Advent Week 1: In the Dark While We Wait

By |2022-12-22T14:12:13-06:00November 27th, 2022|Christmas, Featured, Shadow Work|

Advent holds such a sacred space - the story and formation of the womb is tucked into our souls. Advent is most often thought of as an individual journey, even though we may celebrate together. We can think about it all year around, but probably don’t. This year, the invitation is something different, holding it [...]

Pebbles and Gemstones

By |2021-07-23T23:16:32-05:00July 23rd, 2021|Featured, Interconnected, Love, Paradox, Shadow Work|

We are a little bit obsessed in our culture around ideas of worth and value. We spend so much of our time running after something, what we might call the “gems,” or running away from other things, the “pebbles,” in the hopes of having a sense of belonging, feeling worthy and valuable. In our [...]

Depression: A Pilgrimage to New Life Through the Stations of the Cross

By |2021-04-04T09:18:49-05:00April 3rd, 2021|Christianity, Death & Dying, Depression, Shadow Work|

Some of you know I have struggled with severe depression for about 5 years. A by-product of the traumatic illness that landed me in the hospital for a few weeks, on life support and a couple of near death experiences to top it all off. One of the things that can happen in an experience [...]

Darkness In The Light: Depression During the Holidays

By |2018-11-30T08:38:00-06:00November 30th, 2018|Christianity, Consciousness, Depression, Faith, Interconnected, Shadow Work|

It’s official. We have entered the holiday season - even though I saw Christmas decorations at Target this past July… but let’s not go there. The bell has rung, and we are out of the gate - starting on Thanksgiving, running into Black Friday, zipping through Small Business Saturday, leaping over Sunday (there must [...]

How do I ask you to do prison time with me?

By |2018-06-07T17:31:48-05:00May 16th, 2018|Beginnings, Faith, Greater Reality, Interconnected, Shadow Work|

I have a friend that I have known well for about 23 years, she’s also a recovering addict. She has been a sister, friend, sponsee and confidant. I have always maintained that the most challenging people in our lives are our master teachers – I guess you could also say she has been a master [...]

Faith and Pickle Juice – It Is What It Is

I’m sitting in the cancer center, hooked up to an IV for my iron infusion for the next 6 hours, watching worlds go by. I am in a large room full of recliners, IV stands, rolling carts filled with anything your nurse could need - gauze pads in 6 different sizes, 5 varying lengths and [...]

You Breathe In Me

By |2020-05-14T08:47:23-05:00May 9th, 2016|Beginnings, Death & Dying, God, Interconnected, Self Reflection, Shadow Work, Transformation|

How often have you used the phrase, “it took my breath away?” The other day I pulled over to allow an ambulance safe passage. As I listened to the screaming vehicle fast approaching, the sound literally took my breath away. Finally I saw the ambulance come over the hill and the driver barely looked both [...]

When Someone Says “I Love You,” RESPOND

Recently I was gravely ill… I heard my mom use that adjective with someone a few weeks ago when explaining what I had been through. Heavy, burdensome, hard to bear - these are all ways to define the root of the word, and all things I am experiencing. Mostly the “hard to bear” part lately. [...]

My Peace I Leave You

By |2019-08-19T21:18:09-05:00December 12th, 2015|Christianity, Consciousness, God, Interfaith, Jesus, Peace, Self Reflection, Shadow Work|

It's the end of the second week of Advent, the week we focus on Peace, and I am wondering how much peace everyone is feeling or practicing in light of recent events, both here at home and abroad. Sometimes peace can seem a little out of reach or maybe for a few folks, even difficult [...]

The Golden Thread of Suicide

By |2018-02-09T19:26:32-06:00August 11th, 2014|Community, Death & Dying, God, Paradox, Self Reflection, Shadow Work|

A hero has died by his own hand. The news is making its way around the world at lightning speed. As quickly as his last breath left his body, the world grieves this brilliant, troubled and tender-hearted soul. And we grieve as though he was a close family member to each and every person. Suicide brings us [...]
