A Word about Angels
Lovely readers, thank you so much for coming here and indulging me by reading my writing. It is such a wonderful thing to connect with you through ideas and sharing, and to hear yours, too! I want to say a bit about the fact that I work with the angelic spectrum of...
It’s the Ego that Tries to Negate Parts of Ourselves
first published on 12-4-06 on www.liciaberry.com I had an interaction last night that was such a blessing to me; I went to a cookie exchange party here in the valley and got into a conversation with a woman that was simultaneously sad and affirming for me, causing me...
A Prayer by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Refuse to fall down. If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down. If you cannot refuse to stay down, lift your heart toward heaven, and like a hungry beggar, ask that it be filled, and it will be filled. You may be pushed down. You may be kept from rising....
Divine Game of Peek A Boo
originally published on www.liciaberry.com 5-22-07 Self Love and Self Worth-The Joy of Forgetting and Remembering My personal healing process of late seems to be taking me to the old wound of being unloving towards myself and feeling unworthy. I am asked with some...

What is a “Witch”?
...cause I've been called one! Seriously! The town we used to live in, small as it was, had several churches. There is a meeting of the spiritual leaders of those churches called the Pastoral Alliance. And, as it goes in small towns, there is not a lot to talk...
Epiphanies on Epiphany
I’m not a scholar on Christian holy days; I observe spiritual traditions that make sense to me, that have personal meaning to me. Until yesterday, Epiphany flew by unnoticed. The 12th day of Christmas, Epiphany is the oldest of the Christmas festivals and originally...
A Response to Avatar, the Oldest Story in the World
I saw the movie that is taking the world by storm the other night, and it has taken me several days to have some words to be able to describe my experience. First let me say that I am not so much a popular movie buff. I do like some movies that happen to have fallen...
