As much as I tell myself I want to heal my life, I find that I regularly slip into avoidance behavior. It is the home of addiction. It is hell, and even though I “know” that the path to healing it is to face it, it is the great battle of my life. I fritter […]
I frequently repeat lesson 25 from A Course in Miracles: I do not know what anything is for. I recognize that I can only understand the benefit of things in hindsight. Or as Chuck Klosterman says in But What if We’re Wrong, “It’s impossible to understand the world of today until today has become tomorrow.” […]
Sometimes I feel as if I’m almost there. Now, in truth, I recognize that I am already there and what I really mean is that there are moments when I can actually feel it, see it, savor it, enjoy God’s Peace and Love. Lately, I feel like my life is a test. The same old, […]
So, in my Unveiling Your Hidden Power class, as we study Emma Curtis Hopkins, the question of Global Warming came up (I may have been the one who started it!). I think about these things. If I believe is the unlimited power of the Divine (There is no order of difficulty in miracle) then it […]
My life is a testament to faith, yet that hardly means that I am living the life of Riley (does anyone still use that term!). I have had many, many opportunities to be surprised by things magically coming together, but I have also had plenty of doubts and fears and trepidation. This is when I […]

This does not matter.” “You will probably miss several applications, and perhaps […]
Yesterday, a client of mine took me to lunch at a decent restaurant and when my food came, I caught myself criticizing it before I had even eaten a bite. The onions where supposed to be caramelized and since I cook, I know that caramelization takes time and patience. These onions had not been cooked […]
I love how life offers up exactly what it is I am focused on – as if some mastermind sent out a memo to the Universe that said, “She’s working on this now. Send all the stuff you’ve got on _______.” (Today, it is clinging.) Today’s ACIM lesson, I do not perceive my own best […]
As I continue to read The Untethered Soul, I realize that I must power through all the things I want to avoid. I must be daring. I must be willing to step outside my comfort zone. I must be willing to risk looking foolish. I must be willing to risk rejection. I am limited by […]
