Well sadly, we are at the end of Black History Month 2020; I hope this month has been as informative and celebratory for you as it has for me; between books and articles I’ve read, news documentaries I’ve seen, I’ve learned a LOT about different historical African-American figures both known AND unknown to me before the month began! But fear not, we’re gonna blow out the last weekend like no other! Granted, I missed last…

It is only when we actively seek to work through our issues that we can lighten the load and our souls can evolve.…
Your thoughts and actions are like stones dropped into still waters causing ripples to spread as they move outward. From an email I received: In a world of six billion people, it’s easy to believe that the only way to initiate profound transformation is to take extreme action. Each of us, however, carries within us the capacity to change the world in small ways for better or worse. Everything we do and think affects the…
Traveling can be hard on sensitive souls; routine and a few favorite items can make your journey easier. From an email I received: The journeys we take are often as exhausting as they are exhilarating. The thrill we feel as we travel to a new environment may be undercut by our sensitivity to change, strange surroundings, and forced shifts in our usual habits. Air, road, and sea travel can be extremely taxing, and many people…
Maybe you are using a desire you can’t fulfill to distract you from truly engaging the blessings you already have. When it comes to the things we want, there always seems to be an endless list. No matter how many times we get something off that list, we add new things to replace it. In life, this drama of wanting and getting and wanting is all part of the dance. The things we want motivate…

All the situations in our lives, from the insignificant to the major, teach us exactly what we need to be learning. From an email I received………………. Many of us long to find a spiritual teacher or guru.

A deep feeling of gratitude can emerge, as we open to the experience of being helped. From an email I received…………… Most of us pride ourselves on our self-sufficiency. We like to be responsible for taking care of ourselves and pulling our own weight in the world. This is why it can be so challenging when we find ourselves in a situation in which we have to rely on someone else. This can happen as…
Color has the ability to trigger our emotions, affect the way we think and act, and influence our attitudes. From an email I received………… When we enter a room or see an object for the first time, our minds register its color before any other detail. The colors our eyes can perceive are like words that form a subtle language of mood, energy, and insight. Color can exert a gentle effect on the mind and…
