Everyday Spirituality

The human psyche is indeed an enigma, an alien of sorts. Therefore, it is no wonder I feel a draw to study spirituality.

Because Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music were two of my favorite movies, I took to reading the book: Home: A Memoir of My Early Years, by Julie Andrews. But, this is after years of preferring to know Mary Poppins and Maria the nun, more than Julie Andrews. In her book, Home, I was…

An excerpt from the Abridged version of the chapter explaining healing. Click here for full text.

Why can’t we feel as though we have friends we can rely on? This question was answered somewhat after…

Three thousand miles away, our daughters are walking around outside amongst flowers and blooming trees, while we are bundling up in Carhart® winter clothes before walking outside into the falling snow. My hope for springtime is not dashed though. I know spring will come. It can’t be stopped. Just like love and life can’t be…
