Major League Wonderful
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
“God disguised as myriad things, and playing a game of tag, has kissed you and said, “You’re it./ I mean you’re really it. Now it does not matter what you believe or feel. For something wonderful, something major-league wonderful, is someday going to happen.”- Hafiz Poetry has the power to inspire, delight, inform and…
Sunshine Sister
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
On October 13th, I celebrated my 52nd Birthday in a room filled with creative, passionate, powerful women who were re-creating themselves in ways large and small. The conductor of the train we were all aboard delightfully dedicated as The Molly Sunshine Tour, is a woman with what I think of as ‘grounded Tigger energy’.…
Skating Through Life
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
Stash Serafin came into my life in the late 80’s or early 90’s, if memory serves. What moved me the most about him was how he literally moved through the world with heart wide open and a glowing smile on his face. All these years later, that hasn’t changed. What has changed is the…
Miracle Walk With SARK
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
One of my favorite creative souls has an acronym as her nom de plume (pen name:). Susan Ariel Rainbow Kennedy (a.k.a. SARK) has delighted people with her fanciful words, practical life wisdom and simple, outrageously colorful line drawings. She, who encourages the world to ‘live juicy’ has been a prime inspiration for the evolution…
Giving and Receiving
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
We are taught that it is better to give than to receive. How can there be a giver if there is no receiver? Allow for the flow of both in your life. This is an abundant place in which we live and the Universe is waiting to offer you the gifts that have your…
Music As Medicine
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
I grew up in home in which music was ever-present. My mother had been in a choir in high school and would often burst into song…silly, sublime, sweet…it mattered not. She just enjoyed the ability to vocalize. About my father, I would say that what he may have lacked in talent, he made up…
Even Though
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
Often I find myself in situations in which I need to question my version of reality. In addition to being a writer, speaker and interfaith minister, I work in a psychiatric hospital, serving people with various mental health diagnoses. From them, I have learned the power of resilience, survival through life challenges, surrender and…
Yokibics
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
A few months ago, I had the serendipitous joy of meeting a woman who embodies bliss. Gael Chiarella Alba RYT – HYT – describes herself as an “author, speaker, spoken word artist, happy camper, founder of Yokibics.” I had taken a class at a new yoga studio in my area and was immediately drawn…
Creativity Doctor
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
Imagine going to see a doctor who after meeting with you, writes you a prescription that instructs you to sing, dance, make music, drum, draw, write, sculpt, paint, and especially color outside the lines? Would a smile light up your face? I know it would do that for me. Such is the gift of…
Made of Love
By
Edie Weinstein, MSW, LSW
Build a life made of love. When we are born, we are sent to this Earth plane with a bag of tools for the purpose of constructing a life. We might think of them as standard issue. The good news is, they can be used as often as needed and they will always be…
