SEASON’S GREETINGS! I love this time of year; it reminds me so much of the great times I had growing up in the Norman Rockwell winters of New England – oh, and yes – it was every bit as picturesque as it sounds! My yard backed up to a park with an outdoor lighted ice skating rink, so night skating was, of course, a great favorite for all of us. I can still feel my face slowly warming over the steam from Mom’s hot chocolate and the soul-settling scent of cinnamon toast. Most of the neighborhood kids were related in …

Hello Everyone; I see and hear in my travels that a lot of people are going through a very difficult time do to economics, health or relationships. I for that matter have my own challenges. There is definitely change in the air. The leaves drop their brightly fall colored leaves to make a new. It is a letting go that mother earth is nurtured again, bringing added nutrients to support the tree in the spring. So this letting go is a natural process in order to gain again. For some of us it is easier to let go certain things …

Hello Everyone; As I talk with you in my last news letter about some of the principles of a teacher I have worked with for many years such as Faith and Belief, and Acceptance of Fate I have added a few more for you to consider. Some of us may not like the family we grew up but that does not change the fact that they are still our parents. I have to say that I have been blessed by two parents that provided me with a memorable childhood experience. They will always hold a special place in my heart.. …

SEASON’S GREETINGS; At the core of every being resides the fundamental part of us which is immortal, eternal, without beginning and without end. We can call this something the true Higher Self because it is the closest thing to us, and is in fact our own essence, that which we truly are. The goal of attaining the knowledge of the Higher Self is not simply a lofty one; it is the highest goal which a human being can seek to achieve. There are four main paths to enlightenment: Knowledge, Action, Devotion, and Meditation. Since people come with a variety of …

Hello Everyone; Talk about hot. I took a vacation to Florida just so I could get away from the heat in Memphis; there is always a breeze down here along the ocean. In my travels to different cities doing workshops and classes, I found a common thread these days about people having to make hard choices do to the fact of wanting to grow and change in consciousness. A meditation teacher I have worked with for many years has stated many times that the path of self discovery does not get easier just because you want to evolve. This is …

Hello Everyone; How is life treating you, as one of my teachers said to a student one day. The student began to respond with all the normal stuff going on in his life. Then the teacher said to him how are you treating life? What a profound statement if you think about it. We tend to blame everything outside of us as the reason we feel a certain way. It is us that cause ourselves to feel how we feel. The responsibility on how we feel is always on us and not some outside circumstance. Everyone has a life situation. …

Hello Everyone; I am ready for spring! It’s like awakening to the best of what life has to offer, the likes of Daffodil’s blooming, deep blue skies, children playing in the yard again. Everything awakening from its deep sleep. Everyone wants to do their best. Lose weight, take up yoga, meditate, plant a garden, new relationships. Something in the air at spring makes the sap run again, excites our spirit and gets our juices flowing. From all of that our creativity begins to bloom. Write that book you have been thinking about, volunteer at the nearby health center. Surround your …

Hello, Everyone; Seems like every highly conscious speaker I hear or read about these days is talking about how things are speeding up. Well, I tell ya, if they increase any more a lot of us are going to go flying off into outer space somewhere! Does that mean it’s important to stay grounded? You betcha! Keep those feet planted squarely beneath you. You cannot deal with life in a practical manner if you fly off into Never- Never Land. Stay connected and solid in your body, breathe past the pain that you are dealing with, go beyond the pain. …

Hello Everyone, The weather is crazy: snow & sledding one week, shorts & planting a garden the next! As we move into the next phase of planetary change, everything we know will be turned upside down for review. Where we place our priorities is the question — is our focus toward the external, or do we search within? This “inside stuff” is somewhat difficult for most of us; we are simply not accustomed to this inner-self focus … and there doesn’t seem to be much going on when we do! No three-ring circus to capture our attention — just YOU. …
