Ahhhhhh The World……Lord God, You made it. Beautiful and Frightening in its own way That there can be moments of beautyRight next to moments of uglinessIn the same roomExisting in the same space Moments of joyCoexisting with moments of fearIn the same boxIn the same closetIn the same nooks and crannies of our hearts How…
Scripture: “If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,…
38 years ago today, a deranged man walked up to perhaps the most talented singer/songwriter there ever was….and blew him away in the doorway of his NY City apartment building. Time stopped for me that day. It was the first death that I experienced of a loved one. The first time I was personally affected…
Today, in Yoga class, I was given a “truth bomb” card. It came from a stack of cards with various messages on them. The one that I got today blew my mind- because it was PERFECT for where I am right now in my journey. It said this: “Pleasure is Power”. I shared this thought…
I remember this time last year….we had recently returned from our amazing and sun filled trip to St. John- which was healing and spiritual and wonderful.

“God, Grant me the Serenity- To accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can. And the wisdom to know the difference……” This is a prayer that I say MULTIPLE times a day. I learned it a little over nine years ago from some very wise friends who walked…
Next to my bed, I have a Wall of Inspiration. It reminds me of things that I believe…..on days when my unbelief threatens to assault the beautiful things that I know to be true. One of the things that hangs on this wall is an empty frame. It is there to remind me that they…
I used to think I was not a morning person…… For the longest time- probably from the time I started school- I HATED waking up. I woke up angry most of the time, annoyed and bitter that my warm, safe cocoon of bedcovers, pillows and dreams was being invaded by the demands of going somewhere.…
Today is my Sabbath. A new concept for me that I am trying to honor, but one that actually goes back thousands of years. The meaning of the word centers around the idea of rest and worship- a time to renew, re-connect and restore. With our Creator, with ourselves, with our joys and passions.…
