Are you one of the 10 million people watching, and loving, this new TV show? I wake up with the theme, message and/or metaphor in my head and heart when it’s time to blog. Today it was This Is Us. Have you noticed the sheer number of topics covered each week that focus on acceptance?…

People tend to use the term “soul mate” loosely, generalizing its meaning to describe someone who they feel connected to or deeply in love with. All of those can describe a soul mate relationship; however, not everyone we have these feelings for is a soul mate. By the same regard, we do not fall in…

“There are so many times you have been with me, and yet I have not seen you. I feel touched, moved, overwhelmed inside this little heart of mine by the guide you have been so long—an angel so present on this earth, so alive within me, so much a part of me,” I wrote from…

Gatwick airport is our home for the morning… We came here early and I have four hours in one of my favourite venues… An airport! I have always loved this inbetween world that I experience here and on a plane… As I journey onwards and inwards, I recognise that this reflects for me finding the fulcrum in…

Struck by these lines from The Last Temptation of Christ movie I watched almost 20 years ago, I wrote them down: “The dual substance of Christ—the yearning, so human, so superhuman, of man to attain God…has always been a deep inscrutable mystery to me. My principle anguish and source of all my joys and sorrows…

Are we harboring hidden memories and pain from previous life times? It may appear we have only come into this world for the first time, but it’s possible we have lived before. The concept of reincarnation has existed for millennia, in both Western and Eastern philosophies. The theory that the soul reincarnates into different physical…

I woke up this morning with baby fresh skin—or that’s how it felt. The crumbling, old layers of skin, fraught with fear and uncertainly, shed themselves in my sleep after hours of writing chapters in my novel last night. I woke with less pain than I had had for days, and I attributed it to…

“The last rays of autumn, before winter’s claustrophobia, force me to find hope elsewhere,” I wrote in my journal almost twenty years ago in my parents’ house in New Jersey. It’s ironic to look this far back into the past and track my writing of a similar season as now, here in New Mexico, where…
