I love the warmth of summer, but the moment it turns to fall, my body does a little happy dance too. Time to spend evenings on the couch reading my new favorite book, or trying a new recipe (I’m kinda getting into this cooking thing – miracles never cease to happen!). The fun mania of

“God is the energy and frequency that joyfully permeates all things.” When I read this line, I stopped. I took a deep breath in. My heart knew it was the Truth – so eloquently said. So perfect. So exact. So vast in it’s meaning. Tears came to my eyes. Easy to know when I see flowers

I had an a-ha moment last month when I happened upon an article about the words “no problem.” Why would 2 simple words that sound so nice create an a-ha moment? The article was about how we as a culture receive gratitude – a thank you from someone for something we’ve done. As a culture,

There are a lot of “never” and “always” statements I said when I was younger like, “I’ll never wear heels,” or “I’ll never wear makeup,” or “I’ll always love climbing and snow,” or “I’ll never own my own business.” I think that I can officially say that all of those “always and nevers” have been

I had a dream the other night – it was really vivid. I was swimming in the ocean with a snorkel or scuba dive gear – not sure which one, but the water felt very real. When I first poked my nose and eyes under the water, everything was really cloudy – I couldn’t see

It’s that time of year, when thanks and giving (and let’s not forget black Friday) are the theme. Maybe we feel it, maybe we don’t (and maybe we shop and maybe we don’t). It was interesting – when our Sophia (women’s) group got together for dinner this week, one of the women said, “Let’s all

Sometimes words don’t do justice. I could write about trust, but the mind can only absorb so much. The eyes – what the eyes pick up can sink into the unconscious – the place where anything is possible. Trust can be created, trust can be broken. Relationships can be created, relationships can be broken. Then

The long answer is “YES.” Yes, yes, and yes. ANYTHING can be used to escape from what we feel in the body. Including meditation. And the entire spiritual path. “I’ll just say my prayers, do my mantras, meditate, wish good will to the world… but don’t ask me to call my brother I haven’t talked

An age old question. Sometimes worded as, “Why are we here?” I’ve asked myself this question and I’m guessing you have too. It wasn’t until I was on a meditation retreat that I experienced the answer. It didn’t happen through my mind, but an experience – a knowing that came in an unexpected moment. My

One thing I know is that every human being wants happiness. On some level. Whether it’s conscious or not. You want happiness. I want happiness. Yet it seems like an illusion. Life has challenges. The kids are rowdy, you’re late for work, you’re stressed about money, your spouse doesn’t want to connect, you want your
