Blessings Abound

This morning I woke up feeling grateful.  I had slept well on a good bed.  This is a great blessing.  I looked out the windows and saw trees and sky.  These, too, are great blessings.  My body felt well.  I was not sick or in pain.  This is a tremendous blessing.  I am alive and…

I haven’t been feeling up to par lately.  It’s nothing serious, it’s just allergies from something or other growing or blossoming right now in Colorado.  But my energy has been so low.  I’ve been exceedingly tired.  Last night during meditation the insight that I got was to stop resisting the tiredness (Oh, I should be…

When it comes to work, I think we can possibly divide workers into two categories: those who feel safest working for someone else, and those who prefer to be self-employed.   Actually there might be a third category: those who would prefer to be self-employed but are a little too nervous to try it.

Most of us here in the U.S. grew up within the tradition of a monotheistic faith which worshipped a Father God.  Have you heard of the concept of a Mother God?  If so, do you remember the context in which you first heard about it?  How did you feel about it?  How do you feel…

A little over a month ago, Heidi slept with me.  Tonight, Lizzie is going to sleep in my room, but I won’t let her sleep in my bed. No, it’s not what you’re thinking.  Heidi and Lizzie are dogs. When I was dogsitting a month ago, I was so tickled when beautiful red-haired Heidi decided…

Do you remember the last time you lost track of time?  Do you remember when you were so involved in whatever you were doing that the very notion of time faded from your consciousness?  Take note of when this happens because these are the things you might want to do more often!!!   Conversely, you…

Many people disregard the importance of dreams.  They may think of them as a crazy, mixed up, subconscious unraveling of the day’s events.  Often they pay them no attention whatsoever, except perhaps when they have a vivid nightmare or a dream that occurs over and over again.  But even then many are likely to discount…
