5 Ways to Handle the Holidays with Grace

2010-12-22T12:08:00.001-05:00

The holidays are wrought with multiple stressors. The demand on our time makes us physically vulnerable. Emotionally we are pulled in many, many different directions. We get confused – and our spiritual goals can become challenged making us feel ungrounded and disconnected from our promises to self. If this describes what is happening in your life, you are not alone. No matter what your

Past Lives Can Radically Affect Your Present Life

2010-08-11T10:24:00.000-04:00

This topic is of special interest to me and especially important to my clients – and I wanted to share a few thoughts with you. Your Past Lives have a powerful impact on your well-being.

The Important Differences Between the Human Heart and the Spiritual Heart

2010-07-25T20:27:00.000-04:00

(This blog post is an excerpt from the newly released “Compassion Alive and Meaningful”) The Human Heart The human Heart is conditional. It can be open or closed, Loving or withholding of Love. It can Judge some situations harshly and embrace others. It can Love some people and not others. The human Heart can Love then be subject to dishonesty or betrayal, and in a flash not Love and become

Finding Your Way When There is No Road

2010-07-09T15:00:00.000-04:00

People tell me stories about the choices they have made in their lives, and I am often shocked at the depths they have gone to choose unwisely. It could not be more obvious to me (or to them!) how dire the repercussions have been in regards to their choices. Shockingly, though, even with that knowledge, they continue to make the same, self-destructive choices over and over again. Why do we do

You Can Not Be Other Than Who You Are

2010-06-28T15:51:00.000-04:00

…and do you know how many of us try to be someone, ANYONE other than who we are? Our inability to accept who we are and to believe in our perceived shortcomings, keeps us emulating others and striving to live their life. We believe the ‘grass is greener’ in almost everyone else’s backyard – and that who we are is undesirable. But we can not be anyone other than who we are. The more we try, the

"Compassion is The Answer" - 4/28 TeleClass

2010-04-28T10:58:00.000-04:00

It is through the journey into our human Heart that we find passage into the depths of our spiritual Heart.

It is through our intention to be the most Compassionate person we can be on Earth that the option to express that Compassion in a more global way awakens in our

The Awakening Heart

2010-01-28T19:10:00.001-05:00

The human Heart is called to awaken when challenges are their Darkest – and when Beauty reaches a magnitude of expression that can not be processed. When Tragedy or Beauty occur at a magnitude greater than what seems bearable, the Heart is called to break open to reach out beyond its boundaries. It does this to birth into a new level of possibilities and productivity. The Heart must break open

The Blessings in the House of You

2009-12-24T11:51:00.003-05:00

In the House of You, there lives …wisdom and impulsivity, …compassion and carelessness, …clarity and confusion.

Spiritual Lessons at the Bird Feeder

2009-03-05T18:57:00.002-05:00

I watch the squirrels and birds fight bitterly for food at the feeder. The red and gray squirrels squeal wildly and the little birds scatter. Then five blue jays swoop down and take control of the suet and seed for a few minutes before getting distracted – and the squirrels return to the battleground. There is no camaraderie and absolutely no sharing – not this morning anyway.As human beings, we

The Search for ‘The Meaningful’ Inspires Hope

2009-02-21T20:22:00.004-05:00

When it surfaces, The Meaningful stops us on the path of life.We are stunned by its beauty and relevance,and nothing is ever the same again.The Meaningful eludes us when life becomes too complicated or senseless. Without The Meaningful making an occasional appearance in our lives, we lose our way. We retreat into a frightening disconnected reality where we feel alone, confused and unmotivated.

Part Three: Trust Everything is in Divine OrderOne thing we can all agree upon…These are troubling times. We have discussed how important it is to acknowledge our resistance and to move through it with the intention to be totally non-resistant to What Is. We have looked at how fear can either paralyze us or trigger rash, impulsive action. We have begun to realize the importance of living life

Part Two: Resist NothingA chaotic tornado whips through most of our lives today taking away our sense of comfort and Inner Peace. It is tearing everything away and redistributing and restructuring What Is. Yesterday’s assumptions are being dashed against economic instability and our personal losses.

Cancer: A Spiritual Perspective

2008-10-05T14:07:00.002-04:00

Although I approach all subjects with an analytical, yet spiritual eye, there are occasions when I am called to be more esoteric and do a ‘reading.’ This time the request came from a psychiatric nurse who requested a reading of her gravely ill brother-in-law. Besides suffering from the complications of cancer, he had suffered a heart attack the day before and was placed on a respirator. Here are
