What Dealing With Covid Has Taught Me

As I look back upon my life, I can not remember an illness as frustrating as COVID-19. I come from a generation who endured the mumps, measles, chickenpox and missed the old smallpox epidemic. The diseases of the past were irritating, except for some of the more life-threatening diseases. I feel very blessed to haveContinue reading “What Dealing With Covid Has Taught Me”

Do You Live in a Vacuum With Your Words and Actions?

Quite a few times I have talked about how thoughts and words have power to create our lives. The symbolism for this is in the bible when God spoke the world into existence. Before there were words from God, there were thoughts from God. God is spirit, pure consciousness, has personality and presence. Our thoughtsContinue reading “Do You Live in a Vacuum With Your Words and Actions?”

All Things in Life Have Flux and Flexibility

One amazing thing about life and our universe is its flexibility. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, “All is flux, nothing stays still.” Life flexibility works by learning to be bendable like the palm tree. The great palm will take gale-force winds and yet will only bend but not break. This is the type of flexibilityContinue reading “All Things in Life Have Flux and Flexibility”

All Life Belongs to the Light of God

I believe there is a place inside of us that reflects what God meant to be there. It is a heavenly place, created by Light, and in the image of divinity. We might not always act like we are God’s creation, but we are. Sometimes things are buried deep inside of us, so deep theContinue reading “All Life Belongs to the Light of God”

When Something Leaves Your Life…

It’s easy to get disappointed when something we wanted, or a relationship we really wanted, leaves our life. Don’t be disenchanted. It’s only a moment to pause in the creative process. It’s a pause to reflect, redirect, and reassess. We all go through moments of disappointment. This is normal. After this happens, pick yourself upContinue reading “When Something Leaves Your Life…”

Compassionate Listening

The silence of the morning hours are the most precious moments I spend. It’s the time when I pray and meditate with God to connect with the pulse of creation and wisdom. In that silence this morning the message I heard was how powerful a person is while being a compassionate listener. To truly hearContinue reading “Compassionate Listening”

YOU Are Not a Lemon. Don’t Allow Anyone to Squeeze the Life Out of You!

Lemons are amazing fruits. Detoxing daily with them can bring very good results for your body. Just some warm water or tea with fresh squeezed lemon can help your digestion, aid in preventing kidney stones and even help lose weight. I watched myself squeeze a lemon into a glass of warm water one day andContinue reading “YOU Are Not a Lemon. Don’t Allow Anyone to Squeeze the Life Out of You!”

Choices We Make That Empower Us

I entitled this blog post the way it is because I was thinking about choices this morning. My meditative practice was harder than usual because I had so many things swirling around in my brain. As it settled, some interesting thoughts came to me. Even though I don’t believe anyone should live in the past,Continue reading “Choices We Make That Empower Us”

Characteristics of Love: Love Does Not Envy

Envy is an interesting thing. It’s more than jealousy. It wants what someone else has, is or does. Sometimes envy even wants to live the life of another. It can truly go too far, and it happens. In Buddhist tradition, all suffering or discontentment comes from wanting what we can’t have. I think it alsoContinue reading “Characteristics of Love: Love Does Not Envy”
