Dear Friend, here is an article that I wrote awhile back.  It’s one of my favorites.  I thought I would share it with you as we approach the New Year.  I hope you enjoy it. – – – – – It is deep winter and it has been very cold up north.  There is lots…

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas full of good cheer, and the peace of Christ.  If you are also full of food, let me say: if you overate yesterday, I have some suggestions. Appreciate: Say thanks to God for your life, and for your family and beloved friends. Have enough: Appreciate what you have,…

There, in the undercurrent of everything, is Spirit. There, behind you, is the Playful One. There, above, below, and deep inside is the Higher Powerful Force. Therein, even in the darkest problems, the most extreme pain and suffering, lies the Divine.  There, in that surrender of your self-hatred, your excess fat, even your lack of energy,…

Merry Christmas.  I hope you’re having a wonderful day, and that the peace of God on earth, Jesus Christ, is with you.  If you’re not Christian – no problem – I send my love to you and everyone. We’d probably all love to hear what hopes, joys, challenges and gratitude you are experiencing this Christmas Day,…

I would love to share with you this message from the Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox Christian Church, for North America, His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios.  I find it quite beautiful, and the point of why we are celebrating Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ. – – – – – Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,…

There are the standard accoutrements, such as colored lights (some blinking, others just…

With all the flurry of Christmas shopping and the stress of excess of the season, it may be tempting to escape the “civilized world” and retreat, just to find some peace and be alone with God.  After all, Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, right?  It’s about love and joy, no?  Don’t…

As we wrap up our holiday shopping, let me give those last-minute shoppers (like myself) a good gift tip.  This one is really easy, involves no trips to stores, or parking.  You don’t even need to shop online. Best of all, it doesn’t cost money.  Yet, this is one of the most valuable gifts anyone…

Here we are in the holiday season.  It’s come so fast, I can’t believe it.  Yet, as always, Hanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Years are so wonderful, I want to take time to really cherish every moment, as it will be over soon. As I write this, I remind myself that what I love about…

I was in New York again over the weekend.  Our son took me to a very hip and cool burger place.  They sell mini burgers.  Here’s one: It was oh-so-delicious, but only about 4 bites!  They sell two of them for $7.50.  Pretty pricey, I say.  A good idea, though, for those of us who…
