Between a Rock and a Hard Place

At the suggestion of Gregg Braden in a continuing education course I am taking on resilience, we watched the film “127 Hours.” If you are not familiar with the film, it is the true story of a man named Aron Ralston, an extreme hiker, who was trapped in a desolate canyon, pinned down by a […]

It’s Here, Heaven on Earth

We have watched the film the Celestine Prophecy twice recently: once at home and last night with a small group at our Center. I am touched be this film. I remember reading the book at the turn of the Century. It did not affect me as deeply then as it does now. Watching the film, […]

One Moment In Time at a Time…

All right everyone, guess what? We do not have to conquer the world or save it either. How about we just focus on saving ourselves, one moment at a time. Really, we do not need saving, but some times is feels that way. We get overwhelmed, stressed out and we worry. We worry about the […]

Thanks for the Prayers

“The Central Pacific Hurricane Center said a “jog to the north” Sunday night ― thanks to increasing wind shear and a low-level ridge ― protected the islands from the strongest impacts from the storm.” from Hawaii News I add to this – “thanks to the prayers.

Oh, Douglas!

“Pure Spirit is not and cannot be governed by any weather conditions whatsoever. All weather is a manifestation of Spirit, a flowering of the Divine in sunshine, in shade, in rain and in clouds. …Every belief that I may ever have had that says I am afraid of weather conditions is now vanished from my […]

Are You Ready to Decide?

Making a decision is the first step in manifesting anything in our lives. But, how do we make a decision? Many people ask this question. I understand that decisions can come from various places. A decision can come from our ego. It can come from what other people want us to do. A decision can […]

I Keep My Promise

There is a special meditation written by Dr. Ernest Holmes, mystic, author and Founder of the Science of Mind and Spirit. I feel it is so appropriate for these times right now. We are being told a lot of things in the media, from various people, and leaders, much of it not edifying at all: […]

The 7-Year Itch!

The 7-year itch, along with being a movie with Marilyn Monroe about the temptations of infidelity, is the notion that after seven years of marriage (or a long relationship), you start to get unhappy or unsatisfied and long for something more. I do not know how or who came up with the mark of seven years being […]

Choosing to Shine not Resign

I listened to a powerful talk by Dr. Michael Beckwith today. It was just the right dose of Light that I needed. A few things he said struck me and I want to expand on them here. The first was the idea that during this time of challenge in so many areas, we should shine […]
