Oops! 🤭 Up On The Roof 🎶

Oops 🤭 Up On The Roof 🎶 🌅 In early Spring, before mosquitoes arrive, I find solace on the smaller second story deck of my home. On my left, I hear the sweet sound of birdsong. On my right, is the rush of traffic on the nearby street. It’s a dance between calm and chaos—as it is for most of us. 

Memory and Mindfullness 🙋‍♀️

Memory & Mindfulness 🙋‍♀️ ☔️ Rumbles of thunder. Downpour of rain, Soaking long dry soil. Earth drinks in the blessing. Thunder's power awakens the soil, Erupting in flowers dancing. 🌷  

Spark of the Divine 🔥 Bring your light wherever it's needed

Spark of the Divine 🔥 “O nobly born!” I came across this statement while filing away some handwritten notes for a class. This is how the Buddha addressed those who came to him—regardless of their social standing. As the phrase persisted, it felt like a lovely way to greet you and remind you of the spark of divinity...

New Years Message 🌟 MEET YOUR INNER VISIONARY 🙋‍♀️

New Year's Message 🌟 ☕️ This morning I woke before sunrise. As I sipped coffee and headed to the shower, I asked for some words of wisdom—thoughts to share with you.

🌠Please note this change!

🌠 Please Note This Change: ❄️ I'm postponing (and condensing) The Gifts of Winter class. With recent snow and frigid temps here I'm canceling the Dec. 4 class, and teaching just one session on Thurs., Dec. 11. When making decisions like this, I often consult the I Ching (Book of Changes). I asked the advisability of the D...

Celestial Greetings ✨⭐️✨ Giving Thanks

Celestial Greetings ✨⭐️✨ ❄️ The first hard freeze in St. Louis quickly dropped all the leaves on my catalpa trees. With leaves over 12” long, these gentle giants landed softly, carpeting my lawn and sidewalks. Other trees here, and throughout the city, yet boast vibrant, exotic shades of fall. 

Autumn Enchantment 🍁Immerse Yourself In Life's Mysteries 🌟

Autumn Enchantment 🍁 👻 Long before it was called the  "hallowed eve of All Saint's Day", the concept of Halloween began as an ancient, Celtic tradition. From Ireland to Brittany, the Celts celebrated Samhain (SOW-in) as the time when the veil between the mortal and immortal worlds was most transparent. Thus ...

Joy, Contentment, Gratitude 😁

Joy, Contentment & Gratitude 😁 😉 I love gathering the wisdom of others through the ages. Recently I came across this favorite bit of wit from the 17th century physician Thomas Sydenham. The arrival of a good clown exercises more beneficial influence upon the health of a town than 200 asses laden with drugs.

Embrace Your Life's Purpose 🤗 Enjoy True Happiness 😁

Embrace Your Life's Purpose 🤗 🤪 Swami Beyondananda (self-proclaimed master of Joke-Jitsu) tells this story of Abraham Lincoln: Upon being accused by a critic of being two-faced, Lincoln replied, “If I had two faces, would I be using this one?” Talk about being self-effacing--and disarming!
