Let Your Life Speak

As this blog post was percolating in my mind, my daughter was sharing some frustration around a situation in my granddaughter’s life. This next weekend, there are two events she really wants to participate in. The two events do not usually conflict, but this year they are on the same weekend. My granddaughter […]

Retreat

As the saying goes, and miles to go before I sleep…. It has been a wonderFUL couple of weeks since my last blog post. I have already written about some of the specifics in my article for the November Beyond Mastery newsletter, so you will read about those when that comes out (or […]

What Will It Take?

Many of you know my personal healing journey of when I had been given a diagnosis of degenerative disc disease—L4, L5, and S1, and osteoarthritis of the hip. I was told that I needed to have a hip replacement but, since I was only 38 years old at the time, it was suggested […]

The journey itself will reveal the means to take me there. ~ Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University One of the projects of the Brahma Kumaris I really appreciate is Images and Voices of Hope.

Answer the Call

Last evening we watched Cloud Atlas with some friends. In a very complex plot, spanning six locations and seven time periods, Sonmi-451, a human clone in 2144, works as a slave in a fast food restaurant. She becomes awakened to the truth that the workers are not freed after the end of their […]

For Good

This was the Thought for Today that slipped, almost innocently, into my inbox during the early morning hours. It was sent to me by a good friend. I could sign up to receive them directly, but I appreciate the connection with a person who touched my life when she lived here in my […]

White-footed Deer Mouse

When you are aware that perspective creates experience, you really do choose to take a greater sense of responsibility for your life. What do you think of when you think of a mouse? Many people are very frightened of mice. Does that seem odd when you bring a rational mind to it? Have […]
