Animals Need Our Voice

Last week, our beloved Center cat, Quanta was shot by a pellet gun. She is under veterinary care and in the process of healing. Quanta is a healing presence in our Center for Spiritual Living on the Island of Kaua’i. She came to us most unexpectedly one Sunday, arriving unannounced and flopping herself down on […]

Growing Pains

What Are Growing Pains? I’m not talking about the ones that children and teenagers experience as their bodies grow. I’m talking about emotional and spiritual growing pains, which I define as: “The struggles, discomfort, or challenges that happen during a period of change, learning, or growth — the ‘pain’ that comes with moving from one […]

72 Years of Awakening

This month, I celebrated my 72nd birthday. I really can’t believe I’m 72 years old. I do not feel like an “old woman.” In fact, I don’t feel physically much different than I did as a young person. When I look in the mirror, I’m actually surprised by what I see—me, with a few wrinkles […]

Moving On

There is a song by Stephen Sondheim called Move On. I love this song, and I’ve sung it a few times. I resonate with its message about letting go and moving forward when the time is right. The song carries a feeling of wanting something new and different, of yearning to create or experience something […]

I Found My Red Dress

As some of you know, I’ve written a book called Where is My Red Dress? – One Woman’s Sensual, Sexual, Spiritual Journey to Wholeness.

Forgiveness: What It Is and What It Is Not

Yesterday, I was accused of being “judging, condemning and sentencing.” I will not go into the details of the whys and wherefores of this accusation here, but I am driven to write this blog, not to redeem myself, but to give a higher perspective on what I believe forgiveness is. During my life, I have […]

Love Changes Everything

I’m singing a song tomorrow for Martin Luther King, Jr.’s celebration at our Center. It is from a musical called Aspects of Love. The song is “Love Changes Everything.” This happens to be the name of this blog site, too. It is something I truly believe. Love does change everything. It does so because when […]
