Wisdom in everyday life

truth

  • 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

  • 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

  • you’ll get what you need

      Whenever I have to explain complex spiritual concepts I find nature is the best teacher, it’s all right there to be seen and by everyone. When I watch the sun going up or down it to me is a prime example of the light of enlightenment. We see that the sky is blue, our Read more

  • when in doubt look for the sun

    I have not felt well this last few days and there is nothing like feeling unwell to skew your world view when you let your emotions run like wild horses through your head and mind. I have like my last blog talks of been manipulated and mighty disappointed so God put me on my back Read more
