Love is Always the Answer

On this anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr (4/4/68), I am renewing my commitment to living in the light.  I saw this message to Iran from Israel this morning and teared up (it doesn’t take much for me) – they were stressing that while their leadership may be promoting hate and fear, they had nothing but love in […]

After my personal retreat, I was determined to maintain the peace of mind that I was experiencing.  I went deep into meditation, spiritual readings, audiobooks, therapy, and anything else I could find that would help me stay focused.  One of the things I couldn’t shake was the negative thoughts I was having about people or situations […]

Personal Retreat

The personal retreat that restored my soul… After my breakdown, I knew it was time for me to finally take a personal retreat.  I was shocked when I paused to look back over the last 14 years (my entire adult life) and realized I had never taken a vacation all by myself.  The exception to this was when […]
