To Love is to be vulnerable I cannot really say, with any accuracy, how many times I have heard someone say, “I am never going to love again!†following some heartbreaking-breakup between this pained lover and some other person. My advice is always the same and it goes something like this: “What is the use… Continue reading To Live is to be Vulnerable
Irish poet and philosopher John O’Donohue had a strong influence on me in the early days of my spiritual journey. When I read or listened to him read his words, I felt them move straight into my heart without bouncing around in my head or my ears. That was not a typical experience for me. Every word I ever read from… Continue reading Set a Positive Intention for Each New Day
Starting today, July 1st, I am prepared to recommit to sharing my writing each weekday. As I have written in the past, it feels like a piece of me is missing when I do not share my thoughts, even if no one opens my emails, even is no one visits the blog.

There were a couple of quotes, which inspired me, in the movie but I had not taken any notes, so I went to the director’s website to search for them. Instead of finding the exact ideas I was seeking I… Continue reading I Wish For You …
It seems that at least once a year there is a new book touting the idea that you can find work which you will find fulfilling by doing that which you love. The challenge, that most of us seem to find, is that it is difficult to decide what it is we love. Or, in… Continue reading Find the Work you Love
In Love Without Conditions, Reflections of the Christ Mind, Paul Ferrini asks: “Can you imagine a world in which each person understood that his only responsibility was to give and receive love?†Well, can you? The plain and simple Truth is this: Our ONLY responsibility in life is to be the LOVE that we are.… Continue reading Imagine Your Return to TRUTH
Until we know God we will always be hungry. The type of knowing I am speaking of is Gnosis. It is a knowledge which is felt and understood by the heart and soul, not by the head. The brain, the source of our human mind, will recognize that something, unnamed, is missing and will seek… Continue reading Life’s Greatest Mystery
