Helping others is how we help ourselves. . .

There is no truer suggestion offered to us in recovery rooms than the above. I didn't get it when I came into the fellowship in 1974. I didn't understand why other women reached out to me. I didn't understand that "to keep what one had, it had to be given awa[...]

Every loving thought is true, every thing else is an appeal for healing and help. . .

A Course in Miracles is a spiritual path that is very dear to my heart. I have been a "student" for 25 years and I embrace its spiritual principles as closely as I embrace the principles of AA and Al-Anon. In fact, I think the three programs blend very well. [...]

Inner peace is a by-product of right thinking coupled with right actions. . .

I wish I could say to you that I have constant inner peace. But that would be a lie. I can say, however, that I am more at peace today than at any other time in my life. And it's the direct result of changing my thinking. I wrote a book a few years back tit[...]

Loving what we do is the first, best step. . .

I've discussed topics similar to this before in blog posts, but something a friend said to me recently brought it to mind once again. I could never have imagined as a child that I'd spend my life as I do. I loved writing stories as a young girl in grade school[...]

Picking up where I left off. . .

I'm amazed and a bit chagrined that I have been away from my blog for three weeks. It's the longest I have been away since beginning it in 2009. And actually, I didn't go any place. I was simply caught up in the book I am writing and a writer strikes while th[...]

Reconnecting with good friends . . .

I spent the week end in Augusta, MO, leading my 12th annual writer's retreat at F.R.E.S.H. Renewal. Many of the same individuals come yearly, but always there are a few new participants and they add a richness that's so appreciated, much like a contrasting, vivid[...]

Growing old with dignity. . .

I just returned from my 55th high school reunion in Lafayette, IN. As I write this, I am amazed that five and a half decades have passed since nearly 350 of us walked across the Jefferson High School Auditorium stage to get our diplomas. I am even more amazed a[...]

Tune in whenever: http://www.entheos.com/academy/courses/Getting-Unstuck

I invite each of you to enroll in my on-line course. Tell your friends about it too. I mentioned it on Facebook, tweeted it, and in an earlier post, but decided it was good to mention it again because there is no "too late to enroll" when it comes to this kin[...]

Wherever we go, there we are. . .

I first heard this little homily at a workshop in Minneapolis, presented by Earnie Larson, a former priest, author for Hazelden Publishing, and renowned lecturer. He was a gifted man who's simple message turned life around for tens of thousands of people. Perh[...]
