I feel like many of the people who follow this blog are spiritually minded, empathic, lightworkers, healers and peace loving people. I like to think that you read my posts to look for insight into life and living as a better person. I try to share my own experiences in exploring spiritual growth and self-awareness. I occasionally get a bit ranty about social injustice, but for the most part it has been an introspective journey. [ 622 more words ]

A little while ago, I overheard a conversation between two people about holiday shopping. They were lamenting the running around and deciding what to get and how much they were spending and THEN getting it all wrapped up and ready to go. One of them commented at the end of the conversation, "It really almost ruins Christmas, you know?" The other person solemnly agreed. [ 260 more words ]

I have a few requests for you all... 1. Please, PLEASE VOTE. Don't think that your vote doesn't matter, because if it was going to matter in any election, it does now. I am not going to tell you who to vote for, but please just do it. Need a ride? Find a friend to give you one, search your area for one of the free services giving voters rides to the polls.

Like a drop of water spreads ripples out to touch shores beyond its reach, each good deed, each kind act, each small gift of healing can ripple out to touch lives beyond our small pool of influence. Hatred has had the upper hand for far too long. Reach out today and do one good thing, no matter how small ... a healing touch, a smile, a prayer, a positive thought ... and start the ripples of kindness spreading out.

"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." ~Leo Buscaglia

Peace and love to Orlando and our LGBT friends.

I spent the last few weeks trying to adjust my focus a bit. The constant barrage of violence, suffering, and hateful politics had kind of reached a point for me where my already elevated stress levels were reaching overload. I needed some good news, and maybe a lot of it. The arrival of the Christian season of Lent was my inspiration for… [ 353 more words. ]

The smell of sage fills the air and you hear the gentle sound of massage oil being warmed in your therapist's hands. The pains of age, the throbbing from your overstressed muscles, the sheer need to be touched -- all cry out for therapeutic hands to start their work. [ 59 more words. ]
