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 [...]

When I’m Hard to Love, Love Me Harder

By |2021-06-24T05:07:51-05:00June 24th, 2021|Consciousness, Faith, Love|

How many times have you found yourself interacting with a person you find challenging, and thinking how hard that person is to love? Have you ever wondered if you’ve been hard to love? I know I have been. Sometimes I’m just prickly, aware that I am angry, tired, lonely or confused. Some days I [...]

Don’t Try This Alone

About 600 years before the writers of the Gospels of Mark, Matthew and Luke penned Jesus’ Parable of the Mustard Seed, Buddha told a parable of a mustard seed. It revolves around a woman, Kisa Gotami, who lived during the time of Buddha. Kisa’s only child had died, and unwilling to accept his death, she [...]

Peace Is Like Warm Syrup

It's 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 events, both here at home and abroad. Sometimes peace can seem a little out of reach or maybe for a few folks, even difficult to define. I [...]

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 [...]

Freedom’s just another word for…

Every time a holiday, a repeat special event or ceremony comes around I sometimes think it’s cliché to talk about it - AGAIN. It seems expected, overdone, and frankly I wonder if there is anything else new to offer on the subject or any more gold to be mined. And yet here I sit with [...]

Palm Sunday: Which Procession Are You In?

By |2017-04-08T14:46:17-05:00April 8th, 2017|Christianity, Jesus, Religion, Self Reflection, Transformation|

One of the treasures in my life is the ability to lose myself in a song. Closing my eyes and allowing the words and music to play through me – to stop listening with my ears and listen with my heart. As the music washes over me, my mind relaxes, my breathing slows and I [...]

Love Your Neighbor Like WHAT???

I just can’t take it anymore. I am soooo tired of this crap. And even those words fall short of the level of powerlessness alive in me. Millions of us who, like me, watch with horror, confusion, desperation and helplessness every time there is a mass shooting. This one in San Bernardino less than a [...]

The Advent of Advent

By |2018-02-09T19:26:30-06:00November 29th, 2015|Beginnings, Christianity|

THE SEASON of Advent is about something unknown emerging on the horizon, something we have never seen before. The word “advent” comes from the Latin adventus – to come. There is wondrous and expectant feeling about the very word ‘Advent.’ In the northern hemisphere, Advent takes place during the darkest and coldest time of the [...]

Muppet Theology

By |2018-02-09T19:26:30-06:00April 26th, 2015|Consciousness, God, Greater Reality, Interconnected, Paradox|

Two things I love about the wisdom of the Muppets, First, their philosophy is eternal. It was here long before Jim Henson, and will be here long after the Muppets retire. The second reason I think the Muppets are necessary for life’s learning, is because it reminds me there is hope. Hope for the spiritual realities we yearn for in life, regardless of one’s faith philosophy or tradition.
