Walking the Labyrinth…
I welcome and let go of fear… I welcome and let go of pride… I welcome and let go of the need to be right… I welcome and let go of self-righteousness… I welcome and let go of focusing on all that’s wrong… I welcome and let go of the need to control… so… you……

what a trip…
So here I am, 7 weeks after training to be a Spiritual Director and I actually get to sit with people in the sacred space of Holy Listening. What an incredible gift! I listen different. I see different. I am different. The world seems different. Less scary. More whole. I’m less judgemental. More compassionate. Less…

Meaningful moments❤
It is true that folks can make marriage, parenting, and friendships look so smooth, graceful, and glamorous…well …all I want to say is “good luck with that”. Relationships in general aren’t for the faint of heart. It takes real people to get up, show up, and at times shut up so that you can see…

What are you GRATEFUL for?
I am reminded of the Bible story of a nation who was forced to abort their children. The midwives, however, did not arrive in time to execute the orders from Pharoah. One mother, Jochebed, chose to send her baby down the river hoping to save his life. His life was indeed saved by a woman…

Martha and Mary
In the past I looked at Martha as busy and distracted and Mary as peaceful and in-tune. Today I see them both in a different way. I see Martha as hospitable so she practices doing for Christ and Mary as contemplative so she practices being with Christ. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with either stance.…

20 years…
20 years is a long time, but if I live to be 100 then I will have experienced 80 years of sobriety! I sure hope to see 100❤.How many years do you have left to experience life through a sober lens? It may seem like hell in the beginning, but I assure you, with your…

Chaos?
This painting hangs in the office of an eye dr. I can’t help but see how chaotic it seems until I really look at it. I see the face, then notice the hands. I am also aware that I see chaos in the lives of others, but am I willing to pause, pay attention, and…

Justice for George…
Justice for George Floyd! PLEASE!!! My heart breaks. This is never ok. Our black brothers/sisters matter too. I agree with MKL Jr as he explained 53 years ago, ‘A riot is the language of the unheard.’ So perhaps we should learn to listen better, learn to be attentive to the needs of others, learn to…

Detachment
Today, Ruth and I (Sam) released an episode that speaks to those who are in need of true detachment. I hope you will listen here and share with those who are on a similar journey with you. May you be enriched as you discover the exchange that is offered when we stop hoarding and release…

Healing Meditation
I have often heard that centering prayer has many healing benefits, but I don’t think I really thought about the physical aspects of it. Yesterday, I dug a small trench in our back yard to divert water around our garage due to all the rain we have had lately. This morning I woke up with…

A Safe Place To Land
Spiritual friendship has been quite a unique adventure for me. It has aided me in much of my spiritual growth. When I met Ruth it was an instant attraction. I had never met anyone who laughed with their whole body like I had…or was it, that at our initial meeting, the spirit of God leaped…

Life Is Precious
I sat near the pool for 30 minutes. I took a few deep breaths and could feel my body settle into a comfortable space. Meditation music played softly so I could keep time without having to look at the clock. The sounds of nature were much louder than the music, so the music helped me…

Book & Post: Mary Magdalene…
The more I study Mary Magdalene, I see her as a committed disciple even in very trying circumstances. Was it love for her Lord that caused her to stay throughout the crucifixion and burial? Or did she know something the others did not? I believe it could be both. Love begets love and the love…
