We live in a polar world right now, some call it duality. Things are seen as black and white, right or wrong, good or bad, and on and on.

Love from the heart wants what is best for your higher good but real life interactions often … Continue reading I Hear I am Loved. I Just Don’t Feel It.
Retaining Integrity in a Political World
The world is spinning seemingly out of control, yet it remains on its axis. It seems to move faster and faster each day and yet it still takes 24 hours to do so. Happenings are reported momentarily assaulting the senses as they compound, continuously attacking our ability to remain calm as we assess and valuate … Continue reading Retaining Integrity in a Political World
Loving Your Body Gratefully
Today is Thanksgiving and for many it will be a day of food, and tomorrow may be a day of feeling tired, bloated, regretful and feeling shame.

Recently I read a meme posted on Facebook about stupid people. The first time I read it, I was uncomfortable that he spoke about people being stupid.

I remember praising God through prayer and song, and hearing that God is good, but the devil was more a thing of movies and books, and funny sayings.

What Happened to Truth?
Has truth been cancelled by opinions? I am filled with opinions as are most everyone I know. Some are more comfortable sharing theirs than others. From time to time I write. I share my opinions with anyone who chooses to read my blogs, knowing that not everyone will agree with them. I expect that the readers … Continue reading What Happened to Truth?
