Thanks to the writings and teachings of so many light workers, from ancient sages and saints of old to contemporary preachers and New Age practitioners, we are inundated with reminders of how vital and transforming it is to have an attitude of gratitude about life. There are journals in which we can document the things…
That’s a pretty drastic statement, right? Burn the books. Well, it’s not shades of Fahrenheit 451, the dystopian novel and film about the slow substitution of reading literature for the sound bites and factoids of television. In the world created by acclaimed science fiction writer Ray Bradbury, and reimagined by director Francois Truffaut, reading was…
Last year, as Journey Agent for a series of national live events, I began every event with a quote by 19th century Lebanese poet and philosopher, Khalil Gibran from his book, The Prophet, published in 1923. The chapter I read at each event began with the words, “Then the plowman said, ‘Speak to us of…
A couple of years ago, my daughter and I took a spring break cruise of the Greek Isles with a group of parents and children from the United Nations School. It was 8 days and nights of visiting strolling around Athens, followed by sailing to ancient ruins on several islands in chilly weather on choppy…

When we hear that expression, “grace under fire” it evokes images of resiliency, the ability to withstand extreme stress while remaining calm. In fact, “Never let ‘em see you sweat“was the tagline of a popular TV commercial. The underlying thought was to avoid demanding or strained situations at all costs. And then, when you can’t…
One of my sister-friends has become noticeably lighter and freer lately. When I asked her about it, she said that she had decided to forgive her ex-husband for all the things she was holding against him. They’d been divorced for years, but she could never talk about him without cussing, so this was huge. There…
If there is one thing we try to avoid at all costs its failure. Messing up and looking bad is the worst combination in the world, second only to being loud and wrong. That’s unfortunate, because failing is one of life’s most potent gifts. Remember, when we succeed, we tend to celebrate and when we…
If you live in one of what we coastal big city elitists call the flyover states, then you are probably intimately familiar with the 4H Clubs. All I know about them is what I’ve seen in movies having something to do with young people raising farm animals and leading a wholesome, countrified outdoorsy kinda life. …
