Make Not Your Thoughts Your Prisons

Several centuries ago, William Shakespeare wrote “Make not your thoughts your prisons.” I am finding great comfort in these words today, along with the Science of Mind reading about having the Mind in us that was in Christ Jesus. What does it all mean? Well, there is only one Mind that we all share. It […]

What is Impending is a Choice

I knew an eighty-seven year old woman who spent the last year of her life worried that she would run out of money before she died, that she would not be able to afford to care for herself while her health declined. She was a religious woman of the Catholic Faith. I reminded her, in […]

The Year of Transformation

As this year comes to an end, I am reflecting on all that has happened. If I had to some the year up in one word it would be Transformation. And, of course, this is the word we chose for this year at CSL Kaua’i. The Year of Transformation. So much has occurred joyfully and […]

Mele Kalikimaka!

Ernest Holmes wrote, “Who would entertain the Christ, must invite It! It does not come unbidden, nor sit at any person’s table an unwelcome guest; neither does the Divine Present force Itself upon any. It stands at the door and knocks. WE MUST OPEN IF WE ARE TO RECEIVE. But how can we receive unless, […]

The Healing Power of Christmas

As I sit here writing on the Island of Kaua’i. Time plays tricks with my mind. I cannot believe that 24 hours ago in time and space I was in Los Angeles speaking from the GTC pulpit, hugging and greeting friends and saying Aloha. I am grateful to be home with my CSL Kaua’i Ohana, […]

Rebirth into Kindness

Yesterday, we celebrated Nora James Rose-Hines. We will never forget her because she is here in a new way and will continue to be our teacher. I believe this and her celebration of life yesterday was a testament of that. And, today is a new day. I have the opportunity to be reborn just like […]

Honoring Nora

Today we celebrate Nora James Rose-Hines. When I use the word celebrate I mean what I say. There is much to celebrate about this Being of Light and Love who has brought many of us together to love each other more deeply. Her transition has demanded that we become more of our True Selves now. […]

Why Nora?

I am here in Los Angeles with many individuals, all unique, who love Nora. We’ve come to both celebrate this amazing young woman and share our deep sorrow for her transition all at the same time. You can imagine how many feelings and emotions have converged in one place to seek solace through this process. […]

The Impatient Gesture

“Death has nothing to do with life everlasting, and is but an impatient gesture of the soul, wishing to rid itself of a body no longer useful.” I always love this quote by Ernest Holmes and I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. We are here in Los Angeles getting ready to celebrate the […]

Creative Visualization

It can be easy to get trapped in the negative spiral of all that is going on lately in our personal and global worlds. Someone said to me recently, “Why can’t the world get it…?” He was talking about the idea of peaceful and forgiving relationships in the global sense. I said, “We are the […]
