Wisdom in everyday life

  • Spirituality and Health

    Over and over we can argue what illness does to hinder or help our walk of life but, it must be said that there is an undeniable link between our thinking minds and our health. Most humans are so thick natured that it takes running into the brick wall before a sliver of self responsibility… Read more

  • The Irony

    Opened my email this morning to a letter requesting donations, I get this a lot due to my once being married to a multi-millionaire. It was funny because the organization doing the asking, was the one that already tried to wrap itself onto my financial house. These were the people ever ready with the sentence… Read more

  • I had the great privilege of spending the bulk of my early adult years in northern Minnesota. And let me say, after 30 some years I do believe these people may just have a cult love for winter. But it’s a true God believing place, because the cold will take the breath from your lungs.… Read more

  • I love to read. Back in the day of work, school and kids, it was the only form of escape I had. With the pressure of real life constantly pushing at me, the moment I picked up my book, I was another person living a different kind of life. The world spectrum was always at… Read more

  • Here’s my declaration. Here is my truth. This is my line in the sand. I have made a mistake. One that is nearly 12 years old now. A continuous mistake that I have been trying to fix, inside myself mostly. It has been a costly mistake, financially yes, but far worse, emotionally. I gave up my… Read more

  • Forgiveness

    I’ve always had a hard time with forgiveness not that forgiveness is hard it just seemed like a get out of jail card. “That’s ok I forgive you”, over and over and nobody learns and you become a doormat of “that’s ok I forgive you”. The course of miracles assigns forgiveness as the only act… Read more

  • That’s right I’m angry

    That’s right I am angry. Oh does that hurt your precious sensibility? Funny how in spiritual circles we are to shun anger. Don’t be angry! Don’t get mad, get glad! Well you know what, I’m angry and I am ready to feel this anger and then tend to it. I figure if Jesus got angry… Read more

  • Awareness in Relationship

    I am having many ah moments reading Paul Selig’s books. It has reignited in me what my last disappointment I thought put out. Part of my search lately is trying to rise above the ceiling I kept running into while looking for truth in the many spiritual systems I have studied. In Churches, yoga studios,… Read more

  • What expectations

    One of the hardest things to admit is the gigantic amount of energy that is expended holding onto expectations. It’s a difficult day of adulting when you learn that your expectations for life may have been a dream and one found only in your head. Similar to the scene in “Little Miss Sunshine” when big brother… Read more

  • Anchor of Hope

    I stopped writing some time ago, why bother? What difference does it make? My life was derailed years ago and I have been swimming like hell to get back to some kind of shore. And I see a lot of people out here swimming the waters of “OH MY GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME” with… Read more
