We’ve made a riddle out of simplicity. — Ernest Holmes I love this quote by Ernest Holmes, mystic and Founder of the Religious Science movement. Our teaching is so simple and yet we continue to complicate it and our lives with our mental confusion. Keeping it simple, I believe is a spiritual practice. It means […]
Read more "Is It That Simple?"Technology is anything we use repeatedly and intentionally to produce transformation. In that light, prayer is a technology. Meditation is a technology. And gratitude — when practiced with awareness — is a spiritual technology that alters both our biology and our reality.

Read more "Gratitude as a Spiritual Technology"Let me take a little liberty with this famous quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. To begin, or not to begin: that is the question. Do we suffer the slings and arrows of procrastination, or do we decide, trust, and move forward? In Hamlet, Shakespeare shows a man trapped by indecision—to his own detriment. Life imitates art!

Read more "A Call to Conscious Transformation"Today, I want to take a big burden off myself and those who come to me with questions about death and other experiences of life. I want to be free to say sometimes, we cannot step back far enough to know. We simply do not know the depth of each person’s eternal journey. In the […]
Read more "Permission Not to Know"All the women below tended their garden called Curiosity, allowing them to press through walls that might have obstructed them and help shape the world we know today: Without curiosity, we would never advance as a species. What am I curious about? What are you curious about? Are you done—retired, ready to rest in your […]
Read more "Tending the Garden of Curiosity"There’s a well-known saying: “What you focus on grows.” It’s true, and it’s scientific. Everything is energy, and your own energy is vibrating at a specific frequency.
