Gratitude
Coming Clean
Yesterday, I returned home from a 4-day/3-night personal retreat in Mount Shasta, California. It was majestic, healing, and empowering. I am so grateful for the time away from the day-to-day responsibilities so I could reflect on where I am, visualize where I’d like to be, and seek Guidance for the ways in which I can […]
We are One
There are moments in our lives, where emotions are moving through so strongly that all we can do is pray. Last night was one of those moments for me. I couldn’t even find the words for prayer, so I just asked for Guidance in what I could say that might support the movement toward Peace. […]
Moving Beyond Your Limits
Have you ever felt fear of what will happen if you step out into new territory? You know, those moments in which thoughts like ‘What will happen? Will I succeed? Am I ready for what comes with success? What if I fail? What will people think of me? ‘ seem to takeover the mind? Well, The past […]
Being Grateful for Everyone and Everything
I pray you had a wonderful weekend, and that this message finds you doing well. I just posted a new video on gratitude that was inspired by my son needing to come home from school today. I’ve written a number of times about the behavioral expressions of my son, as a major lesson in my […]
The Spiritual Teachings of Maya Angelou
Although I heard the news yesterday, the significance of the transition of Dr. Maya Angelou touched me deeply today. I woke up at 4 a.m., and immediately went into a meditative prayer of gratitude for all she blessed the world with. Tears of gratitude have flowed off and on, and an increased sense of responsibility […]

Embodying the Divine
The memory of the time in my life when I was feeling stressed, out-of-balance, overwhelmed, worried about the future, resentful of past hurts, ashamed of my mistakes, annoyed with a number of people, and completely unsure of how to be at peace lies so vividly in my mind. I am grateful that I haven’t forgotten […]
You Can’t Reap What You Don’t Sow
I was watching the movie The Lorax with my sons the other day, and have not been able to get the theme song out of my head. One of the lines in the song goes, “You can’t reap what you don’t sow.” As many times as we have watched the movie, I never focused on […]
All Things are Possible With God
One of the lines I say most frequently is “All things are possible with God,” but do I really believe that in all areas of my life? I thought I did, until this past Friday. I received an important reminder that not only are “all things possible,” but also that I should never underestimate, or […]
Thank You!
I am on my way to a 4 day/3 night meditation retreat in the desert to close out 2012. I couldn’t go into this retreat without saying thank you to all of you! Thank you so much for taking the time to read my posts. I truly appreciate all of your comments and encouragement throughout […]
