Everything Possible
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
Children are like little sponges who soak up the environmental essence that surrounds them. Joyfully, if they are immersed in love and nurturing, they grow and thrive, their brilliant colors emerging from them. Sadly (and sometimes tragically), if they are immersed in criticism, derision and violence whether verbal or phyisical, they may fail to thrive…
Spring Awakening
By

The spring equinox – when the sun is positioned directly over the Earth’s equator– will occur at 1:14 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday March 20th…a few hours from now. Most humans (and certainly the one writing this entry) are fascinated with thresholds from one season to the next, one state of being and awareness from another. Perhaps…
May The Grace

Music has the capacity to transcend borders, boundaries, religion and reason, touching places that words alone are unable to reach. That may sound strange coming from a wordsmith. Perhaps a better way to say it is that words blended with music are that much richer, fuller and juicier in their expression. It’s hard to…
The Red Thread of Fate
By

Tonight I happened to tune into a new show, while pedaling away on the ellliptical at the gym. It is called Touch and stars Kiefer Sutherland as the widowed father of an 11 year boy who is not verbal but who communicates with numbers and notes patterns and connections as a result. My kind…
The Price You Pay
By

Each day when we awaken, we are faced with 1440 minutes in which to live; 24 hours x 60 minutes. We are given a choice about what to do with that time. We can squander it by complaining about how hard life is or we can embrace it by celebrating even the tiniest wonders.…
John The Beloved Apostle
By

The broadly grinning man with a knowing laugh, as if he gets the cosmic joke, stood in front of the room at Circle of Miracles, filled with folks who were listening, fascinated as he wove stories about being an actor/action hero; a whip cracking, sword yielding spiritual renegade. According to his website “As a professional…
Get Wet

Sitting in my favorite office away from home in Doylestown, PA called The Zen Den, sipping a cup of soy chai served in a terra cotta colored mug….breathing in the sweet aroma. Whenever I go there, I always run into friends. Today it was Ken, Charlie, Tina and Bill. I have known Bill Bloom…
Light Seeds

I met this delightful sprite of a woman at Circle Of Miracles a month or so ago, when she accompanied her friend John Davis who came to our community as a speaker. I was moved by the passion and enthusiasm she embodied and knew I needed to find out what was behind it. She…
Play In The Possibility
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
I read this post by Facebook friend Marianne St. Clair and the ideas tickled me. “What are you wanting to create in your life? A new career or job? Then today Play IN the Possibility of you already having it. Jump in the vortex of the job. Talk to people who would be your associates…
Half The Sky
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
I remember when I was in college reading the words “Women hold up half the sky.” What that meant to this budding feminist who marched for the ERA (which got defeated in part, because of a silly notion that it would mean shared public restrooms), was that we as a gender were as vital as…
