Metamorphosis  My favorite Easter card to send this year was the journey of the caterpillar to the butterfly. This has been my personal symbol since I was in my early twenties. My wonderful sister, who transitioned this January, gave me a book called Butterflies are...

The Trickster My father was my first teacher on thought…he would relentlessly repeat “Mind over Matter” every time I got a case of the stomach flu.  Sometimes it worked.  As I was growing up, the idea of positive thinking began to take hold in the culture.  The book...

It’s easier than I thought Consciousness has become nearly a household word.  I suspect that although we may hear the word and use it, there is very little clarity on the meaning.  Like the Divine Intelligence that beats my heart and creates galaxies and genius;...

Principles of Spirit The skinny limb of last week was about the Power of Prayer or good thoughts or communicating with the Great Spirit of Life.  This week has included realizations for me about the importance of the Principles behind Life that make all of humanity...

One From the Heart A favorite teacher of mine, Mickey Singer (The Untethered Soul) says the key to individual change or to global change is to “keep your heart open -no matter what.”  If we look closely, we can definitely tell our heart tends to be closed more than...

Terms of Endearment Excerpt from The Whole Language-the power of extravagant tenderness.  Gregory Boyle. “Endearments are the containers of our tenderness.  Sacraments delivered daily. They are the words and gestures that transport our love from one person to...

You Gotta Have Heart Welcome To February – the shortest month of the year and jam packed with emphasis on Non-Violence, (Dr. King and Ghandi), Black History Month, Good Heart Health and of course my personal favorite, Valentine’s Day….I try to forget its origins on...
