Putting on a New Garment of Consciousness in 2020

There is a saying that one should not try to put old wine into new bottles or old cloth on a new garment. This is a great metaphor for me, as I move into 2020. My last month of the year was filled with so many losses of loved ones. It was filled with demands […]

What’s In Your Future?

I used to love horoscopes and having people read my future. Now, I understand that everything is stored in my subconscious and that there are people that are very good at reading, not necessarily my future, the subconscious. I understand that the only future I have is what I create now in this moment. Anything […]

Be Calm and Remember the Catamaran

There once was a woman who bought a Christmas gift for her family. It was a trip on the Catamaran, a deluxe snorkel cruise to the Napali Coast. She was excited for the prospect of her children and grandchild having an amazing day in the sea and sun, accompanied by dolphins and whales. The day […]

Evolution through Involution

Evolution is the time and the process to which an idea unfolds to a higher state of manifestation, and since ideas are divine realities, evolution will go on forever. Evolution is an effect.

Flex Your Spiritual Muscle

I began exercising in 1977 when I had just had my third child. I remember how dedicated I was to it. I would put my daughter in the middle of the local high school football field where I could see her. She’d crawl around while I ran around the running track that was part of […]

In Honor of Jai Roberts

“Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch […]

A Spiritual System

We get up early on Sunday mornings to get ready for our talks and to make sure everything is running smoothly in our Center of Spiritual Living. This morning, I was feeling a little under the weather. I hate to use the term, but I’ve been fighting off some type of congestion that seems to […]

Hidden Strength

I am struck by the image of an iceberg as I think of the idea of our hidden strength. What we see of our lives is like the tip of the iceberg peeking out of the water. The hidden strength of us is what lies within, beneath the surface. It is our subconscious mind. We […]
