THE HEART OF WINTER

I think we are all in agreement that the world at-large has changed. Because of these revolutionary changes, much of the world’s political landscape has taken on new meaning.  Has this time in our lives been presented to restore hope, faith and compassion to our planet? The winter solstice that we experienced last month starts us off

FROM ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY

There is a universal truth shared by all who walk this earth: with each passing day, we move one step closer to life’s end. It is hardly surprising, then, that many people—particularly as they grow older—create what is commonly known as a “bucket list,” a collection of goals they hope to accomplish before age or

FAITH, HOPE & CHARITY

I was taken by this photo of a gentleman on the beach. By his posture at the water’s edge, arms extended reaching skyward, I thought, “He is demonstrating Hope”. After all, to hope is what drives our human existence. Hope is a mercurial aspect of our nature, yet it is the spiritual strength that we

A NEW DAWN AWAITS…2026

I read somewhere that the Lunar Year of the Snake, such as we saw in 2025, could be plagued with health issues. That certainly rang true in my world.

HOPE, SWEET HOPE, WE NEED MORE OF IT

UNDYING GRATITUDE

I love that we spend one day of the year in gratitude for all the graces we have realized in this life so far. I am on a campaign to extend that expression to the other 364 days. It is a habit that anyone can form, and an embodiment that we all can easily adopt.

OUR WORLD AT LARGE

Are the global changes towards peace that we are seeing in our collective world God’s love letter to us?  Perhaps, it is.  His letter of instruction to all of us to return our spirits to a place of being teachable. The life-track that the world was on saw wars raging seemingly around every corner of

AN EMAIL TO GOD

Friday, October 17th Dear God, I want You to know, we are down here trying.  Hoping to make the earth You created a better place.  There is still a lot of feuding and fighting going on, with both sides wishing it to stop.  Powerless, they both say – up against the wall. But still, we,

DOESN’T IT FEEL GOOD?

The discord that is driving the temperature of our nation is pushing us all into a negative spiral.  Every morning the news reports yet another catastrophic occurrence.  This makes me yearn for something positive to report.  I am happy to say I have found some ‘feel good’ beautiful stories to tell you that I hope
