Hanukkah, the Light of Certainty & the Science of Mind

More than two thousand years ago, the Jewish people lived under the rule of the Seleucid Empire, where King Antiochus IV outlawed Jewish religious practice and desecrated the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

My Father, My Heart

I was deep in meditation with Dr. Joe Dispenza. He was focusing on opening our hearts by breathing into our heart center. I was suddenly connected with my father. Yes, I’ve been thinking of him lately, but in this moment, I felt like I actually connected with his story. You see, my father grew up […]

Looking for Good?

“Today is new, and I am newly awakened in it. I believe with dauntless faith that my good, in full measure, comes to me from God today.”— Ernest Holmes In our faith and philosophy, we often say that “God is the source and substance of our supply.” What do we mean by that? There is […]

In the play Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Polonius gave some advice to his son Laertes befor leaving for France. He said, “This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” I believe this is a true statement. […]

Who Am I?

The world is in a state of chaos and many of us are terrified. I, for many reasons, am not. Should I be? There seems to be so much at stake – our very freedom, our democracy, our very life in some cases. The fires in California brought home the impermanence of life. I am […]
