How to Love Unconditionally
I ran across this beautiful, heartfelt expression of how to truly love unconditionally and I just had to share with you. I could not have written it better myself.

Nelson Mandela: A Master Teacher for Humanity
Since the news of Nelson Mandela’s transition Home, I have felt a sense of unrest. I did not feel sad when I heard the news, as I believe he fulfilled his purpose in this lifetime and I know he is resting in the Peace of God. Instead, I felt a sense of responsibility. Responsibility to […]
Remembering Forgiveness No Matter What
Last week I had a profound reminder of the power of forgiveness. When I set the intention to extend forgiveness, regardless of the circumstances, last year, I had no idea that the number of opportunities presented to me to forgive would increase.

I started a garden in July, and I am being reminded of so many spiritual truths through nurturing it. One central theme is: You harvest what you plant.

As I was preparing for the next From Stress to Peace class, I ran across the following quote from A Course in Miracles: “The whole reality of your relationship with Him lies in our relationship to one another.” It was a line that I highlighted in the book back in 2007, around the time I […]
Peaceful Mothering
Happy Mother’s Day! As I sit here in my office with Calm Meditation Radio playing in the background, I am reflecting on the significant shift I have experienced in my feelings about motherhood over the last year and a half. When I was at my lowest point, in January of last year, I was not […]
