There are times when our primary relationships, as in those with our mothers, are not as ideal as we might want them to be. The mother relationship can be fraught with loss and yearning or psychic weight and unresolved tension. The heart is left rumpled, hunkered-down and uneasy. Given circumstance, illness, trauma and the like, […]
Today is World Penguin Day. It’s an excellent reminder to be more like a penguin by following their example as well as using the power of their symbology to enhance your days. Have fun. Be spontaneous, more playful and more in the moment. Honor, protect and nurture your relationships. Balance your work and play. Splish […]
Recently, someone asked me, “What’s going on?” They meant what’s going on in the world from a big viewfinder perspective. How do we explain the chaos and the craziness that keeps so many of us awake at nights and vibrating with disbelief and fury? As promised to the person who asked the question, here is […]
My vision became a central issue of my life in early December when I experienced a bothersome and what I thought was a relatively minor vision problem. This problem was compounded the day after Christmas when I lost the vision in my right eye. There were three visits to the retina specialist over six days. […]
This is totally yummy and inspiring. Happy Solstice as we surrender to the “Holy Darkness.” “Beloved Friends and Family, Welcome to winter. ❄️ Wherever you may dwell, I invite you to join me in letting down into the arms of the holy darkness.

Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things break. And all things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you. […]
Mother Earth is home of the universal push/pull of life and death, creation and destruction. We see these polarities reflected in abundance vs. poverty, greed vs. hunger, abuse vs. respect, birth vs. death, sacred vs. profane, soulful vs. soul loss, and in all conflicts, fights, and struggles.

Oh my God, are you exhausted? I am psychically numb, worn out and, equally, outraged, infuriated and heartbroken with the tone and tenor of our country. History tells us that there have been dark times like this before. The earth continued on its axis and, as a result, we evolved in consciousness and compassion. That […]
Today is World Peace Day. Clearly, we need peace and understanding more than ever before. We live in a world capsized by dueling polarities and extreme, unbending positions. Let’s take a moment today to consider how our peaceful actions and ways can reverberate out, like a stone tossed into a pond, and gently shift the […]
