When I inherited a friend’s huge library, I had to make some hard decisions about what to keep. In the limited space I currently occupy, my rule is if something comes in something goes out. Which meant I couldn’t keep all the currently owned books if I kept all the inherited ones. What I could…

PERCEPTION
One of my memories of Peggy is a slightly chubby high school girl with shiny, long red hair. When called upon in class, she answered questions with wide eyes and a quiet, faltering voice. Though incredibly smart, she seemed unsure of her place in the world. She wore sweaters over her clothes to hide the…
A Sense of Wonder
Hello faithful reader. Living in the same place for many years, made me complacent, comfortable, and even jaded. In the space where life and routine got upended, I tended to complain. why is my first reaction wanting to return to the way things were? “Missing the old ways” seems to be a common theme among…
Elevate your VIBE!
I’ve been studying a chart from a friend of mine which attributed vibrational frequency (VF) numbers to states of being. The higher a person’s VF number, the higher their state of being. The timing was perfect. I’d just had a dream where Yeshua asked me, “What good thing are you thinking about?” He wasn’t asking…
A Month of Sundays: Book Review
I went to see a friend recently and we talked about a new book that just came out, A Month of Sundays: Elevating Self-Care to Soul Care, by Davia William Stevenson, a clinical counselor. She explains how each of these topics affects our self and soul care. Under five section headings, Physical, Mental, Relational, Emotional…

Elle and Rose were neighbors in the same apartment complex of nearly 300 dwellings. Management announced that every resident would be going through a mandatory renovation that would take one, possibly two days per unit. Both women were initially upset because of the inconvenience of having to pack up their belongings. However, rather than having…
The Mitzvah Season
Surrounding various dates on the calendar are opportunities to perform random acts of kindness. In some cultures these are mandates to be kind to others, look out for the widow and the orphan and those less fortunate. What sorts of things fulfill this mitzvah? November reminds me of my days as a single mom with…
Getting here from there
Most of us have found ourselves working next to someone that really grates on every single nerve. I’d love to tell you how I rose above it. I’m ashamed to say, I can be as petty as the next person. I’ve failed miserably, which is why I’m sharing this with you. I had been in…
What could change your life?
An author friend sent me a sheet titled, “What if a question could change your life?” She has not been a fan of beginning of the year resolutions, nor have I. The biggest reason being they seem to have little sticking power. My friend went on to share the idea of setting an intention is…
What’s in your reading pile?
We’re just on the edge of summer and I’m curious… have you read any good books lately? What did you like about the last book you read? As one who writes books for a living, I’d like to share some interesting books I’ve found. I’m currently reading The Hopi Survival Kit, What Your Dreams Are…
Staying on track
Many of us already know that resolutions rarely have the sticking power in and of themselves to carry us through twelve months. Like me, you may have stopped making them. Halfway to spring is the perfect time to renew our intentions! This year, a new friend sent me a page about setting intentions. A series…
