Love Is In The Air- This is a week of remembering Love.  Many folks feel like Valentine’s Day (the day I am writing this blog) is a Hallmark constructed holiday.  For me, Valentine’s Day is special.  My dad gave my mother a giant heart full of chocolate candy...

Being Our Authentic Self- I often wonder if there is any greater challenge than being our authentic self – dropping the mask of who we think we should be; or who others think we should be in favor of our true divine beingness.  For me this has been and continues to be...

Don’t Stop Believe-in- From Michigan’s Rose Bowl win through the championship celebration to The San Francisco Forty Niners win on Sunday, I have been reminded to look at what I believe in – what I find fascinating about manifestation.  Then out of the blue, I...

Aspiration A critical step in realizing who we really are is the aspiration to do exactly that….it may seem like a slam dunk however my experience tells me that isn’t the case.  To know ourselves as magnificent, to realize that we are great beings is just not in the...

Holy Light -Holy Night- Regardless of your chosen celebration this season -there are times when the Light gives us a sense of all things sacred. The story of the coming of the Christ child exists in many traditions and myths.  Special people show up in the form of...

Faith and Light Arguably I could say this was the worst year of my life – broken arm, surgery, dead husband, difficult friendships, and I could go on..there have been moments when I was doubled over in pain and sadness. And then I started to look more deeply. This is...
