Every person is a potential learning partner. . .

I had an opportunity to meet some one I took an instant dislike to at a friend’s home recently. Every thing about the man got under my skin. He was loud; he didn’t listen to others when they spoke; he seemed particularly dismissive of women; he was very jud[...]

Let’s have gratitude for all our encounters. . .

It’s not easy to be grateful for some of the people we encounter on our journey, at least not initially. I very recently experienced this lack of gratitude. Even after years of being on this spiritual path, believing in all the principles I share with others, and[...]

Our journeys are holy. . .

Everyone we meet is on a holy journey, just like the one we are traveling. Embracing this idea changes every encounter we experience, if we let it! I know. It has happened in my life. This is a huge idea, and one that, if you believe it, can change every ot[...]

Fostering new behaviors. . .

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[...]

Getting Unstuck isn’t so easy to do . . .

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 t[...]

Saying goodbye to a friend . . .

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[...]

To everyone . . .

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[...]

We have only two emotions: love and fear. . .

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. I think that every action and every thought that's harbored by any one[...]

Time slips away. . .

It's been two weeks since my last post. That surprises me. It's my intention to write weekly and then I lose track of time. It's for sure that my life is busy but I don't consider any thing more important than staying in contact with friends and supporters wh[...]

Expectations lead us astray . . . and away from God.

Expectations are seductive. They can feel exciting. Consuming. Addictive. And like every other addiction known to humankind, the outcome can be disappointing, oftentimes to the point of personal destruction. Our expectations ensnare us because of our inse[...]
