Ride the winds of change, unafraid.

~ Larry Ward

A friend mentioned Russell Boulding’s Earth Energy Healing work last Thursday and I finally got around to checking his website out. Russell says this of himself: “All of my life I have been inclined towards a left-brain rational approach to thought and action. I have a […]

See Every Event as an Opportunity

By Debra Basham, on November 9, 2020

This morning I enjoyed listening to Linda Beushaushen Gunter’s sermon, “Life’s Story.” She told the first “version” of her life and then, reporting on the exact same history, another “version.” The first story focused through the lens of things being unfair, difficult, painful. The second told of the same events, but without all of the […]

At the end of our Zoom dominoes game last night I asked if anybody knew what was going on with the election results. John said, “Biden won.” I was shocked. Linda clarified that results have not yet been declared because of laws suits.

Common Sense: Common Good

Just when all the chips are down, the chins should be up.

~ Neale Donald Walsch

This morning I could feel a subtle pull to look at media, but everybody knows as soon as a winner of the Presidential election is resolved, that news will be widely known. So, why participate in any of […]

Condolences and Congratulations

By Debra Basham, on November 4, 2020

Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need for this bright morning dawning for you.

~ Maya Angelou

Yesterday’s Yellow Brick Road contained the foundation for today’s: Today 49% of the people will be disappointed. That assumes 51% will be relieved or glad.

While elections have winners and losers, we do not have […]

Vote!

By Debra Basham, on November 3, 2020

The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It is the most powerful non-violent tool we have in a democracy. ~ John Lewis

Today is election day 2020. From my journal entry this morning:

Dear Holy Spirit,

Last evening while John was showering I picked up his phone to take photos for him […]

Imagine Healing

By Debra Basham, on November 2, 2020

Because humans process their subjective experience, in part, as pictures, when one says, “I just cannot see how I will get through all of this,” according to Dr. Emmett E.
