I just returned yesterday from the family fun cruise with Circles of Light Ministries, where I made a startling discovery: AS BIG AS I THOUGHT I WAS LIVING, MY LIFE IS WAY TOO SMALL.

I love that swishing, sweeping sound that happens when I walk through a pile of fallen leaves. It’s fall on the Eastern seaboard of the U.S. as I write this, and today I went swishing through the leaves in the park… the ones that had fallen from their high places and now were making a [ Read More ]
I recently underwent Heart Opening Surgery. Before I tell you about that experience, a little background is in order. From the age of 4 until I was about 30, I was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The ego is tricky. What’s ego? That aspect within the human psyche that edges God out. It’s the aspect of self that’s married to the physical world of effects and receives all its information from the 5 senses. We can either choose to be in the God space, which is all-love, all-joy, all-abundance and all-good [ Read More ]
There are things I say to myself often to tame the inner ramblings that try to keep me off purpose. At any given time, there could be an array of internal voices, some helpful, some not so much, some downright destructive or inhibiting.

Ever since I first heard the concept, I’ve been fascinated with Kaizen. What It Means Kaizen is a Japanese principle for creating change. Kai in Japanese means “change” or “to correct” and Zen means “good”. So Kaizen is a way of creating continuous good change, in personal life and in organizations. How Kaizen Has Been Applied It’s been used [ Read More ]
I am a huge fan of Bikram Yoga, probably because it’s been one of the most mind-bending, body-bending, breath changing things I’ve done with myself. The studio where I currently practice is the Takoma Park Bikram Yoga studio, owned by Stephen Pleasant (isn’t that a great name?) It’s done in a yoga studio that’s been [ Read More ]
This morning, while journaling, a new process came to me that I knew I had to post here. It was originally called the Turn-Around, but the more I thought about it, I realized that this process is really a step-up, so I’ve re-dubbed it to The STEP-UP. It’s a 15-20 second process that consists of [ Read More ]

This morning I had a revelation: guilt is totally unnecessary. This, in spite of the fact that everyone I know has some measure of guilt about something. It’s completely unnecessary.
