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. This is cave time. The time of inward-turning, mystery-embracing, pregnant-hiddenness. Every […]
We have choice — always. It’s one of our greatest powers. What we choose defines our lives. We have choice in how we respond, in how we react, in how we approach what’s before us, in how we focus our attention, in how we honor ourselves and how we expend energies in this heart-pumping, neuron-firing, […]
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. […]

All of these tugs-of-war are representative of the […]
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 […]
Monday, September 10, 2018 is World Suicide Prevention Day, where we focus our attention and energies on the rampant global epidemic of suicide and consider ways to end this pernicious, deep sorrow. From my research, I would say everyone has been impacted by suicide. Be it their own abstract thoughts, a school rocked with grief […]
Life is ever-changing, especially in these accelerated and, frequently, turbulent times. Go gently, dear ones. We are all in process, one step at a time. There are a number of nodal points in each of our lives, when the struggle of the chrysalis breaks open to freedom and flight. We soar, we fly, we see […]
