Fears Gone!

The “theme-of-the-week” (if  a week can have a theme) has been fear. Of course, I love the plays on the word, such as false evidence appearing real. I found a website with many more. Here are just a few: Frustration, Ego, Anxiety, Resentment Forever Escaping And Retreating Frantic Efforts to Appear Recovered For […]

Bench Chat

When I saw this photo on the wall of a friend on Facebook a few days ago, I instantly had the thought I would blog about it.  This morning early, it was quite interesting to receive a text asking me if I communicate with people who have passed. I told her I learned […]

No Benefit in Worrying

A wonderful woman I have been working with is facing a surgery that has been referred to as “The Mother of All Surgeries.” She is an amazing individual, and she did her homework to find the right team to do this surgery for her. At the same time she is on this amazing […]

Past Pain

I often notice when a certain theme seems to be prevalent in the world around me. For example, I spent the past weekend with my daughter and her family. My grandson, Adam, just graduated from high school and is about two weeks away from leaving for a three-month culinary work-study experience in Italy. […]

Eternal Expressing

So many people have expressed astonishment that I would actually enjoy a week-long silent meditation retreat. I admit that it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but silence—to my heart—is golden.  I treasure the deeper seeing that occurs naturally. For example, the awe that I felt when I saw these two dandelions […]

The Better For It

I was sitting out on the Zen walkway, sipping a cup of tea with a dear friend. Our sharing naturally included reports of many of those we “hold energy” for: friends and family, folks personally known or those who have come into our hearts and minds via the many-threaded web of our intentionally […]

Make Friends

“Let me take some time each day to look within the self and experience the beauty of my inner qualities,” is the thought for the day that accompanied this photo: This photo and the words were such a timely message, as I had just spent yesterday in a silent meditation retreat with a […]

Graduation

This past week I had the honor of creating a photo board for our grandson, Adam, celebrating his graduation from high school. It had been a long day, and it was already late and I was tired, but soon I was energized walking down memory lane. Awareness of every event as divine order […]

Contributions

This has been a tender spring with young ones in nature. One of the 2014 eaglets on Pine Island few for the first time on March 12, and—just 9 days later—was electrocuted flying into some wires. Did you know, once paired, bald eagles (the only eagle unique to North America), stay with their […]

Hidden Blessings

The phone rang. I heard the voice of Claudia, a good friend. “I am at the ER with Wayne. He cut his wrist badly with the table saw. He is probably going to need surgery.”  “I will send out a request for prayer support to the list right now. Keep me posted.”  Wayne—her […]
