Each soul is unique

Every human being is a soul living an embodied life.  I personally do not ascribe to the belief that we live this life in order to try to remember and return to our Spiritual state, constantly failing a little less each time until we reach perfection.  To me this seems like a type of torture…

Follow your heart

Ever experienced a time when you were doing something and you realized that you forgot about time all together and you had a smile on your face you know you’ve had for a while now and you are just totally enthralled in what you are doing?  That’s how I define ‘joy’.  Most people think of…

Those who serve

Most days there is plenty enough to do to get through the day.  Work and groceries and cooking and hobbies and family and the list goes on and on.  Between trying to be who we are or figure out who we are and trying to be what others need us to be or who we…

Less is more

To say my life is busy would be an understatement of grandiose proportions.  I’m a whirling dervish whose body at this point is waving the white flag and starting to give me signals that stress reduction is required “now!”.  I struggle with this issue every day, which in the short-term is stressful (irony) but is…

The past informs the future

We get conflicting messages about our personal past.  “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it”.  “Let bygones be bygones”.  “Forgive and forget.  Relieve and regret”.  “Keep moving forward and don’t live in the past”.  It can leave you feeling whiplash.  Is what happened to me before relevant?  Do I just forget everything and…

Are you happy to be alive?

I went to visit my father, yesterday.  He’s in a care facility about 2 hours from my home so it’s a fairly easy drive. The facility is amazing and he is getting fantastic care from happy staff who like their jobs and have enough staff on hand to do the job well. They actually enjoy…

Soul Journeys

Every soul has its own path that it walks.  Each has a unique affinity, a style, a way of being in the Universe that is its own.  Some are similar, others complimentary, many harmonize, balance, or support each other.  And most work for the best possible good for themselves and all around them.  But my…

Choices and responsibilities

It is easy to make choices when all you are responsible for is yourself.  You look at your needs and goals, make choices to get them met in the best way possible weighing all the pros and cons or not as you choose and the outcome is on you regardless of what happens. But when…
