Every Second There is a Choice

“We cannot live a choiceless life. Every day, every moment, every second, there is a choice. If it were not so, we would not be individuals.” Ernest Holmes Today, “the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, holding that there was no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion.” History.com How do you feel […]

Look For The Fixed Good

Science has now shown us what the ancients have known: We live, move, and have our being in the Field of Energy that permeates all creation. We impress this Field with our thoughts and feelings, which create our own vibration. We bring back to ourselves that same vibration in the form of experience. Simply put, […]

Live It!

I was meditating this morning, when my thoughts began to wander to teaching a new class in the Fall on the basics of the Science of Mind. I was thinking of calling it “Change Your Energy, Change Your Life.” Suddenly, I heard a voice from within saying, “Live it, Rita. Live it. Live it for […]

Yes, We Have No Mangoes

There is an old song called “Yes! We Have No Bananas.” I read that it was written about the depression and the bananas that were ruined by a certain disease.

Allowing = Freedom

I do my best to practice the Law of Allowing. The only control we have in life is our own reaction to whatever is occurring. The control we think we have over another person is purely a figment of our imagination, for that control is only that which the other person has allowed. We have […]
