The Relevance of Meditation
When someone comes to me with concerns, be it physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, the first strategy I recommend for coping and healing is to learn to meditate. When the body is sending stress signals of discomfort, when the mind is bouncing from worries to regrets and back again, when a person never finds the time look inward […]
What Is Health?
What is health anyway? With all the talk about the flu lately, and how seemingly healthy individuals can have very serious cases of it, it brought to mind how we think of health.

January Newsletter 2018
This year is starting off for me in an unfamiliar, sort of scattered way. I’d like to be really honest with all of you, I want to be as authentic as I can be this year. We are all moving through this life trying to discover who we really are, what is true, how to […]
My Little Holiday Message

This goes on for years. She thinks these things she is collecting will improve her somehow, make her smarter, prettier, […]
Post Hurricane Observations & New Class Time
Well, we all survived Irma, albeit a bit bruised and battered. I am wishing all of you in Florida and Texas are well on your way to total recovery and more. It is interesting what a big storm ‘washes up’. Along with the fog of storm after- effects, (Many of us are bumping around, forgetting […]
Heal Ourselves, Heal the World

Most of us want the same thing. We want a world where everyone is fulfilled, healthy, successful, and at peace. Sometimes we think to […]
Where are our Leaders?
There is a leading edge of evolution functioning within humanity. This leading edge is a minority of the population, yet large enough to have an impact by showing the way, being an example of where we can go, how we can be, and what we can accomplish. According to Ken Wilbur, author and integral […]
