I have a predilection to answer “yes” when I am asked to do anything and it has lead to some of the most interesting and rewarding times of my life. You might say I have put faith in the power of yes. When I met my now husband Pedro in Cuba and he asked if…
There are two possibilities in this photo. The man is running from something or he runs towards something. In fact the only thing required to change from one to the other is to set a clear intention. It is impossible to think of nothing. That is not the state of the human brain. All the…
Let me be entirely truthful with you. When I was making an acronym from the word LOVE I was struggling to find the right word for the “V”. Venerable was the word I chose and today I want to explain why I think it is important and what it means to me. A “venerable sage”…
There is no measure for my love. It cannot be measured and probably not even described but none-the-less I wanted to try. How much I love others is a reflection of how well I understand love and how much I love myself. At the most basic level my philosophy is built on a foundation that…
I am not sure what word you are comfortable to use representing “the divine”. The term I most often use is “the divine” or “universal mind and presence” or some other such term that de-personalizes the construct of teh judeo-christian belief of God that I was raised to know. I do not mean that I…

On the road of life sometimes we think that age will result in wisdom. I do not believe it. Wisdom is not acquired simply because time passes. Perhaps you have heard the saying “old and withered”. This is not necessarily confined to the body, the mind can also play this game…smile. Let me tell you a…
Sometimes I have wanted to run away from doing the right thing. You see, in all honesty, I am attracted to a simple, easy life. This is a good thing for me. I enjoy it. But every once in a while I have to do the “right thing” and that is not always the easy…
How often I have thought I must find the right answer for myself. For some reason the fact that I live at the same time as six billion other people did not seem to mean I could ask one of them…smile. Perhaps you have made the same choice yourself at some time. How happy I…
