There’s a problem with pedestals. When someone puts you on one, inevitably you fall off. But it’s the person who puts you there that gets hurt. I remember many years ago when I went to a week-long conference led by one of my favorite spiritual teachers. I had read every one of his books. I […]

This past year or two I’ve watched my children spread their wings and really begin to fly. In a few cases, they are still flapping them around a bit and wondering if they can really handle a long distance flight, if they’ve got the skill, the endurance, the character. But every day they fly just

Have you ever notice that your life has become bland? Colorless? Drab? You just don’t seem to see bright colors? Or you don’t use them? Maybe you haven’t notice… I didn’t realize the colors in my life…indeed, my life…had become “muted” until last week while I was in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, for a

Humans love predictions. Just look at how Americans wait for a groundhog, of all the crazy animals in the world, to predict when spring will arrive. It’s a national holiday. Groundhog Day. Really? In fact, our obsession with predictions really just keeps us from living in the moment and doing what is necessary to create
Our Obsession with Predictions Keeps Us From Living in the Moment Read More »
Lately I’ve been stretched to my max. I have no one to blame but myself. I’ve created numerous deadlines for myself and challenges—opportunities—all within a very short amount of time. Sometimes the stretching doesn’t feel so good. Like a teenager with growth pains, I can feel myself aching from the effort. But I know it’s

I’m a big proponent of setting goals—and reaching them. And we all like to win—to cross that finish line once we’ve put ourselves in a competition, no matter if we compete against ourselves or against others. We want to know we have done our best and achieved that gold medal, which could be anything from

Do you remember that old saying, “Don’t cut off your nose to spite your face?” I’ve been thinking about it lately. Typically we use it when a person does something spiteful to hurt others that also hurts himself. Yet, sometimes we don’t even know we are doing this. I see this happening often when we

About two years ago I was told by a medium that I had many spirit guides around me. She described them as standing behind me so I couldn’t move backward. That explained the feeling I had at the time of being pushed forward continually. In fact, prior to my 50th birthday I felt an urgency

I spent my last evening in Germany having dinner with some of my husband’s colleagues. He’d been to Berlin on business. I’d tagged along to visit my son in Dresden. The conversation turned briefly to the fact that three of us would be flying the next day—December 21, 2012. Someone joked, “I wonder if you’ll

My flight for Newark, NJ, took off almost an hour and 45 minutes late. Or maybe it was on time. The exact moment of flight was 12:12 p.m. EST on 12/12/12. The world did not end. In fact, in that moment I felt everything was beginning anew. And a huge wave of gratitude swept over

“Tis the season of miracles–if you are Jewish. And I am. Last night we lit the first Chanukah candles. As they flickered and shone, I thought about the miracles in my life and how miracles are created. The story of Chanukah is about miracles…large army defeated by a small one, small jug of oil that

Are mistakes possible? We often say, “I made a mistake.” Yet, most Judeo-Christian religions believe God makes no mistakes. If there are no mistakes, can we even define the word “mistake”? What would the definition be? If God makes no mistakes that means your child with a heart defect was not a mistake, hurricane Sandy
