6. Day 15: Why I Love Mondays……
Would you believe that my revelation about me bringing the momentous, was, well, um…….momentous?! I know I could use another word (amazing, perspective shifting, huge) but I might as well stick with what I know. Here is the thing that is opening me up, I still tend toward the celebratory, the over the top and the colorful but as I spend more and more time with Holy Spirit I am beginning to sense the true Vastness of our being love. And that really is momentous on an infinite scale. I can see that rather than letting the moment be comfortable as it is in the vastness of love,...

Recently one of my daughters received some unexpected news. Not earth shattering, but life rearranging, tedious and upending nevertheless. I was ready at my post with more positive spin and cheer than with true being-in-the-moment-with-them. Of course I knew I had spoken the words that would least help when the response was a drooping, tight-lipped silence. Darn it. I really do want to be helpful, kind and present but somehow my response was received as brassy and too much. Later I was chided with these words: “Why do you always have to be so momentous!?!! Can’t I just be...

The gift of terrorism is that the horror must be faced. In its immediate aftermath there is a tear in the fabric of society and its dogmas, rules and perspective that is rent clean open. Through that rent a great gust of honesty bellows through and we all come face to face with what IS whether we like it or not. When the attacks on September 11, 2001 occurred a great honesty was unleashed across the globe. Those who committed the attacks were angry, hurt and desperate–now we all knew this for certain, even if we knew not what to do about it. Through that wretched honesty came our...

A funny thing happened on the way to extending love to the fear of EVERY DAY…..I have begun to accept the idea of EVERY DAY as just what is. EVERY DAY is not special, separate, set aside or hallowed apart because it is happening all the time. I have talked to many people about this every day quality of life that we shy from or are even afraid of. Here are some of the reasons I have noticed we all tend to agree as to why every-day-ness might get to us: 1. boredom 2. tired 3. too busy 4. the feeling someone is “making” me do this 5. there are other things I want to think...
Read More5. Day 20: Honesty Is The Hot Seat
I have a bone to pick with honesty. Though it is lauded as a very helpful quality it completely alludes me as an avenue of peace. At least in the short term. I had an incident happen recently where I was asked a very simple question which immediately split me into two thoughts: 1) what I want to do & 2) what I think I should do. My dishonest answer was inevitable because I was seeing with double vision, which is worse than total blindness, as with double vision you actually think you can see twice as good. This ended with hurting the very person I wished to NOT hurt in any way....
Read More5. Day 18: Holy-Spirit-To-Go
A comment a dear friend made to me recently opened my eyes wide in a new realization. The comment was to the effect that my life is always go, go, go, and go. This is of course true but the huge AHA was this: I was able to see the “go, go, go and go” as IN me rather than something happening TO me. This is a seemingly small shift but with epic reverberations. I feel a piece/peace falling into place and the acceptance of this part of me that wasn’t there before. I am so very grateful for this REAL-ization (and for my friend’s comment!). I know that the go/stop or...
