When I first had the inspiration to start a tutoring business, and later, a spiritual coaching business, I had no idea where to begin. As I learned more, I became overwhelmed by all the hoops I’d need to jump through in order to make this thing happen. After which, I’d run for the nearest […]
It was one of the most difficult times in my life, relocating to South Carolina, feeling estranged from my husband, and working 14-hour days in a new school. Every day was a practice in faith. Small gifts of unexpected joy came from a cup of coffee, laughter with my students, and having a Unity […]
When we acknowledge there is ONLY one Power in the Universe – God, the Good, the Omnipotent. Nothing and no one can take away our good or our inheritance of grace. There is only one way that anything could have power over the Higher Consciousness of Love, and that is if we give it power […]
Back in 2005, I was teaching my first year at low income school in South Carolina. Every day felt like one more step into my own prison. I had loved teaching in Pennsylvania for the last 12 years, but here, there was too much stress, too much demand, and too little time. I was […]

The future loomed large, but instead of researching answers, she found herself spending a few hours googling beach retreats. Guilt ridden, she said, “Maybe I’m just trying to run away from my problems and my family. Everyone is getting […]
It doesn’t take much. I have my plans for the day, and then something unexpected comes up and all my little “plans” go out the window. This used to throw me into a tailspin, depending on how big the change. And nothing hit harder than when it came to my pocketbook. A client would cancel […]
I wish I could say I always took the high road, but I’d be lying. When someone says something that I feel is an attack, or tries to make me feel less than, my impulse is to educate them (loudly) about all the ways they’re screwing up. Needless to say, they don’t hear me, and […]
“Joy is truly the greatest threat to the separated self, for it comes from union.” A Course of Love “I just want you to be happy.” Isn’t that what we tell those we love? Isn’t that what we tell ourselves? That we just want to be happy? And yet, when circumstances conform to our liking, […]
