Announcing a New Blog

As written in my post last year ‘A Toast to Your Health’, I have become very interested in learning about herbalism. To that end, I have begun a new blog that focuses on herbal benefits and herbal product reviews. If you are interested in reading my adventures in learning about medicinal herbs, please consider following……

Power Up Your Spiritual Battery

The energy surrounding us grows ever more tense with each new day. It seems to have been increasing even more rapidly these past couple of months. I have personally experienced more supernatural events this year alone than all those I can count prior in my lifetime. Activity has been especially prevalent in the past few…

A Thought Sparkler

Does Christianity lean too heavily on the Apostles’ interpretations of what Jesus taught them? Only days before his crucifixion, Jesus said to Peter, “You ever err since you always try to attach the new teaching to the old; you are determined to misunderstand all my teaching; you insist on interpreting the gospel in accordance with…

Warning! Assumptions Prevalent

Since I began spiritual rehab a few years ago, I’ve found that there are very few people I can discuss it with. People nod their heads and furrow their brows. They never ask any questions. They make assumptions. I can see it in the way they look at me right before they change the subject…

This Moment

All that matters is this moment, right now. Whatever you are doing at this very moment is all that matters. In the illusion of time, right now is all that exists. Make it count.

I could probably write three different versions – one about surviving a severely dysfunctional family, one about beating the odds, one about encountering the paranormal and…

Complexities of Being Gemini

“This is going to sound crazy,” Peach whispered hesitantly. “Whaaaaat? Nooooo, there’s never any crazy coming from you!” Beech drawled, then yawned. If Peach can count on nothing else, she can always be sure Beech will deliver on sarcasm. On that one front, Beech never disappoints. Peach and Beech are the twin voices inside my…

Something to Know About Jesus

In ancient hermetic philosophy, there are seven universal laws.   When one’s consciousness is in harmony with these laws, one’s life seems to be in balance.  Some people make these laws their religion, but for me they are tools to help me better understand my connection to God and the Holy Trinity.  My life is only…

What’s an Empath?

It wasn’t until I was in my forties that I discovered Dr. Judith Orloff’s books. According to the self-assessment test (link below), I am a “full-blown empath”. Once it became clear that there was not anything actually wrong with me, everything was different. It was brighter. I understood so much more about myself and was…
