The first time it happened, I was unsure of what had actually occurred. The next time it happened I was, “Come on, this can’t really be happening.” The third time it happened I knew it was real and I’d have to make a change or I could never rely on what I was seeing. OverContinue reading “Jumping Time”

Freedom of Response
If you haven’t yet read Viktor Frankl’s book Man’s Search for Meaning, I suggest you soon do so. Frankl was an Austrian psychiatrist whose entire family was taken and eventually deported to Auschwitz, the World War II German prisoner of war labor camp for captured Jews. He was one of the few who survived afterContinue reading “Freedom of Response”
Sitting in Your Soul
NICABM (National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral Medicine) offers Facebook image blurbs to encourage healthy living and enhanced mental resilience; plus occasionally offering online classes and speaker summits that I’ve participated in previously. Today’s image above is focused on the importance of MINDFULNESS with the Ram Dass quote: “When you are down hereContinue reading “Sitting in Your Soul”
Standing in the Stream
During summer’s heat, if you don’t mind getting your feet wet you’ve likely stood at least one time in a gentle stream and allowed the cool running water to casually flow over and around your feet and lower legs. There where the current is mild with water tickling your ankles and calves as it envelopsContinue reading “Standing in the Stream”

Acknowledging Ourselves
We exist. We ARE. We live and die, and somewhere in-between the two, we learn. WHAT we learn depends on so many factors such as our living environments, our support teams on earth and beyond who protect us and nurture our growth, and that soul spark within us that drives us forward toward some unseenContinue reading “Acknowledging Ourselves”
The Mysteries
Sounds like an exploration of the ancient Greek mystery cults which were of great interest to me earlier in life, but instead what I’m referring to now are fiction crime novels written by skilled wordsmiths. There are many authors in that CRIME MYSTERY genre and darn few that are truly gifted at writing. And IContinue reading “The Mysteries”
Beliefs and Concepts
“Our beliefs and concepts are the greatest obstacles to awakening.” (AwakenTheWorld) *** This won’t be another rant against organized religions, although it’s clear how detrimental I feel that many of them are by discouraging an individual’s self-inquiry and personal consciousness development. We can actually be biased and closed-minded about most anything that we encounter inContinue reading “Beliefs and Concepts”
Winter Magic

Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it ..” ~ Roald Dahl ~Artist Credit : Elaine Bayley Serendipity Corner What can I say; it’s that time of year. EveryoneContinue reading “Winter Magic”
Wishing You Peace
This is the time of year when we gather with family and friends for good food, fellowship, and joy. At least that’s the intention of the year-end holiday season, but not everyone is so blessed right now. And while I do wish everyone an abundance of food, love, peace and joviality, I also know thatContinue reading “Wishing You Peace”
“To Make You Feel My Love”
“When the rain is blowing in your faceAnd the whole world is on your caseI could offer you a warm embraceTo make you feel my love…” Bob Dylan When I meditated on this lovely image for awhile, in my mind I heard Billie Joel singing this Dylan song’s title words, “To Make You Feel MyContinue reading ““To Make You Feel My Love””
