Light. It’s everything. Yet we don’t learn or talk about it. I’m devoted to changing the conversation to include Light. Because it’s everything. Did I mention that already? Why does it matter? If we acknowledge (and science does) that every particle and wave of Life is Light, then that means we are made of that same substance of Light. 

I work with bringing disappointment to rest a lot. A few years ago, I noticed a looooong string of disappointments from as far back as I can remember hanging out under my radar.

One of the most natural things to do in Spring is a cleanse. If we've…

I remember when I felt utterly lost in life and didn’t even know there was such a thing as a Tree of Life, let alone that my mind, body, and soul were all part of it. I was staring out the window at the creek in my backyard, I lived at a Bed & Breakfast at the time and the grounds were like Monet’s garden, they were so beautiful. Yet, I was struggling mightily with depression and overwhelm, everything seemed very hard and as I looked out this window, I remember thinking, “I just want to go home, this is too much.” “Home” to me meant back where it was warm and cozy, the great beyond, the heart of Source, basically I thought if I were dead, it wouldn’t be hard anymore. 

ears ago I read a good entitled “The Book of Tea” by Okakura Kakuzo. The author lived from 1862 - 1913 in Tokoyo, Japan. He was quite philosophical and passionate about the arts, traveling extensively to teach and promote his convictions. He was also dedicated to bringing the Eastern and Western worlds closer. He found a way to express his ideas through his book published in 1956.

Did you know that a bowl is a ‘thing’? So are birds for that matter! A bowl represents generosity, ritual, and promise. Who knew? An empty bowl represents a clear mind. A full bowl represents nourishment.

I spent years limping along with all my attention on my humanity to the exclusion of my Divinity until I finally got that it’s both/and, not either/or.I often hear people say, something along the lines of, “Well, I’m only human.”  But the thing is, we’re not only human. We’re both human and Sacred. There would be no human without the Source (or Force if you’re a Trekkie) of LIfe.
