Extreme and Extraordinary Times*

  Everyone would probably agree that we are experiencing unusual times, scary times you might say. Times filled with fear of the future. Where are we headed? Will the current administration’s plan work?  They are certainly spending an enormous, unfathomable amount of money. Will this get us back ‘on track’? We are delaying the inevitable. […]

The BIG Announcement

You know when you’ve been working on a project for what seems like forever, and you are nearing the end, how you wonder if it is really done, if anyone will like it, etc. etc? Well, I find myself in this position—finally, finally getting close enough to see the end result. Ready to show the […]

Solving Our Problems: Who is Right?

What is it with all these different opinions, different judgements flying around the world? Who is right and who is wrong? How can good people think so differently than I do? Will we someday get to a place where we can all agree on being loving and kind to one another? These questions may come […]

It’s All About Consciousness

We are horrified by something tragic like the attacks in Paris. How can we not be? Seeing those who would slaughter innocents is beyond our comprehension. Trying to make rational sense of it, trying to understand the cause, may be an exercise in frustration. Whatever happens next, give yourself a break from the news. Get […]

So it seems when we just post our best. This isn’t wrong. It’s fine to focus on the good things in […]

The Law of Attraction, What Really Works

The ‘law of attraction’ can be a refreshing new thought to entertain, or it can be a real downer. It depends on many things, one of which is how you process information, what your beliefs and experiences have been, and of course where you are now in your life. It can be overwhelming to think […]
