So much to do — is there ever enough time?
Wednesday, 01 February 2017
Age old question, not confined to today’s fast paced life we live in. It is a matter of getting the mind organized with tasks and priorities. And then………..there is something else. The something else is our desires and passions for doing what it is that we believe is ours to do in this lifetime. Each

The Struggles Within
Monday, 05 December 2016
There is no such thing as a life that doesn’t know angst, sadness, and despair. These experiences are part of the human condition and every bit of this portion of our journey is an opportunity to learn something new and behave in a manner that takes us to an uplifted place. The reality about our

Why people recoil
Thursday, 10 November 2016
We’ve all had the experience of feeling drawn to another and then having them disappear, evaporate, just sink away from us….and then we wonder. Was it my breath? Something I said? What did I do to push them away from me? Relax. Sometimes this is a function of the person being drawn elsewhere, and other
Love is always present for us
Tuesday, 08 December 2015
Love is forever present, it is all around us. We merely need to be open to it and believe that it is there, that it is good and we that we can touch it. And yet, somehow, we seem to move all around it. We flirt and play and fall deep and enjoy it, and then

The Bridge Between Hearts: The Self Correcting Love Affair
Monday, 21 September 2015
When we enter a new relationship we carry along with us the rich history that has been our life and that has shaped our story. We come complete with a perspective that influences not only our every thought and feeling but each breath. We get lost in the vast space that is our mind, wandering

Engagement–do you have it or are you looking?
Monday, 03 August 2015
Whether you are talking about social media, speaking gigs, or wanting love in your life [in the way of romance or friendships], it all comes down to the issue of connection and that means engagement. If you don’t get it, you are sitting there all by yourself. We long for connection to others, for others to hear
Did you get hurt in the heart?
Friday, 17 July 2015
I recently posted a rather innocent question on Facebook and have been taken aback a the great responses it elicited. It is good to know how much people care and to also know that people are reading. However, that same post also got people guessing, with great confidence, about who my person was that I

Love Affairs
Friday, 15 May 2015
We shouldn’t deny it, everybody wants to fall in love in their life. Some people want to fall in love over and again and feel the passion of life in a multitude of ways and have the love affair be as much with life itself as it is with a life partner. All understandable. The thing about

Tears and joy all in one day
Monday, 11 May 2015
The day began as I departed from St Louis at dawn and drove to my home town of Chicago. Some people think the drive a horrid one, I love it. I am on the open road, enjoying the countryside, the old farms, the big sky, the rising sun, and the quiet. I trust my time
