As I enter the 2nd day of our stay-cation here on the west end of the Island of Kaua`i, I am just landing. 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 […]

Say Grace!

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 […]

Once Upon an Upgrade

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 […]

S.C.A.M.

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 […]

Embracing the More

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 […]

Ernest Holmes wrote, “Effective treatment must be independent of any existing circumstance whatsoever, else it will not enter the realm of Unconditioned causation. It will have fallen to the level of those secondary causes which seek to perpetuate themselves in human experience. To rise above the contemplation of conditions is to enter the field of […]

To Yield

:”To Yield: to surrender or submit (oneself) to another… : to give up and cease resistance or contention…” The two above definitions reflect what I am feeling lately. I am being asked to yield. To whom? To Spirit. What exactly does this mean? Am I giving something up? Am if totally out of control? What does it […]

Ready to Receive?

When you create a problem and a question, you have already created the solution to that problem. I heard this from Esther Hicks (Abraham) this morning, followed by this challenge: “Do you know how to get in the receiving mode?” Therein lies the solution. This impacted my mind greatly this morning. As I accept that […]

Faith is a State of Mind

Faith is defined by many spiritual texts, but what it all boils down to this: Faith is a state of mind. We all have faith in something. It isn’t something we have to go and get. Faith is something we direct. We can have lots of faith in uncertainty or disaster or waiting for the […]

A New Home

There has been much inner action regarding our home since we received the news that the one we are living in is going up for sale. How does one demonstrate a home? Ernest Holmes, mystic, author and Founder of the Science of Mind and Spirit, writes this: “If we have the mental equivalent of a […]
