Today I made time, one hour in fact, to go for a walk, celebrate spring and surrender myself into the energy that is re-growth. You see nothing in the universe is new. There has not been something new in the universe for billions of years. All there has been is transformation. Spring is one form…
Have you ever wondered if there is a master of the universe? Is he/she/it pulling strings the same as a puppet master? Is it random or is it planned? Have you ever wondered? Well for gosh sakes stop wondering and start wandering through the bountiful choices available. It is wonderful to have the ability…
Sometimes it is very easy to get caught up in the capitalistic model of “doing”. After all, doing is fun. Doing is where the “action” happens. This is true and the next statement is not to say that we should not “do” things. But the reality of life is that we are not what we…
I apologize (well not really) for writing about kissing all your troubles away but I could not resist. This is my husband and as you can see by the photo, he is very kissable. It was he who taught me that anything and everything can be kissed away. You see whenever I am being particularly…

A positive outlook is a thing of beauty indeed. One of the most important principles for us to find and follow our bliss is in fact to keep a positive outlook. Our happiness, to a great extent, is fueled by our ability to look adversity in the face and grow from it. One of the…
The cycle of life. Coming together in a circle. Parallels between us. Anchored by one source of wisdom. All this is well represented in this photo. I love when something can be interpreted more than one way. It reminds me that always we have choice. The title today is really about closing not about nearness…
To play any musical instrument requires ability, skill and knowledge. It is no coincidence (ok maybe it is) that together they form the word ask. Learning is the first letter in our acronym of LOVE.
