Our world is currently an extremely violent place. There are ongoing conflicts in up to 40 regions. Russia has been pummeling Ukraine for almost 3 years. Israel and Hamas are at war with too many innocent civilians murdered in both wars. In the United States, mass shootings have been on the rise, particularly in schools where innocent children have been killed and injured. Western commentators have logged only 268 years of peace in a span of 3400 years. It is estimated that a

Imagine for a moment that in the 20th and 21st centuries there has been a critical mass of leaders of nations around the world who are...

I love humanity. I love Mother Earth. I love to be in service to the healing of this world in cosmically chaotic times. At least once a day, I walk my dog, a Puggle named Loki, in the sweet residential neighborhoods of Del Ray in Alexandria, Virginia where I live. I always greet and smile at passersby. It is one way I acknowledge the goodness that I know is deep within every single human being, no matter their challenges and shadows. Yes, there are people all around the world

If you have ever had a sense that you are launching onto a new and more promising path in your life after being blocked or burdened for years with multiple challenges that always seem to get in the way of thriving, you are experiencing a shift in your destiny lines.

How can we even begin to speak of peace? Where is the love that will heal hatred? These questions are always close to me—intoned constantly by my inner voice as I unceasingly quest within for the fire of love that will overcome darkness. Where is the answer? Yesterday, a friend and I ambled along the Tidal Basin of the Potomac River in Washington, DC, the site of thousands of cherry trees, all with their flowers at peak bloom. Many of the trees were a gift in 1912 from the Pe

When Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, in his powerful and inspiring speech to the United States joint chambers of Congress on December 21, 202, noted that Russians must “defeat the Kremlin in their minds,” I resonated deeply with it. I felt its truth going far beyond the way the Russian government continues to manipulate and oppress its own people and deceive them about the invasion of Ukraine. The “Kremlin in the mind” is arises out of a wounded ego sickness that a

I am going to be real here. I am grieving, depressed, frustrated, overwhelmed, and feel helpless. I have brain fog and alternate from these emotions to being numb. I have several times in the past few weeks lifted my fingers over my laptop keyboard to write, but have felt empty of words. This is a serious sign that I am not doing well, as I am always and ever a wordsmith in the flow of insight and inspiration. But this morning, as I read the newspaper, I knew I had to just ge

Yep, this planet is can be a hard, hard place to live. Sometimes when I am feeling weighed down by personal challenges and/or by the many horrible things happening around the world, with my face pointed upward as if to heaven, I say, “You try living down here!” I am speaking to all those beings in other dimensions and domains outside this physical space-time continuum whom I believe are “out there” assisting us—though such assistance may seem at times nonexistent or ineffect
