I don’t care how spiritual you are
Do you want to know what makes me swoon? Beautiful, insightful, profound writing. I recently discovered this essay on Facebook, written by Taylor Rose Godfrey and have gotten her permission to share it with all of you. She really dives deep into the heart of true spirituality. “I don’t care how spiritual you are. How […]
Being With What Is
We are now a full six months into living with the Corona pandemic. For me, and most everyone I know, it’s been a very bumpy ride. It’s kind of like white-water river rafting. Periods of smooth tranquil waters followed by occasional terrifying rapids where I’m holding on tight, hoping not to capsize. There’s no map. […]
Sitting Shiva for America
I woke up this morning feeling a sense of great loss, loss for so many things…the loss of civility in our country, the loss of life from Covid, and cancer, and guns, and innocent black men and women being killed, innocent protesters being gunned down, the violence in our streets. The seemingly impossible divide between […]
Relationship Role Modeling from the Obamas
Sixteen years ago Barack and Michelle Obama’s marriage was about to crumble. Michelle told her mother she wasn’t sure their marriage would survive. Barack told his grandmother that Michelle’s constant nagging was driving him crazy. They were drowning in debt from the Ivy League law school loans. Michelle was the major breadwinner with her high […]
The Alchemy of Tragedy
I wasn’t born an optimist. In fact… quite the opposite. I was a moody, sullen, often seriously depressed child and young adult. One night, at age 26, I decided that I was going to find the secret of happiness. I was at a party in Coconut Grove, Florida, at the waterfront home of a millionaire, […]
26 pounds, a muffin top, and true happiness…
Thirty-six years ago I was obsessed with the ambition to attain physical perfection. I had this idea that if I could weigh a certain amount, have my measurements be an exact number, have my hair the best length and all ten of fingernails “long” at the same time, I would be perfect and with that […]
Making Room For Surprises & Miracles
There once was a woman who saw on TV that her neighborhood was about to be flooded and the officials said everyone should evacuate. She believed that God would save her, and she ignored the warning. Then a city worker knocked on her door and told her to leave for higher ground and she said […]
Is Becoming An Author on Your Wish List?
I’ve written eleven non-fiction books over the past thirty years and along the way I made just about every mistake an author can make. Writing, publishing, and marketing a book is a very counter-intuitive process, and unless you seek out expert advice, it’s likely you will make a lot of mistakes as well. That’s why […]
Finally, some good news….
According to the Vedic tradition, we are now in what is called Kali Yuga, the age of darkness and ignorance. A time when people further down the path of dishonesty, and virtue is of little value. Liars and hypocrites rise. The human diet is now ‘dirty’, and the environment is now polluted. Supposedly this will […]
My Favorite Lockdown Distractions
TV, Books, Beach walks and Travel Memories are all the top of my list of how I’ve been keeping myself amused this summer. FYI, none of these activities fall into the category of spiritual or personal growth. TV – Brian and I have fallen into an early evening routine of watching a couple of hours […]
