Granzie, my grandmother who passed away last year, was in my dream last night. I was sitting with Mum, and Mum was talking about her calendar planning system. I was raving at how organized she is. Then I became aware that Granzie was sitting across the table, and I invited her into the conversation. HerContinue reading “Stop Trying So Hard”

Humanity
1/04/2021 The advantage that humans have over robots is that we are connected to God. Computers and robots can out-compute us, outsmart us, and work without tiring, eating, or having personal problems. Yet humans have the ability for a higher kind of thinking – we can connect to a higher form of energy and thoughtContinue reading “Humanity”
Pain
Pain is not all bad. It can be transmuted into beauty. It’s where you know you are alive, it’s the essence of all life. You become fully present, fully immersed in your being, aware of every sensation, emotional and physical, living in the moment. I feel therefore I am. I felt that on Christmas Day.Continue reading “Pain”
Giving
12/02/2020 I listened to a podcast with Matthew Maconnaughy yesterday talking about his book, Greenlights. He talked about how giving to charity and helping people are truly selfish acts because they make you feel so good. I used to think that too. But now I think selfish is the wrong word to use here. HelpingContinue reading “Giving”
The Apex of the Lion’s Gate Portal
8/8/2020 Ascension is always there ~ as accessible and easy as falling asleep, as dying. It’s another dimension. I saw the portal open above me and it closed as I woke up last night. Be the warrior, not the worrier. Rise into your power, your highest self for the good of all. Step out ofContinue reading “The Apex of the Lion’s Gate Portal”
The Ego
The ego is not all bad. It’s the ribbon that holds us together through the continuum of time and our experiences. Yet it can also hold us back from recognizing our one-ness with others. It gives us a false sense of separation and that can cause anxiety, stress and loneliness. Learning to detach from ourContinue reading “The Ego”
Grief and Arancini
It’s Good Friday and we are 28 days into the quarantine period due to Covid-19. My grandmother, “Granzie” died last week. My heart broke twice; once when she died and again when we learned she tested positive for Coronavirus a few days ago. I hated that she was one of the statistics, those cold, hardContinue reading “Grief and Arancini”
Beneath the Veil
4/23/20 The world has been shut down by an invisible force – a virus too small to be detected by the human eye. Is it possible then that the world could awaken by invisible forces too? How many invisible forces have we discovered and how many are still left to discover? Gravity, radio waves, electromagneticContinue reading “Beneath the Veil”
Sojourn
My parents introduced me to world religions and meditation from an early age. At Boston College, a Jesuit school, I learned more about world religions and earned a BA in Psychology. At 20 years old, my best friend passed away from leukemia. In my deep depression, I found that focusing on compassion for another human,Continue reading “Sojourn”
Rainbow
Most of my spiritual experiences have occurred around birth and death. When I was 20, my best friend died of leukemia. I loved her very deeply. My family and I had Thanksgiving with her family the following year. There was a freak snowstorm that day, and it was pretty scary driving to their coastal MaineContinue reading “Rainbow”
