I believe in One God, One Power, One Energy, One Love, expressing Itself equally in, through and as all sentient beings. I believe the same God that lives, moves and has Its being in me is the same God that lives, moves and has Its being in all sentient beings, and I affirm we are…
Feelings may not be facts but they sure can drive prayer to manifestation. When I pray without feeling, my words are dry and empty. It is like planting seeds but not watering them. Feelings drive my thoughts and words into the universe. The greater my passion, the greater my demonstration. You can have a Bentley…
I have forever been looking “out there” for what was within me the entire time. Until this morning I believed I was completely and fully past the brainwashing my mother did to me about not being a writer. I thought I “won” because I am writing and actually letting people read it. I have been…
One of the great challenges in life for me has always been about finding the balance between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law and learning to dance between them. Sometimes being right can be wrong which has long been the albatross around my neck -perhaps for my entire life. My…

My entire life I have been a compulsive “learner” with an insatiable quest for knowledge. What has changed for me through the years is the “why” of it all. Learning for me has evolved from head smart to heart smart. As a young girl, and for most of my life, I believed if I knew…
What is mine to do to make a better world? That is a question I have asked every day for the past 10 years, or so. For the first 27 years of my life I was a taker and I used and abused everyone who crossed my path and I ended up sleeping on park…
