To understand how to find freedom through forgiveness, you will want to attend a special course on Forgiveness hosted by Rev. Dr. Michelle Wadleigh of the Planned Happiness Institute (PHI). For the last few years, I have known and worked with Rev. Michelle (current minister of CSL North Jersey). I started by taking her class, No Mud … More Freedom through Forgiveness
Society has become such a fast-paced lifestyle that most of us don’t spend enough time in mirror work to see how we really show up in the world. I am reading a book (and involved with a book study) called The Four Pivots by Shawn A. Ginwright, PhD. I just started reading it, but I … More Mirror Work
I grew up thinking I was born a sinner. I was taught this by the church I belonged to, who told me I was born in original sin. Later in life, I rejected this teaching because I genuinely believed I was born out of love! So many people are taught similar beliefs about being a … More Born Out of Love
Earlier this week, I joined a newly formed Women’s group to discuss purpose and passion. Each person had a different perspective, but most admitted that they weren’t sure what their purpose was.

A couple of days ago, at about 4:30, our power went out. Living in a rural area, this is not uncommon. But yesterday was different. We live just outside … More Every Day is a Gift
SPOILER ALERT: SELF CONFESSION FOLLOWING. Sometimes, I forget who I am in Spirit. Unfortunately, this is what happened recently. The worst part was I forgot about looking inside myself for answers and directions. And this is not the first time I have drifted into trouble. I wrote an article titled Remember Who We Are a … More Looking Inside
We are approaching the anniversary date of the wildfire that took our home and belongings. I get a bit nostalgic and even triggered this time of the year — especially after hearing about the horrendous fires in Hawaii. How did we make it through that challenging time in our lives? By maintaining a state of … More Maintain a State of Glorious Gratitude
The ‘American Dream’ of owning stuff does not give real purpose to our lives. Finding your purpose and passion typically produces greater inner joy than owning stuff. I remember, back in the 80s, when I worked with foster kids, how this applied. I was called into a meeting between a teenager, her father, stepmom, and … More Finding Your Purpose and Passion
