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 […]
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 […]
I know, I know. In a world that values action, inaction can seem like self-sabotage. At the very least, it feels incredibly wrong and indicative of losing out in some way. Inaction is uncomfortable. It makes us squirm and worry over what we’re not doing or should be doing or are doing wrong. Oh, […]
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 […]

Like the rabbit in the Tortoise and the Hare, our minds are always going full boar, racing ahead toward the finish line to get more done. We feel almost a sinister pleasure as we pass that car, fit in one more errand, or write one last email – as if we beat the opponent of […]
“Acceptance does not require any action, but it will lead to action that is consistent with who you are when you are fully comfortable in your acceptance of who you are.” A Course of Love Another text, another email, and still no answer. I just hired someone to help with my business, someone whom, […]
I woke up with a heavy heart – again. I hated this sadness. Hated that I didn’t feel more grateful for my life. There were so many things I could be grateful for, but every time I tried to pull gratitude out of the bag, it never reached my heart. “It’s the way I’m seeing […]
Recently a friend and I were talking about family and the drama that often accompanies the holidays. “I’m getting better at detaching,” she said, “but it’s hard not to feel responsible with family.” It’s true.
