We are Nature

I am marveling at my orchids today. Patrick and I received them from various people last year when we moved into our house here in Kapaa. Well, they all lost their blossoms within time, as orchids do. I cut the dead away and left them outside. Well, these orchids blossomed a second time even more […]

“L.E.N.T.” (Dr. James Mellon)

L.E.N.T. (Let’s Eliminate Negative Thinking) was coined by my mentor and friend Dr. James Mellon. He shared this challenge several years ago in answer to the tradition of Lent practiced in the Catholic world. It is his New Thought version of this period of time. He shared it again today in a Facebook Live. Lent […]

Can We Direct Our Feelings?

Did you know you can direct your feelings? Thoughts equal feelings equal emotions. This is what I am learning to even a deeper level. Does it mean suppressing anything? No, it means expressing everything and then deciding what you want to focus on. I did a simple exercise last night while making dinner. I was […]

Death’s Frequent Visit

There has been a lot of death surrounding me of late. Just this last year, more people who I know closely have made their transition, most of them suddenly. I feel that there have been even more deaths in the public eye – young and old. Then there are the suicides that I seem to […]

There’s Only One Life

I’m not sure if they are the words of Ernest Holmes or Emma Curtis Hopkins, two healers and mystics from the 20th Century, but I love this mantra: “There’s only one Life. That Life is God’s Life. That Life is Perfect. That Life is my Life now.” The words have been put the music by […]

There’s a Healing Going On…

There is something called the Wholeness Paradigm that is prevalent in all religious, spiritual and even scientific realms. Metaphysically speaking, it can be translated to mean that “there is an essential unity that runs through all of creation—one source of creative stuff with limitless diverse expressions. The wholeness paradigm is at the core of quantum […]

There is No Competition

Do you ever feel threatened by competition? More than likely, many of us have at times. Perhaps we feel that someone has more talent than us. Perhaps we think some one took an idea that was ours. Perhaps, we feel there are not enough jobs in certain fields, or that because someone else makes more […]

Divine Discontent

There is a song called “Something’s Calling Me.” I love this song by Jami Lula. It gets right into your soul. Have you ever felt like something’s calling you? Everything is fine with your life, but you just feel like there is something deeper to be known. This is called “Divine Discontent.” It is when […]

Love is My Religion

If we look at what’s happened in the Methodist Church in regards to LGBT denial of rights in the name of religion and the multitude (too many to name) that profess that it is Christian to discriminate, judge, even murder, we can get very very discouraged and feel like we are never going to make […]

60,000 Thoughts a Day!!!

Did you know that most of us think 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day and that these thoughts are usually identical to the thoughts we thought the day before. I was quite shocked by this revelation, and it got me thinking. It is no wonder that we can have trouble making the changes we say […]
