New Year Resolution
We began this New Year on a Full Moon. Between January 1st and 2nd, the moon showed off Her light and reminds us of something within us that is just as luminous. We began this New Year with a hint; step out of the shadows and allow yourself to light up with hope, joy, and … Continue reading New Year Resolution

This is the season of giving and for some, it can put a terrible pressure on the wallet. So, it is also a good time to rethink generosity and to find a way to give generously and joyfully. I used to work at a public health clinic in Palm Beach County in the 80's. It … Continue reading Generosity

The Call to Serve
It is in your nature to love.
Calm. Totally Calm.
On Friday evening, we gathered at Kristin's home during a torrential downpour. There was flash flooding on the roads and flights were grounded and the storm raged, and still, they came. This group of women dedicated to studying peace-making and compassion, persisted despite having a good reason to cancel. Looking at the great teaching of … Continue reading Calm. Totally Calm.
