Thomas Keating has been in my awareness in a big way this week. Yesterday morning (Friday, October 26, 2018), I learned of his passing (on Thursday evening) from several members of our community. I have been sitting and remembering and resonating with Thomas, on an even deeper level since then. Remembering my time with him. […]
Today is an especially meaningful anniversary in my spiritual journey. It’s the 7th anniversary of when I first completely surrendered to the Divine. June 30th, 2011 — the day when everything changed. I’ve been thinking about this all week leading up to today — and there are three major themes to the last seven years […]
I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting over the last week. This is the first year I haven’t done the 4 Days of Healing event – either at the end of the year or at the beginning of the New Year. It’s given me time to be with myself at the close of the year […]

So many thoughts and emotions run through me. I struggle to remember that all human behavior is directly motivated by […]
It’s been a while since I checked in with you and wrote to you from my heart. I’ve been listening (to God) and integrating, and listening and integrating and … On this day, I am reminding myself of these facts: Spiritual truths are simple. … yet the mind wants to complicate. Life is simple. … […]
Do you take the long view on the spiritual journey? When I first began working with people in my private practice I was excited to find people with whom I could explore my spiritual gifts. I was curious if and how my gifts might impact someone else’s experience of their life. Would there be an […]
A couple of days ago I got a text from a good friend with a simple, but powerful message that energized me. Before I received the text I thought I was in the groove – focused on what’s important and totally connected to my mission. After I got the text it was like someone topped […]
