Lately I have felt as if I am living in the perpetual question: What….?  I even considered giving up the word, but found that was more difficult than it sounds.  It’s not the question, it’s where the answer comes from.  Do I ask What and then just give the first answer that pops into my…

I woke up this morning fully aware that in a little over a week I will be speaking at the International New Thought Alliance (INTA)  Conference in Scottsdale, and I have not started working on my talk. I chose the title, 3 Sisters; Purpose, Passion, and Prayer,  several months ago when I was first asked to speak.…

I love how life is constantly unfolding and as we allow Grace to move through our lives, we can experience a life that is better than anything we could create by ourselves. A couple of weeks ago, I was using the ocean as a metaphor, and the metaphor has continued to stay with me, and…

For some time now, I have had what I refer to as a minor obsession.  I have been fascinated by the Marys in the Bible, especially Mary Magdalene.  She would just keep showing up in different books I would pick up or someone would give me something that was representative of one of the Marys.…

It is common in spiritual circles to hear about how powerful it is to live from an open heart.  I know for many years I have interpreted this to mean that I am to open my heart to everyone else.  The Truth is, we cannot open our heart to someone else until we are willing…

Jane Simmons’ new book, You Can’t Sleep Through Your AWAKENING.  So for this past week, I have set three intentions to experience appreciation during the day. During my morning sacred time, I center myself in my heart…

We all have moments of starting a new.  These moments happen when we move, or children leave home, or we have a change in our job or lifestyle.  Walking through the big changes of leaving a ministry that I have loved so dearly has brought forth old questions that are beckoning to be answered in…

Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.  WHOA!  Does that conjure up old stories?   “You better be good, you better not shout, you better not cry, I’m telling you why…..?”  And it’s not good. Let’s take a moment and look at a deeper meaning for ‘repent the kingdom of heaven is at hand’.  To repent…

This classic line fell into my mind this morning: ‘A funny thing happened’ on my way out the door. Leaving a place and a people who have meant so much to me for so many years has proven to be more of a life changing experience than I anticipated. My emotions continue to resemble the…
