Spirit is Here, Now
It’s about time. The changes occurring in the Arab world, the cradle of human civilization, are exciting to say the least. Thousands of years of human conflict and bloodshed…thousands of years of abandonment of how connected we are…thousands of years of fighting over...
BIG LOVE
Many years ago, when I met Peter, I first had sense of recognition. He seemed familiar. Not that he looked like someone I had met or identified as someone I would be attracted to. Just…familiar. There was also a sense of something bigger…a pull, a draw. What is...
The Oldest Definition of Health
Pete and I are holding a playshop in a couple of weeks entitled “Spiritual Partnership”; we are really excited about it, in a very big picture, step-on-the-moving-sidewalk-straight-to-your-destiny kind of way. When we first met almost 25 years ago, we had a sense that...
The Concept of Home
After several years of feeling homeless due to our family’s journey (which has felt distinctly like a 7 year vision quest, or odyssey) we are finally being guided to put down deeper roots and begin the process of buying a house. I’ve been thinking about “home” a lot...
Seven Years

Compassion in Remembering
I’m currently experiencing the release of old body memory. I’ve gone through phases of this at different times in my life since I began recovery work from childhood sexual violence at age 23. Each time this happens, I am more awestruck by the healing process and the...
Thoughts on Christmas (2009)
I have a few precious moments of serenity as the boys have run down to the neighborhood park for a football game, and my sweet husband has retired to the haven of our bed for a much needed nap. It is Christmas, again, and we were up late last night wrapping presents...
The Gift of Acknowledgement
Have you ever noticed that when you are having a hard day and you are able to tell someone about your feelings without being judged, criticized or fixed, that you realize you feel soooooo much better? This is something I have been working with these last few years. A...
