“Are we there, yet?” is a common refrain made to parents by excited kids, impatient to reach their destination. We are all spiritual children making our way back Home to our divine state of Oneness. As the outer world shows increasing signs of the breakdown of the...

I am currently binge reading and listening to novels by British comedian, playwright and author, Ben Elton. I have been a fan of Elton since I first saw an episode of the Blackadder television program with some British friends when we were celebrating Fourth-of-July...

Are you feeling undecided about something in your life? In the current U.S. election cycle, much has been made of the “undecided” voter. Some may truly be undecided as they weigh the options while some may have made their decision but still haven’t fully accepted...

“How does your light shine in the halls of Shambala?” My favorite self-indulgent TV show to watch at the moment is NCIS: Hawaii. I love the vistas and I have found the plot lines and characters engaging in a light, easy and relaxing way. CBS canceled the show after...

True, lasting change can only ever come through love. Love from within. We sometimes forget this when we are triggered by something in the outer world we perceive as wrong or unfair. In our anger or fear, we may have the impulse to try to fix it or get what we believe...

I love when I find wisdom in song lyrics. Recently I was putting together a playlist for the ecstatic dance group – Wild Embodiment Dance (WE Dance). One of the songs that really spoke to me is “Unwritten” by Natasha Bedingfield. Not only is the music uplifting but...

When I first realized I was on a spiritual growth path, I started to listen to inspiring authors on tape. Yes, I typed “tape”. That tells you how long ago it was. I was listening to my good ole cassette player in my first Subaru Outback while driving from Colorado to...
