“Out Beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about language, ideas, even the phrase ‘each other’ doesn’t make any sense.” Rumi Last night at our Wisdom and Chocolate discussion*, a […]
Read more "The Place That’s Never Been Touched…"“What will this day be like, I wonder,” sings Maria Von Trapp in the Sound of Music (the film). 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?"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 […]

It has been a full time for us since June of 2022 and before. In fact, our life is always full and busy as Spiritual Directors of a growing Center. What am […]
Read more "Free of Minutia/e"When I was growing up in a Catholic home, it was mandatory and traditional to say what is called Grace before our meals. It went like this: Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, through Christ our Lord. Amen. That prayer became rote and memorized […]
Read more "Say Grace!"And so, I have spent the last five days with my mentor and dear friend Dr. James Mellon. I’ve reconnected with many of my colleagues and friends and met new ones. I’ve been on a retreat in Joshua Tree, taught a workshop on my book “What Do I Need to KNOW?,” led a labyrinth walk […]
Read more "Once Upon an Upgrade"This blog is based on a message I gave at CSL Kaua`i on 10/30/22. As soon as we found out we were forced to move from our home after 4.5 years, we began to look for a new home to rent. There is a consciousness on Kaua`i that it is difficult to find a home […]
Read more "S.C.A.M."My father stood with a cup of coffee in his hand. He liked the kind with the cup and the saucer. I think it made him feel more affluent drinking from a cup like that. I know, for myself, when I want to feel a little closer to my dad and also feel a feeling […]
