Wisdom in everyday life

  • pressing on

    Each day comes with its difficulties and we have the choice to press on. There was a time when pressing on wasn’t a statement but a battle cry, Nothing can hold me back, I am pressing on no matter what! I get tired of the ever popular “stay positive” phrase. At times there seems very… Read more

  • These are tumultuous times! Problems with the environment natural disasters and the personal life of most of us is being thrown into the air. Its time to change people or like the hard wood you will be snapped. Its time to be like the bamboo, bendable, changeable, adaptable, surely you feel this. The old ways… Read more

  • See them as children

    It doesn’t take long to get disappointed with humanity. Turn on the news, read a paper, horror, after a while there is for me a decided need to separate self from “them”. I am not like “them”. I walk through the streets of Santa Monica and I see all manner of life and life forms,… Read more

  • the art of sacrifice

    I have been trying to understand the difficulties of my life in a different way, through a different lens. Frankly if I don’t do something my head is going to blow off. I’ve had enough. Every time I turn around lately something is going on that threatens to derail my peace, over and over again,… Read more

  • the spirituality of life

    It has been a difficult start for 2016 that I have spent most of it in bed. I even went to Minnesota to visit my daughter after I thought I felt stronger and ended up with the flu. My granddaughter and I were getting re-acquainted as we both struggled with pain, what a bonding experience… Read more

  • Being real

    As a woman with a mouth, meaning I say it like it is and I am not into sugaring coating things for the masses, if you don’t get it or like it, move on! The problem is trying to be a part of spiritual communities that pander to their community rather than teach, because 1)… Read more

  • Whose voice is that?

    Most of us would venture to say we are in control of our lives but truth be told everyone is held hostage by the voice in their head. Unknowing to them they are lead around like a dog on a leash to feel certain things when certain things are said, to react a certain way… Read more

  • Lift your head

    I see a lot of drop necks now, people staring at their device rather than heads up, eyes forward. Most young people will tell you looking down at their device rarely causes them to run into things, of course statistical odds haven’t caught up with most of them, yet. They don’t quite get what the… Read more

  • Ready for growth

    It is a tendency of the human to remain stuck in behaviors, endless cycles of why is this happening to me? Without the awareness that doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. We can say happy new year but do you know many who made it a new year,… Read more

  • It’s a new year

    As per requested, I guess, how else do you explain it, I spent the first 10 days of the year on my back, over the toilet, on my knees, praying for death. God has an exceptionally good sense of humor and a high tolerance for my screaming into the universe, no matter what “they say”… Read more
