Choosing a Side in a Divided World
We are human. When we are presented with a choice, we usually choose a side. The world has given us so many choices over the past 5 or so years. Do we join B L M, or do we speak against it because ALL lives matter? Do we stand with L G B Q, or…

The World Feels Upside Down
There is something unsettling about this record-breaking winter storm. My parents were without utilities for about 10 days. They were fortunate to have a wall heater to keep the front part of their home warm. They slept on the couch and chair for the first few days. Then they brought a bed mattress up front,…

The Real World Sucks
You might know this if you’ve been following my work. Several years ago, I had a deep spiritual experience while I was under anesthesia during my ear surgery . When the nurses were waking me up after the surgery, I mumbled, “No, no. The real world sucks.” I don’t know why I said that, but…

The Hero’s Journey
Is God punishing us? Are we weak, insignificant and powerless? Maybe you want to do the right thing. You want to be patient and kind. You want to love others; only to find yourself pushing others away to keep from being hurt again. You want to understand — why? Why can’t people just live and…

Not Everyone Wants to Play Nice In the Sandbox
I am reminded often of the effects of dealing with people who want to control and manipulate others. The more dangerous ones have mastered their techniques and can fool the most vigilant people who’ve already been affected by this personality type. I feel it’s important to include this message in this blog, because you can…

It could be through irreconcilable differences, distance, or even death. The pain of losing someone or something can feel excruciating. Loss is something we all must face in this lifetime —…
