One of my favorite posts here because it’s a true story of fear that was transformed with a Mother’s love and the Universe’s good grace in very real and tangible ways. If I have a “manifestation” story to tell, when I’m older, this one would be it. I’ve updated it a bit to bring it [...]

It was the mid 1980s and for the sum total of one evening I thought I was in love with him. But most of the time we were just very good friends. His name was Stan Easton. I was in nursing school. My schedule was hectic and beyond busy. Stan called one day. I wasn’t [...]

I See You

I’ve put a couple of videos on this blog before that had me tearing up. By the time I was done watching this one, I was bawling for breakfast. Oh my, the heart just never forgets and it’s not just humans who have this beautiful capacity to love. This video illustrates the many ways we [...]

“Pain Is Inevitable. Suffering is Optional.” (Zen Aphorism) It’s a very famous quote that I’ve heard many, many times but only recently began to get a sense of what I think it really means.
