May the Force Be with You I was a young professional living in San Francisco as the Star Wars phenomena hit the scene.  I had no interest in sci-fi and as hard as it may be to believe, special effects were  not the “thing” at that time.  I was dating a guy who was...

DIVINE FEMININE As May closes as the month we celebrate mothering and the nurturing energy of the Divine Feminine- this week seems to call out for that energy to be with us in greater amounts.  The Divine Feminine is portrayed in every tradition – in every...

Loving Presence  It has been a while since I wrote anything about Love.  Someone remarked once …”oh no, not love again.”  At the time, I kind of laughed.  This week, hearing about the situation in Buffalo New York, I decided that perhaps you can’t write about Love too...

Unmitigated Joy Happiness is a subject object relationship.  We often find ourselves (subject) happy about something (object).  Happy that its spring, happy to see our dog, happy to win the lottery.  On occasion we find ourselves just feeling happy for no reason…but...

Principles of Spirit The skinny limb of last week was about the Power of Prayer or good thoughts or communicating with the Great Spirit of Life.  This week has included realizations for me about the importance of the Principles behind Life that make all of humanity...
