I live in a teeny tiny town With not a whole lot to do Today while driving home from the grocery store I noticed the church marquee said something new… “We don’t need more to be thankful for We just need to be thankful more.” And I sat with that in my mind. I drove… Continue reading Enough

Heaven and Earth
I was born as an earthy sign With my karma and my duties very much alive Taking place at home on solid ground. My feet are tough and so am I I move and climb Putting distance behind All the places I’ve been - checking them off in my mind. I’ve got a little baby… Continue reading Heaven and Earth
Infinite
With the realization that we can do what we want We are shown just that. We can think what we want. Put love in your mind and let it ripple out Put hatred in there too and it will flow on in There's optimism and hope available to you There's fear and worry at your… Continue reading Infinite
Confession
I let the phone gently hit the floor With a dull and crashing thud It had to be done I was glued to the thing And paying attention to superficial me Worried about likes and loves It’s irrelevant you see I’m banging my head up against the wall On a rather regular basis I’ve forgotten… Continue reading Confession
Science of the Soul
Several months ago I sat at my computer reading over a list of possible retreat options. Usually once a year, if not twice, I visit The Peace Village... a meditation and learning center located in the Catskill Mountains, about 90 minutes from my home in upstate New York.

Max had a cancer diagnosis in himself that he was battling with, and still… Continue reading How Can I Help
Working With the Moon
There have been many nights in my life where I would wake up out of a deep sleep because of the sudden feeling of a spotlight in my room. I would wake, a bit disoriented and realize that it wasn't an actual spotlight, but the brightness of the moon poking through pine trees in through… Continue reading Working With the Moon
Happy Right Now
A few days ago I picked up a copy of the late Dr. Wayne Dyer's book "Excuses Begone" for $1.00 at a local used bookstore. It was a treasure for me to find this book and I began reading 20 minutes after I bought it. The other night I began a chapter that talked all… Continue reading Happy Right Now
I Like…
My children have been arguing a lot lately. I guess it's to be expected with a 3 year old and a 7 year old... but it's incredibly draining and also contagious. With them at odds so frequently, my husband and I become tense too. Then before long it seems like no one can agree on… Continue reading I Like…
