A Course in Miracles: Lesson 6
Lesson 6 I am upset because I see something that is not there. To “linger” means to stay in a particular state for a while, most often longer than necessary. The rock group, The Cranberries, sang of just this word in the 90’s hit, Linger. The edgy sound of the guitar at the beginning, […]
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 5
Lesson 5 I am never upset for the reason I think. If my thoughts do not mean anything, then how could I truly know what I am upset over? Thus, am I really even upset? Today’s lessons help us uncover just that. In the practice periods we are called to examine the mind for what […]
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 4
Lesson 4 These thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place]. I honor the time I have taken in silence and on retreats, in particular to Vipassana Centers for a ten-day sit. I can recall meditations where I have […]
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 3
Lesson 3 I do not understand anything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place]. Meditation is a very useful practice where one can learn to retrain the mind and break the habit of blind reaction. Often when thoughts arise we immediately react, even without notice. Physiologically our blood […]
A Course in Miracles: Lesson 2
Lesson 2 I have given everything I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] all the meaning that it has for me. We take another step beyond yesterday’s lesson of “Nothing I see in this room means anything,” in which for the most part, can be taken at face […]
A Course in Miracles: Part I, Lesson I
A Course in Miracles: Part 1, Lesson 1 Lesson 1 Nothing I see in this room [on this street, from this window, in this place] means anything. Welcome to A Walk in Miracles! During this journey, we will approach and explore each lesson in the book A Course in Miracles as a mindful walk we take daily, […]
A Walk In Miracles: The Introduction
A Course in Miracles, or The Course as it is also referred, is considered a channeled text and labor of love of two Professors of Medical Psychology at Columbia’s University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, Helen Schulman and William Thetford, published in 1976. It was channeled through Helen, “three startling months […]
Sacred Sight
Recently, I talked with someone who is recovering from having two kidney stones removed. This is the second time she has had kidney stones in three months. I knew it three months ago, and still know it today, that her body is telling her something. The body is a miraculous and highly evolved communication tool, that […]
Chip Off The Ole’ Greenstone
I was heartbroken today as I was doing too many things at once and dropped my New Zealand greenstone necklace. It is truly apropos that I broke this necklace. For the last few months I have been reminiscing over my time living in New Zealand. Part of me truly still lives there. That part of […]
No Longer Waiting For Green
When I think of the color green I see St. Patrick’s Day, Kermit the Frog, The Emerald City, Scarlett O’Hara’s Dress at the barbecue at Twelve Oaks, the green light at an intersection, stems of a flower, grass, recycle, vegetables… All of my green associates. I am sure there are more but for the time […]
Sitting in Limbo
A pause between two musical notes. The pause between the exhale and inhale, the inhale and the exhale. The eloquent pause between the ticks of a clock, wondering what happens to time when the clock doesn’t tick, the time between when the moment flows into another? In television, it is the moment when Barney Stinson […]
Just Show Up
Just show up. That is all one needs to do, so I have been told over the years. But what does that really mean to “just show up?” For many years, I have taken that to mean something very superficial such as just showing up for work, just showing up to the gym, just showing […]
Fearless Joy
What Is Joy? Just Observing YOU, is joy. I know when I am in joy because I feel it all over my body, inside and out. On the inside, there is a tingly, exciting, bursting at the seams feeling that is hard to contain within the body. I feel absolutely alive when I am in […]

We Land Right Where We Need To: Trail Running To Life
I went on a trail run this past Sunday as I prepare for a 30K trail race, Cradle to Grave, here in North Carolina. My legs were feeling wobbly as I started on the trail. I knew this meant that I needed to go a bit slower and pay closer attention to the trail so […]
Spirit of Greatness
There is a quote that I found while hiking in a cave of rocks in Topanga State Park in California that says “Wonder In Beauty.” Today I wondered in the beauty of inspiration. While visiting the US Olympic Training Complex and the United States Air Force Academy, I witnessed individual dreams coming true. Is there […]
Sacred Choices
Synchrodivinity: Everything we need is waiting for us, if we simply take the time to listen to our spirit. In the book Sacred Choices, Christel Nani uses the word Synchrodivinity to highlight the beauty of living in alignment with our spirit. In yoga we call this our inner teacher, Atman. It is that little […]
No, I’m Not On My Honeymoon!
As I topped off my journey in Bora Bora, it was a true treat for both Garnett and I. As we planned this part of our trip months ago it was thought of nothing more than a pure bucket list item in an already fun adventure. I longed to see the beautiful beaches, swim in […]
PARADISE!
I have arrived to what I can only describe as a place so beautiful that you will wonder if it is fake, St. Regis Bora Bora, Tahiti. I have never seen water so clear and felt weather so perfect. When I close my eyes and think of an island paradise, this is exactly what I […]
Living Wednesday Twice Plus An Apology
Have you ever lived the same day twice? I got as close as you could making the 2 day trip from Koh Samui to Tahiti. As I closed out my detox in Koh Samui, on my exit consultation, I found out that there is a special and proper way to come off of a detox. […]
