  • Hit the delete button and free your mind!

    I have been thinking about the delete button on my computer. I can hit the delete button and everything disappears, way cool. I think we need a delete button in our heads, yes we do! Some people hold on to antiquated beliefs like a dog to a bone when what they need is a delete… Read more

  • Mental illness and family

    My son is bipolar, tough words to write because of the looming negative stereo type of responses I have received over the years. He is not only bipolar he also suffers from PTSD, which makes all things worse. Before he was diagnosed life was a nightmare of “why are you acting this way?” He would… Read more

  • Pause

    To me the pause button is the most important function on the remote. I just need the movie or music to stop for a bit. I don’t need to start over. I don’t want to stop because restarting means trying to find where I was when I stopped. All I want is to pause mostly… Read more

  • Gettin my cry on!

    I have been extra sad lately. Animal rescue videos are making me cry my eyes out, returning vet videos especially the ones with kids, crying, sobbing, Oh my God what is going on! So much sadness makes walking amongst the people extra hard as my eyes get red and I can’t see, I keep my… Read more

  • Gifts, ask and ye shall receive

    I went walking by the beach this morning allowing the water to wash away my stress. I have loved walking by the ocean since I was young and being here in Santa Monica is such a great gift me. I love the Ocean. The beach itself is mostly devoid of shells and is smooth for… Read more

  • Growth and movement

    Ahhhh, the groaning. We cannot grow without strain. We cannot grow without movement. Oh how we groan through the whole thing. Do you think we will ever get that life is about the journey. Surly we get that the grave is calling for us all eventually. Why all the groaning! Let’s jump in the ocean… Read more

  • Friend or Foe

    In the world of social-climbing one has to be aware of the frenemy, a person who poses as a friend but who is actually a foe. It does not occur to some of us to monitor our ‘friends’ for envious behavior because after all they are our friends. We have been in the trenches of… Read more

  • the cruelty of humanity

    It’s hard to imagine the mind of a human who sees no value in another human. When a person or set of people actually believe they are better than anyone else. How does that even happen? My mind is blown over the audacity of the man who kidnapped the girls from their school. I cannot… Read more

  • learn to question everything, make your truth yours

    As part of a spiritual community and a teacher I am either asking questions or answering them. I have a drive to know and I am not so interested in what you know if you have the mentality that what you know is the truth. How do you know its the truth? We have all… Read more

  • Are you listening?

    Life is filled with teaching moments. As a matter of fact that is predominantly what is going on here at the great school called Earth. Each moment is another moment to get it right, that is when we are tired of being wrong. A person who continues to be blasted with bad luck and plays… Read more
