In Honor of September 11, 2001

It’s hard to believe that it’s been seventeen years since we woke up to find out that our country was attacked in the most brutal way with the taking down of the Twin Towers and all that accompanied that horrific day. Just like when our President Kennedy was assassinated, I remember exactly where I was […]

Jack-in-the Box

When I was a child, I had a jack-in-the-box. For those of you who do not know what that is, it was a box that usually contained a clown-like figure. The box had a crank on the side and when I turned it, it played music and at a certain point, the top flipped open […]

Where Are You?

In the studies of different philosophies and religions, something similar comes up, although it is stated in different ways. Sometimes it is called states of consciousness. Sometimes it is spoken of as different mansions in a house. Sometimes it is called kingdoms. There are four that I would like to focus on right now. I […]

Hocus Pocus or Focus!

We are focusing on magic this month at Center for Spiritual Living Kaua’i here in the middle of the South Pacific. It’s been a wonderful month already and we are only one week into it. I think when people think of magic, they think of something that perhaps is going to save them or give […]

One Perfect Life

Last night we had a healing circle at our Center again. I love these healing circles. The feeling of Love that permeates the evening is palpable. It, of course, is never about healing anything. It is about revealing our Divinity to ourselves. There is a statement of Ernest Holmes that I always love to use […]

The Never-Ending Journey of Healing

What is healing? In my Faith, it is revealing our true selves, our Divinity, which is always perfect. “My affairs are in the hands of the Universe, which guides the planets in their course. And which causes the Sun to shine,” wrote Ernest Holmes. If this is true, then we could never want or be […]

Pure Imagination

“Come with me…And you’ll be…In a world of…Pure imagination Take a look…And you’ll see…Into your imagination…” (from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory) Ernest Holmes wrote, “We did not make Life but we can use it; and the use of Life is through the imagination.” What a gift we have. It has been proven that […]

I Exist in Limitless Opportunities

The other day I was talking to someone about a little child who knew exactly who he was from an early age. We sat in conversation about how some people just know from the time they are children what they want to be. It might be a dancer or a singer or they might come […]

Did Something Happen?

In the late spring of 1998, I walked into my first Religious Science church which was under the direction of Rev. Dr. Marlene Morris. I had come from 45 years of practicing various religious ideologies from Catholicism to Mormonism to New Age. At that time, I was finished with churches, so I said. However, when […]

What If?

What if today, each of us were to just allow something greater than our circumstances move through us? What if we were to relax and trust that all is really well? What if every word that came out of our mouth came from the highest place of Love? What if we were to look out […]
