Last night during our Wisdom Wednesday and Chocolate, we had a great discussion, as we always do. (See Wisdom Wednesday and Chocolate below) I brought up the topic of Christmas and what it might mean to each of us. I wasn’t surprised at the responses. Christmas means everything from regret to a feeling of indifference […]
Read more "Still thinking About Christmas…"Can today be a day of solutions and closure on unfinished business? I don’t know about you, but I have a challenge with unresolved issues or experiences that are needing closure. I like completing projects and having answers and making phone calls that resolve issues. Today is one of those days. There is a lot […]
Read more "Where are the Solutions"My question today is about integrity. First of all, what is integrity? The dictionary defines it as “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness:” I understand the idea of honesty; however, when I think of “moral uprightness” the phrase connotates a bit of an attitude of superiority. For me, integrity […]
Read more "Out of Integrity?"My husband I were gazing out at the landscape around our new home. From our bedroom, it is as if we live at the top of the world. We can see the different mountain ranges of Kaua`i. We sit amidst the tall trees and are snuggled among citrus trees that are abundant. We looked at […]
Read more "Ta-Da!"I think it was around 2009 or so when I wrote a blog called the Parable of the Oranges. It was about my experience when I was out running and observed a man carrying a large bag of oranges. He had picked them from a tree I had been coveting on my runs every morning. […]

Today, I heard the answer to this question, given by Esther Hicks in a short video: “I set my own tone.” I love this affirmation. “I set my own tone” means I get to decide how […]
Read more "“I Set My Own Tone”"As ministers of New Thought, we are asking ourselves what is next for us, for our Centers, for our own lives. It is all one thing. I will just speak from my own thoughts and questions. I have many. The biggest question is: What is the role of church today? I know our Founder Ernest […]
Read more "What is a Church?"“You’re Perfect, You’re Golden,” sings the New Thought artist, Jami Lula in his song “Perfect.” Do we believe we are perfect? “Sometimes,” some people will say, but most people will say, “Never. I couldn’t be perfect.” They are thinking that perfection is about what we do and how we do it. We are always striving […]
Read more "Are You Undercover?"I have many memories of Christmas, beginning when I was a little girl, growing up on Long Island, New York. My memories never had anything to do with presents. It was something else. I’m asking myself today, “Where are you Christmas?” When I was little, my Aunt Lucile used to come to visit. She was […]
Read more "Where Are You Christmas?"So, we are finally moved, and I sit here in our new home. I woke with a sense of insecurity. I was awake at 3 am. I kept trying to go back to sleep, but a voice kept saying, “You have work to do.” At first, I thought that work might be about writing or […]
