I am not sure how well this article will unfold since I am dealing with the death of my mother. She passed away early Friday, October 18. Needless to say, this is not easy to experience, talk about, or write about. As I work through this, my mind is scattered, and I forget what I … More Dealing with Death
I have been self-employed for years. Because of that, I frequently search for more ways to expand my business — in an intelligent manner. Sometimes, those ideas are right in front of my nose, but I don’t see them. First, some back story. I was in my early 40s when my husband (or husband-to-be, as … More Right in Front of My Nose
I’ve been involved in many discussions about our purpose in life. Everyone’s purpose is different, of course, but I believe our primary purpose is caring for each other.

Even after all these years, a Bible verse will pop into my head seemingly out of nowhere. Lately, the verse I hear is loosely translated: Where two or more gather in my name, I am … More Where Two or More Gather
Last week, I shared about Living in Peace. This week, I am dedicating this article to Conquering Confusion. I don’t know if you feel it, but sometimes I feel like I am living in the funnel of a tornado! The world seems to be in flux, and with all that is going on, it is … More Conquering Confusion
September’s Science of Mind theme is peace. I often think and pray about living in peace, even though it can be challenging to stay peaceful with so much going on in the world and our country. When I reflect on peace, I think about the saying that has been hanging on my wall since I … More Living in Peace
I took the title of this week’s article from an August Science of Mind Magazine daily post: Everything is Connected by Eugene Holden, RScP. Many of the Daily Guides in the Science of Mind Magazine speak to me, but this one caught my attention on a deeper level. I often ponder connection: What does it … More Everything is Connected
