No Worry
Friday, March 13th, 2009On this second “Friday the 13th” of the year — there are three in 2009, the most possible in one year — I’m reminded how much “worrying” is going on these days! Then that lead me to remember a greeting card received years ago that I posted above my desk in easy eye view. It said: [...]
Full Moon Blessing
Sunday, January 11th, 2009There have been lots of miracles and challenges in the beginning stages of living in the mountains. For instance, one challenge has been that the abundant and needed rains have washed away most of my new road! But as I told my brothers in Alabama about walking up and down the very steep road and driveway: [...]
WITHOUT LIMITS
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008[Inspired by the recent Olympics in China, I was reading some "memoirs" from my life changing spiritual journey there several years ago.

Resting the eyes is one way to have a quick and relaxing “refreshment of ease.” By closing out the visual [...]
HOW DO I RELAX?
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008I recently participated in one of those giant bridal extravaganzas where dozens of vendors displayed their wares and services to several thousand assorted visitors: future brides with various support teams in tow. The fancy hotel ballrooms were bustling with brides-to-be of all shapes, sizes, and expectations (with upcoming weddings in a couple of months to [...]
Love Is Breathing Into the Heart
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008I’ve worked with thousands of brides through the years and I’m aware that planning a wedding can put brides-to-be in the middle of an emotional journey — a rite-of-passage of inner growth and discovery that can get a bit bumpy at times. But what phase of your life is not an emotional journey? More and [...]
