One might think that this current pandemic is creating a crisis in education institutions around the world, but I personally think it offers a unique opportunity for all of us to redefine ‘teaching and learning experiences’ for educators, students, and parents. Probably the most soul-numbing career I have ever experienced was teaching Technical Writing toContinue reading “The Perplexing State of Education Today”

Reflections On My Left Hand
I have far greater appreciation now for the lesser-used appendage: my left hand. Last Wednesday morning bright and early I took a “woops” dive off the back stoop—two steps high. As I plummeted to the ground I turned mid-flight to brace myself before I hit the ground, and naturally put my right hand out toContinue reading “Reflections On My Left Hand”
Selective Viewing
Well, …maybe sometimes it IS what you look at, because that’s also a choice that we make daily. And if you don’t want to completely lose what’s left of your sanity, you might not constantly watch the NEWS shows. But depending on which NEWS channels that you DO watch, is likely how you tend toContinue reading “Selective Viewing”
The Moon
“Tao & Zen The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature,Continue reading “The Moon”
“Beyond the Walls of Belief”
Resonance Science Foundation “You are not controlled by your genes. You are controlled by your beliefs.” – Bruce Lipton I have one of Lipton’s books, The Biology of Belief, which was interesting at the time published, and which to me seemed to be a precursor to much of what Dr. Joe Dispenza presently teaches now:Continue reading ““Beyond the Walls of Belief””
Healing the Wounds of Abandonment
This morning I was trying to clean off old documents/folders from my computer desktop screen—trashing the stuff that no longer applied or that I simply needed to let go, and I came to a document where I had copied the intro and start of Chapter One from my intended, but never written, fourth HONORING THEContinue reading “Healing the Wounds of Abandonment”
The Comfort of ‘BELIEFS’
Beliefs, like relationships, are very complicated things. Many people experience a degree of comfort in ‘shared beliefs.’ Some may even feel a sense of belonging to a recognized and accepted group norm often found in religious or cultural beliefs—where they may feel the welcoming support of their fellow members—welcoming, that is, as long as theyContinue reading “The Comfort of ‘BELIEFS’”
The Wounded-Child Within
Love that picture above. It expresses so clearly our inner need for closeness without all these additional words that I will soon add here. It shows our need to reach out to others and to be recognized and ACCEPTED by others—to truly be seen as a ‘being of substance’ within the structural framework ofContinue reading “The Wounded-Child Within”
Un-Becoming, Just To Be YOU
“Maybe the journey isn’t so much about becoming anything. Maybe it’s about un-becoming everything that isn’t really you so you can be who you were meant to be in the first place.” ~ Paul Coelho Had I not just heard this same thing a day ago during a phone call with a close friend, IContinue reading “Un-Becoming, Just To Be YOU”
When Life Is Disrupted
This time we are in right now—this total disruption of our previous intentions and of our plans made for the current year and maybe even for the next—times when we were naively hiking up that rugged mountain path and it suddenly crumbled beneath our feet sending us into free-fall down toward the valley below; yes,Continue reading “When Life Is Disrupted”
Our Karmic History Per Alberto Villoldo
Interesting find this morning on Facebook: Alberto Villoldo briefly discusses Karma and the human energy-field cocoon or as he calls it “the luminous egg”—how at death, our seven individual body-chakra energy centers upload all energy information into the eighth chakra (above our heads) that represents ‘our Spirit container‘ for this lifetime. He talks about howContinue reading “Our Karmic History Per Alberto Villoldo”
But HOW Does It Work?
Every aspect of our shared LIFE experience incites insatiable curiosity in me. About 25-years ago, I joined what was then called “One Spirit Book Club” where you could purchase a monthly book of choice. One book caught my attention. It was about a Japanese energy/spiritual practice called “REIKI”. The promo said, “Learn the ancient hands-onContinue reading “But HOW Does It Work?”
