What Is My Contribution?

I woke up yearning to get out on my bike but clicked on the video by Mary Reed (The Unwitting Mystic). I spent the next hour hearing, feeling, knowing I was right where I was to be.

I have spent time with Mary Reed in person, and I have followed her video offerings. Mary […]

Everyone Benefits or Everyone Suffers

Faith. It’s all about believing. You don’t know how it will happen. But you know it will. ~ Anonymous (AwakentheGreatnessWithin.com)

Sometimes I think it could be quite helpful to be an astrologer, or a psychic, or a saint. Especially when life presents challenges.

Below are three recent journal entries. The “D” stands for […]

Overcoming Addiction

Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, and suddenly, you are doing the impossible. ~Francis of Assisi

“Addiction, it has been said, starts in pain and ends in pain.” This is the opening line in the Editor’s Note in the January, 2018, edition of GUIDEPOSTS. The title is ‘Overcoming Addiction.” […]

June has been a very full month…. On June […]

Overcoming….

In wonderful ways, life is always providing us opportunities of overcoming amidst chaos. I met a man, Captain Ed, who had a brain aneurysm in 2014, and describes himself as a walking miracle. After hearing some of what he has been overcoming, I asked him, “What were you saved FOR?”

He went on to […]

Red and Blue

I love color, and I am also fascinated by shapes. In my next life I might like to study sacred geometry. This image came up when I searched “What color does blue and red make?”

My question about what color you get by mixing red and blue resulted from a recent post-puzzling conversation […]

Lessons from the Mold

I am just back from a retreat/intensive with the Deep Spring Dharma Path group. This group is a two-year commitment to daily practice, weekly meetings, and twice-yearly intensives. I said this morning I have not yet found my feet, but I know where I left them, and I assume they are still there waiting for […]

Power of Choice

Some days are so humbling…. women I know are going through so much. I am not saying men are without their challenges, too, but women I KNOW are going through so much.
