Lately I have been feeling adrift on a sea of ‘just don’t know’ in nearly every area of my life, from work to health, to relationships. It seems like I am buffeted about by the literal and symbolic winds of change, not sure on which shore I will land. While it can be exhilarating, it…

What if what we truly desire is as close as our thoughts?  How about the idea that our minds are like Velcro dartboards, or as I like to call them ‘heartboards’ that attract what we focus on? Over the years, I have marveled about the things I have intended that have come to be a here…

  A meme gone viral, that reads like an instructional manual for life is called Dear Human. Written by the inimitable Courtney A. Walsh, it speaks to the wondering wanderer in each of us. The disenfranchised aspects of ourselves that long to be welcomed back in and fully integrated. The fanciful fantasizer who conjures up…

The cardiac muscle that pumps blood through our bodies is essential for our survival. There are times when it functions magnificently without a glitch or a hitch. There are others when it skips beats or ceases altogether. It is in those moments when we count life precious. For this heart forward woman who experienced a…

    Earlier in the year, I was introduced to a local equine rescue farm called Safe Haven. Owned and lovingly maintained by my friend Kate Goldenberg, it is where race horses go to retire from that career and learn new skills for other roles. My friends Kim, Sherry and Eric volunteer at the site, offering…

On Sunday, I sat in services at Circle of Miracles which is an interfaith community of which I have been part since 2001. Each week, inspired speakers share their wisdom and experience with us.

Lately, I have become even more acutely aware of the fragility of life and the tenuousness of what ties us to it.  In my lifetime, I have said goodbye to my grandmothers, my husband and my parents, as well as a few friends. I have let go of relationships; romantic and otherwise. Some people have…

In the past few days, events in my life have felt tumbled and tossed, necessitating regaining my footing, calling on family and friends for emotional support and guidance, and even more importantly, my deep and abiding faith that all is in Divine Order. A job that I began more than a year ago, ran its…

It’s the news no one wants to hear. “Due to cost cutting measures, your position has been eliminated.”  A job that I had been recruited for and dove into for more than a year, is no longer. My initial reaction was a mild emotional freak-out that turned into a sense of knowing that all is…

One of my greatest joys in my role as an interfaith minister, is officiating at weddings. Although I have lost count, I estimate that I have married over 300 couples since being ordained in 1999. Mixed gender and same sex couples have walked down the aisle toward the altar and together, we have sealed the…
