I’m having fun pulling writings from the past 10 years or so together into a book. It’s still a ways off but this list just hasn’t found its place yet. I’m not sure when I wrote it or honestly, if I wrote the whole thing but I’m sure the last half is all me. 😋
However, the list does reflect truths that I think are so important in our changed world. Continue reading “Some rules of life- 2 views”
Why do I teach meditation?
Why do I teach meditation- Here’s how the discussion went at a gathering of a new meditation group
Are there questions from the group?
Don’t you love it. I have given you no info, yet I ask for questions? Ha!
Okay, how many meditated in the past week for 3 minutes or more?
Excellent.
How many of you even thought about meditation for at least a half a second? Excellent!
If you have done nothing in regards to meditation yet you came to the gathering tonight… excellent!!! You all are excellent. Good job.
Simple self care in challenging times.
In these changed times, it can seem hard to hold on to your positivity, your vision for your happy, healthy future. I understand… I truly do. I’m in the middle of a health wake-up call and I realized today that taking positive action feels a bit like walking a tightrope. What do I have time and money for? How can I change my already crammed schedule to make time for these new practices to build health? Do I have time to make dreams come true AND to shore up my wellness so that I can be an active part of those dreams.

The power of words- said aloud or repeated in your mind again and again and again and…
My own lessons often provide the best fodder for sharing. In the past few days, I’ve said or been told repeatedly about the power of words. So… guess it’s share time?
The words we say out loud are one category… “I’m fine,” “Oh that’s okay, I don’t mind,” or the ever popular, “It doesn’t matter to me.” Sometimes what we say aloud is exactly what we’re thinking. Those are the truthful times. Congratulations on those. Continue reading “The power of words- said aloud or repeated in your mind again and again and again and…”
Sounds to heal
I haven’t blogged much about sound likely because I’ve been exploring so much. When I’m learning and exploring, it’s hard for me to stop and say, “Here’s what I know” because the knowing is growing.
I have arrived on a level with sound when I know I have enough to share and words to explain what a I know… perhaps.

Positivity isn’t blindness, it’s a choice.
“The power of positive thinking” was published by Norman Vincent Peale in 1952. That was before even I was born!!! Without referencing the book in particular, the concept of positive thinking feels empty to some, an energy of fake happy, if you will. But positive thinking for me is visualizing good results, reaching goals, great happiness. The energy created by these visions is uplifting and empowering. Positive thinking isn’t a magic wand that instantly drops a Porsche in your driveway or fixes a negative bank balance. But herding your meandering mind towards positive visions is a choice that long term pays great benefits.

sound and transformation
You are alive in a magical time of transformation. The world and her inhabitants are shifting levels. Truly, I think it’s the humans that are shifting. Our plant, animal, elemental friends, the earth, the planets, the cosmos… they’re already at a balanced, healing, sustainable, loving, compassionate level. Now it’s time for humanity to evolve.
This transformation isn’t something that arrives external to you and fixes things so you feel better. The transformation is you, in you, of you… in and of each of us. Awakening, enlightenment, 5D energy… whatever you call it… to me the transformation is a simple thing.
What are you visualizing?
Happy new year!! I love this time of year. It’s my time to really go deep with where I am in life and where I want to go. Are you pondering your intentions, resolutions and dreams?
Here’s a bit of encouragement if dreaming about the new year isn’t filling you with joyful anticipation.
Visualization- “the formation of a mental image of something.” Call it imagination, dreaming, anticipation… visualization is the “movie” of your life that you run in your head. An important factor about those thoughts that you regularly spin in your brain is that they are energy. Yes, what you think about is real measurable energy. That energy affects you and everyone around you.
it’s the holiday season!!
It’s the holiday season!!!!
What does that mean to you? Each of us is so different so of course, I encourage you to do you!!!
For me, this season is leading up to the winter solstice and that’s my true time of celebration. It’s funny that it’s just wired into me that way. Christmas is fine, but the solstice always brings me some real gifts. Continue reading “it’s the holiday season!!”
“I live my life in widening circles…”
I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not ever complete the last one,
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, that primordial tower.
I have been circling for thousands of years,
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?
by Rainer Maria Rilke
English version by Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy- Original Language German
