Misappropriated Manhood
Most people equate manhood with testosterone, a hormone produced in a man's testes. Testosterone is responsible for many human qualities. For example, in nature, it is usually the male of the species who instinctively protects and provides for his family. Of course, there are always exceptions to this pattern—just ask the mate of the black widow spider. In the human context, manhood has become synonymous with courage, strength and even the ability to reproduce. H

Spidey
I recently saw a movie that took place in the poor sector of Mumbai, India. It flashed for three seconds a black widow spider that had no other purpose in the movie except perhaps to exacerbate the poor living conditions some Mumbaikars experience. That same black widow spider made its own appearance in that night's dream, which is prompting this blog. As many of my readers know, I believe that Soul-guided messages come to us through animals, insects, birds and re

Those Evolutionary Weeds
I'd like to write a book about weeds someday, but I'm not sure it would become a bestseller, every author's ultimate dream. I've been gardening for over thirty-five years and often earn a "wink" from the local garden club over my well-manicured and flowered yard. The design was relatively easy. Maintenance of my garden – not so much. My biggest garden enemy? Weeds! Besides the spiders, mice and rabbits that are ongoing pests, it's the weeds, no, it's those damn we

Honor’s Hidden Message
It all started when I wrote an ad for my Ten Commandments learning product. I discussed my experience with the Fourth Commandment, which clearly states: 'Thou shalt honor thy father and mother.' When I wrote the word honor in the piece, my whole body vibrated momentarily. Two hours later, I realized I needed to better define honor. So my honor deep dive began. Before I get there, however, please ponder my familial history. My parents were physically abusive as I grew u

Get Over It. Build a Bridge
Not one of us walking planet Earth is without holding a grudge or grievance about someone or something. Holding grudges and grievances is part of the human condition. In fact, the Universe, Soul, and Infinite Intelligence all use "grudge holding" as a learning tool. If you're ready to soar to new heights, read on; if not…

Enabling Innocence
Recently, we acquired new next-door neighbors. C and A replaced an upper-aged couple with no children with a beautiful three-year-old girl, whom we shall call Ellie. Ellie is as pure as the driven snow. Curious, pleasant, and as far as I’m concerned, a God-send. What a difference to have a pure specimen of the great Divine to observe. Don’t get me wrong, we love our previous neighbors and have many special memories of our time with them. Ellie’s presence

Victim Status
If you have never hosted your own pity party, this blog is not for you. See you next Thursday! For those of you who are allured by the feeling of being a victim, come along. Time to move up the rungs a little away from the shark-infested waters that have become your playground. Freud defined victim-mindedness as a complex, internal and often criticized perspective focused on unconscious desires. Carl Jung modernized the concept of victim-mindedness as one’s ego id

The Inner Compost Pile
We all have one. You know, the place where we send our deepest, darkest secrets and desires. The place where dark thoughts can be stored for future use. Eventually, however, as with all composting piles, the transformation of what is being composted is inevitable. The question begs: how do dark thoughts transform? For some, into light. Others, yet a deeper, darker abyss. Interestingly, composting, the natural process of organic matter transforming itself into nut

What Might Have Been…
It has been twenty years since I boarded an airplane. My bestie's husband died suddenly, which prompted my immediate attendance some 1800 miles south. The flight down shocked me! First, there were three or four divisions of "comfort levels" you could purchase. How does DEI feel about that? Secondly, everything was so high-tech, from boarding passes to a plethora of choices of entertainment on the "chair back"; from movies to TV, to simply watching a map showing the route our

How God Works 2.0
When I was a little girl, five or six years of age, I wanted to surprise my mother with a gift and brought her a dead bird I gathered while playing outdoors. (I am a Leo after all, and dropping the dead birds at your owners' feet is a cat love language). Mom was leaning over a bed, changing the sheets. My "love" gift caught Mom unaware, and, in her fright, she proffered a blood-curdling scream. I, in turn, dropped the bird, turned around and ran through a glass door. That was

How God Works
Nothing is impossible; God’s details are ALWAYS at work. God’s details are especially abundant for those who recognize that there is a power greater than oneself who is in charge of the many blessings we receive. . . .

The Awakening
Lenten graduation is Sunday. How did you fare? Was your Lenten focus all you hoped it would be?

Any effort you made to bring more light to the planet will be experienced by you.

Lenten Strength
Utilizing the energy of the next 40 days that have been cosmically set aside to help one prepare for spring’s potential, today is day 2 of “spring preparation” of the Lenten season.

The Easter Change
Easter is always celebrated along with the first full moon (light) after the Spring Equinox. The Spring Equinox is always on March 21. Around the world, every culture and religious tradition celebrates the event of “spring,” which is about the message of the March 21 equinox. The Spring Equinox's complementary event is the Fall Equinox, which occurs every September 23. Equinoxes, however, are not just one-day events when technically Sun is exactly above the equator in t

Open-Hearted
Open-hearted is defined as having a charitable heart or as one who is kind, honest and loving. Open heart surgery is used to treat varying heart problems: aneurysms, coronary disease and the like by cutting into the body and refashioning valves, arteries and muscles that service the heart. Open heart surgery cannot, however, help one be more charitable, kind, honest or loving. All spiritual attributes. Spiritual attributes lie in wait and are available to all hum
