Envision how your life could or would look if you paid more attention to it, rather than to the life of someone else. Might you change careers, go back to school, downsize your home, pick up a hobby that you have always secretly longed to do but for which you felt you had too little [...]
Getting Unstuck is the title of my newest book. It’s a companion to Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow. I loved writing both books. Actually, I’d have to say that all twenty-six books that have “called to me,” I have loved writing. There is no doubt that I am living my bliss. But [...]
A memorial service was held on Sunday for my dear friend, Beverly M. I had been with her almost daily for the remaining weeks of her life, and when I couldn’t pay a visit, I called. Letting go was difficult for her. And me too. She was 82 and had lived life as an adventure. [...]
A beautiful passage in a spiritual book I am committed to reading on a daily basis included these lines a few days ago: To everyone I offer quietness; to everyone I offer peace of mind; to everyone I offer gentleness. I was moved by the wisdom and the Holiness of these words. I am also [...]
Coming to understand and then appreciate the truth of this statement has released me from many hours, even days, of pain and uncertainty. Perhaps I need to clarify this belief I so cherish.

We want a certain person or situation or experience to satisfy us in a specific way, [...]
It has been suggested to me from many sources lately that perhaps I need to say “no” on occasion when asked to speak or be of service in some other way. It’s not that I resist the idea but at the time of any invitation, whether it’s to speak at a meeting, visit with a [...]
There’s really no one explanation why we feel “on top of the world” some days and not others. Today is one of my mediocre days. It started out great. I had breakfast with a friend and her guests who were visiting from Omaha. We had a delightful conversation, very engaging in fact. However, when I [...]
A woman I have not actually met wrote to me recently in regard to one of my posts that dealt with my physical pain. It’s not easy to live with pain of any kind but it does help to talk about it, as I did in that post, and to get feed-back from others who [...]
