Are you busier than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs? I'm writing to you today  to tell you about a wonderful new workshop I've created called "Action and Contemplation:  A Beautiful Partnership." I'm really excited about this workshop!  Somewhere along the line I learned that contemplation allows for more action, and action ...continue reading "Action and Contemplation, a Beautiful Partnership"

As we approach the end of one year and the beginning of another, I believe it to be quite natural that we turn to a bit of reminiscing and review, along with contemplation and setting of intentions.   For me, on the outside, 2023 was filled with 9 talks, 5 workshops and 45 weddings.  My ...continue reading "Make it a truly HAPPY New Year!"

One of my favorite things to do in the mornings, after meditating and doing my spiritual study, is to check my Facebook memories feed.  It gives me a snap shot of my life in years past.  This is very helpful because I don’t remember the past.  Not really.  I remember it in very general terms, ...continue reading "Sheltering in Place = Getting to know self and Self"

In the comforting sounds of hearing the rain on the roof of my skylights, I contemplate. Contemplation is such a wonderful thing. I don't know about you but this spiritual practice is the one that allows my mind to wander and consider possibilities. Meditation trains the mind and brings focus, while contemplation seems to want ...continue reading "Are you settling?"

In traditional language, words like powerless and surrender are used. For me, these words evoke a return to victimhood and I do not resonate with them. But the ...continue reading "A new way of looking at surrender"

  Every day, as part of my spiritual practice, I read from a couple of different daily readers. Today, both of them are about forgiveness. While some might consider this magical thinking, I've learned not to ignore stuff like this. When I get two readings on the same topic, it allows me to stop and ...continue reading "Got forgiveness?"
