What Do I Want?

It has come to my attention that the most important question we can ask ourselves when we seem to be unsettled about something is “What do I want?” or “What is wanting to be known here?” When I am doing a session with someone and they are going round in circles telling me their story, […]

A Memory in a Cup of Coffee

About a decade and a half ago, I was probably at my lowest place financially speaking. I was the one who slept on the floor when I went to visit someone or slept in someone else’s room at conferences without sharing the cost. I appreciated the generosity of my friends. They did it because they […]

Welcome to the Buffet

I went out for breakfast this morning and I had the choice between ordering from the menu or getting the buffet. It was a lovely buffet with all kinds of healthy choices. The price was not the issue. It was something else. I usually stay away from buffets because I have the belief that because […]

Que Será, Será

Do any of you remember this song, sung by “Doris Day?” When I was just a little girl I asked my mother, what will I be Will I be pretty Will I be rich Here’s what she said to me Que será, será Whatever will be, will be The future’s not ours to see Que […]

Keep At It!

Yesterday was a day mixed with so many different experiences. From having a joy-filled appreciation dinner for a leadership team, to experiencing the death of a colleague a few hours before, to holding consciousness for others with varying life challenges, I would say it was a day well spent. When I woke up this morning, […]

The Unconscious Invitation

Last night in a class here at the Center, we discussed the idea of something called “The Unconscious Invitation.” This idea, as presented by Dr. Ernest Holmes, simply states that we are always creating experiences, consciously or unconsciously. We are inviting experiences into our life by our prevalent and strongest emotions. This makes sense to […]

Will I Get Everything Done?

I’ve had a lot on my plate of late. It seems I move from one big project to the next. If I look back on my life, I can see it has always been this way. However, since I’ve become a Director of a Center for Spiritual Living it is accelerated. The great news for […]

We Say We Want Peace?

In his book, The Isaiah Effect, Gregg Braden tells of an indigenous man who shares the idea of unity with him. The man likens it to the sage that is growing around them; although it seems separate, there are the roots below the surface that are one, entwined and growing together. This, he states, is how […]

After the Storm

We went through quite a storm yesterday here on the Island. Lots and lots of strong wind and rain plummeted us, downing trees, etc. This morning is beautiful, sunny and peaceful. As I went outside and began to sweep and rake the leaves from the lanai, I reflected on the idea of “after the storm.” […]

Discover, Understand, Use…

I live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, miles away from any other land mass, just one of a chain of small islands in an endless ocean. I usually do not think of it as isolation, nor do I get Island fever. However, on days like the last two, when the wind is blowing […]
