Need to get in touch? I'm just a message away.
I have kept a file for some time of quotes that speak to me but which are too long to share on Twitter. Sometimes I share these quotes on Facebook and sometimes I use them to stimulate a posting to Secrets to Peace. It is my intention to start sharing, via Secrets more often. This… Continue reading I AM a Follower of Jesus
I don’t know why it is that making commitments can bring up so much resistance in my life, but I have watched it happen so many times it is nearly frightening. A couple of weeks ago I stated that my intention was to write every week day, even if some days the writing was very… Continue reading On Commitment, Being Awake, and Fulfilling my Purpose
A couple days ago I promised to explain how I have forgiven, effectively, and how that choice has brought me rich rewards. I stated that choosing forgiveness has had a powerful impact on my life. While I credit meditation as being the most profound action I have ever taken, forgiveness ranks a close second. I… Continue reading Forgiveness Changes Everything and Everyone Forever

What if we could just thoroughly investigate who we are and examine the unique set of gifts and talents we bring to the mix, instead of hoping to… Continue reading Gifts from Family
We Do Have Love, Thank You for Reminding me!

People who love cats, particularly kittens, will likely find the above picture to be beautiful. Those who hate cats may find it challenging to see this little critter in the same light. It is our programming which… Continue reading Love of Beauty is Love of God
