Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. ~Buddha When I first heard the phrase “living in the moment” I found myself laughing sadly and shaking my head at the gullible fools who would buy into something so inane. Live in the moment? What fool would... Continue Reading →
As strange as it may seem, it is possible to love without attachment. I’ll grant you, that is an alien concept in a day and age when the concept of love has been watered down to the point where it is used in regards to your like of soft drinks and computer games. But it... Continue Reading →
Why is it that so many people have such a deep-seated fear of oneness?Honestly, you say the word and you can feel people cringe; that is when they are not jumping all over you for promoting ‘New Age claptrap’ or un-American sentiments.Un-American? Really? Last I heard America was the ‘Great Melting Pot’ where Peoples of different... Continue Reading →
I don’t know how many of you remember this, but during the 1980’s there was a heavy metal band by the name of Twisted Sister. (Note: Actually, I believe that they are still performing, but I lost track of them after their break up during the late 80’s). Anyway, my freshman year in high school... Continue Reading →
You’ve run into them, I know you have, those New Age ‘gurus’ who sell a method or process of enlightenment that is “guaranteed” to work. Well, you have to buy their book or their 10 disc CD set or sign up for their online course (where you get a personal spirit coach and a free... Continue Reading →
There are some things that are very difficult to put into words. Love; real love; unconditional love is one of those. When those of us who have been raised in western socieities think of love we almost always associate it with things like romantic love, passion, sex, intimacy and those things that lead up to these. But... Continue Reading →
There is a yearning in every human heart; a seeming emptiness that cries out to be filled. Some people feel this emptiness as a lack. They feel that there is something tangible that is missing in their lives and attempt to fill it with whatever makes the feel better; drugs, sex, alcohol, food, shopping. It doesn't seem...

There is a moment; a moment in time when everything falls into place and it doesn't matter what you believe. Suddenly you know, and the knowing makes all of the difference. It all makes sense; all of it. Everything that you've been railing against finally slips into its niche and you can see for yourself... Continue Reading →
We’ve all felt it; that all encompassing sense of wonder and mystery that accompanies those things which unexpectedly touch your soul. I don’t care if it is listening to the dawn’s first birdsong or the lonely call of a loon on a moonlit lake. It doesn’t matter if it is the hypnotic crashing of ocean... Continue Reading →
THE MAGIC OF MANIFESTATION Wouldn’t it be marvelous if you had a magic wand? Some sort of device that – if used properly – would bring you exactly what you want a la Harry Potter? Just swish and flick and bingo, it’s yours! Did you know that you actually possess the ability to do just... Continue Reading →
Do you know how hard it is to ask the universe for something and then to let it happen without trying to help or hinder it? Yes, I said hinder it. Heaven only knows that on some level even those who are perfectly clear about asking the universe for what they want; who have mastered... Continue Reading →
I don’t know about you, but I’m a chocolate kind of girl. From the time I was little I would bypass the pretty pink ice creams (strawberry mostly) that other girls my age seemed so fond of (I honestly think it had something to do with the popularity of Strawberry Shortcake at the time) and... Continue Reading →
Have you ever felt that you were wasting your life? No, now don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing the life you’re living, your job, how much or little you’ve saved, your choice of life partners, your choice in household furnishings, hobbies, or your role as a parent or parent-care provider. But admit it –... Continue Reading →
All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything. ~ Swami Vivekanada Go on, say the word out loud. Whisper it if it makes you feel better: Oneness. Did you shudder? Did your stomach turn over and give you a vague sense of queasiness? Were... Continue Reading →
Seeing beneath the surface of reality sounds like such a romantic concept. The idea of seeing things as they really are; of experiencing the truth; of getting to the heart of the matter; all of it sounds so incredibly exotic and spiritual. The reality of seeing what is really there instead of what you want... Continue Reading →
Forget the Matrix. It is the Hive that has you! Ah, the idealization of bees. What a simple life they live; born with a purpose etched into their very fabric of being, a bee never questions its lot in life (well, not unless it’s a Disney bee, but that’s a whole different breed). It simple... Continue Reading →
YOU ARE HERE. How many times have we seen those words – usually on maps – and almost always accompanied by a large red X (with or without an arrow pointing to it) so that you know that THIS X, not some other random X, is the one you need to be paying attention to?... Continue Reading →
“It isn’t what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it’s what we say to ourselves about what happens.” ~Pema Chodron How many hours have you spent living in pain? Oh, I’m not talking about physical conditions here; broken bones and painful illnesses and things that can be relieved by popping a few... Continue Reading →
God I love a thunderstorm. No, let me correct that - I love the build up to a thunderstorm; the roiling black clouds that build up on the horizon, the increasing pressure in the air, the heady scent of ozone and the wind as it starts gusting through my yard making the roses toss their...

“Life does not put things in front of you that you are unable to handle.” ~ Unknown How many times have you been faced with a seemingly hopeless situation and have ended up avoiding it altogether because it seems so impossible? Oh don’t look at me like that. Everyone does it. You’re life is clicking... Continue Reading →
