Hiking the Grand Canyon: Part I
I will be on vacation for the Holiday Season and will return with new posts on Monday January 8th. Meanwhile, enjoy this rerun of one of my favorite blog series on the lessons that travel has to teach us… There are two paths to take down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. The…
Snow Throws
I have a silly tradition with my cats: at the first sign of snow, I grab them as they line up for their morning eats or their afternoon treats and gently toss them into the yard wherever white fluffs have accumulated. This weekend as I managed to snag first my young orange guy and then…
Balancing Back to Respect: A Celebration of Women
I have heard that there were ancient civilizations in which it was the women who predominantly held positions of leadership, in cooperation with several co-leaders. This cooperative system was set up to ensure that no one’s personal agenda had an undue influence on how the society was run. Women, it was believed, had an knack…
Christ Consciousness Rising
I’ve felt lately that there is a strong consciousness rising that refuses to view life from the perspective of old labels and paradigms. This inner choice to rise into more spiritual beings has dismantled the dam which was holding back the core issues which need healed in order to see a brighter, more sane world.…
A Thanksgiving of Dream-Doing and Gratitude
This has been quite a year. Now though, as I sit here typing away it is with both a big smile on my face and with tears of joy because I know that I am in the midst of doing what I love. I know I will see my parents on Thursday, and soon my…

This sprang up from a discussion about Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead, a book I admittedly have not read but which I was informed had a character who refused to bend his vision, his…
It’s the Hard That Makes It Great: Accessing the True Golden Age
There’s a classic line from the baseball movie A League of Their Own in which coach Jimmie Dugan answers star player Dottie’s entreaty about why she was quiting the league. “It just got too hard,” she lamented. “It’s supposed to be hard,” shoots back Coach Jimmie. “The hard is what makes it great.” In spiritual…
Ghosts and Ghouls and Enlightened Fools
Photo by Gosia Siechowicz at FreeImages.com Since tomorrow is Halloween and I just finished a writing project that has my brain on overload, I thought I’d re-publish a post I wrote a few Halloween’s back. Enjoy! When I was a child, it was taboo to talk about experiencing ghostly presences. As I grew into a…
Writing for Change
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Co-author Trina Noelle has decided to move onto other endeavors, and will no longer be writing for the blog. I will still be posting new articles every Monday. A lot is going on in the world that can make us feel like our hands our tied in our ability to affect positive change.…
A Call to Action: Walking the Walk
I was outside in my backyard the other day saying my morning prayers, and as sometimes happens when the Creator flows through Mother Nature and straight into me, I felt inspired to raise my arms in exaltation of the beauty and the Divine energy that I felt were present. The Great Spirit of God and…
