Observer or Participant?

I am reading a wonderful book Walking a Sacred Path by Dr. Lauren Artress, who brought the labyrinth to the United States in the 1990s.

Lighten the Load

“There is a power of light and love and beauty in the universe greater than anything we have ever imagined—and it includes us.” I was talking with someone about how hard a task he was doing felt. I’ve felt the same way when I’m engaged in something in the 3D world—like taxes, finances, or a […]

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 […]
