We live in a wooded area, halfway up a ridge in central Pennsylvania. It’s a cool place to live, for sure…second-growth forest, mostly oaks and maples with a variety of other species thrown in. Classic Eastern Woodlands. Last December our neighbor decided to have some trees cleared, both to make little money and to […]
Money, Courage, and Taking Risks
April 18, 2012 By 4 Comments
One of my main ways of communicating is through my Facebook page (you’re invited to join me through the link over there on the right). I post whatever occurs to me, usually several times a week. The thoughts I share usually are found helpful by at least a few people. It’s easy to tell which […]
The Conformity of the Non-Conformist
April 14, 2012 By 2 Comments
One of the first things I realized (almost as soon as I had any conscious thoughts at all) was that I wasn’t like everyone else. I remember looking around me as a small child and thinking, “WTF? What is this place?” Or at least the baby equivalent of that. 🙂 Oh, I had a pretty good family. My parents […]
Spiritual Awakening: So what?
April 7, 2012 By 6 Comments
We hear a lot these days about people “waking up”. Waking up to their spirituality…to their potential…to the idea that what we see around us is not all there is to the universe. Often, this change in outlook is born of extreme pain. We’ve tried everything we know of to get our lives on track…like […]
Letting Go of the Pain; Stop Slapping Yourself!
March 22, 2012 By 9 Comments
I recently had a few conversations that provided stark evidence of what happens when we choose to keep ourselves in the “comfort” zone of pain. We can call this choice “subconscious”…but it’s really more properly an un-conscious reaction. It’s conditioning,, and it continues simply because we don’t take the time to examine and become aware […]
Take the Long View to get the Big Picture
October 7, 2011 By 5 Comments
As many of you know, when I first began offering my services I identified myself as a Soul Realignment practitioner…and that was that. And that trademarked modality served me well for quite a while. It gave me a framework upon which to hang my natural intuitive talents. That work depends upon using a specific method […]
Your Thoughts – The Bricks and Mortar of Your Life
September 2, 2011 By 7 Comments
When we begin to look for answers (especially in times of troubles), generally the topmost question we have is, “How did things get to be the way they are for me?” Many of us go through a stage where we blame other people, luck, and a million other things for what’s around us. But If we’re diligent […]
The New Idolatry
August 8, 2011 By 7 Comments
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, we are told (via the Ten Commandments) that “Ye shall have no other gods before me.” Sounds simple enough…if one decides to subscribe to the “one true God” system of that and many other organized religions. Obviously, having God say this also provides an easy solution to the problem of competition […]
Have You Decided To Be Alone?
April 27, 2011 By 1 Comment
In everyone’s life, there comes a time when we realize that no one is coming to save us. Throughout childhood, we necessarily depend on others for nearly everything; our physical needs, comfort, even perhaps our sense of self, and self-esteem. But eventually as we mature and become more aware of how the world works, we […]
True Authenticity – It’s All You
July 19, 2010 By 7 Comments
I believe that we are here to learn and grow, and in the process to work our way back to the Source from which we sprang. Our very individuality is an illusion, but a purposeful one. Our purpose, as tiny sparks flung off the Creative Fire of Source, is to experience creation as fully as possible and so provide the Creator […]
