Rejoice!

Having been raised a Catholic during the 1950s I was always fascinated with the story of the resurrection. I was taught to believe that we will all be reborn and I marveled over that possibility….

“Imagine”, I thought, “never really dying? Imagine, our spirits living on forever? Imagine never having to say goodbye to our parents or grandparents?” And “Imagine what it would be like knowing that one day we will all be together again?” The possibility provoked deep thoughts and filled me with hope.

Grief – A Necessary Ingredient

No one enjoys grieving – that’s a given, but if you stop to think about it – grieving does play a necessary and important role in the death and healing process.

Losing a loved one, whether an animal or person, is a shock to our system. Whether their death was sudden and unexpected or slow and expected, it is a shock to our system.

To Focus or Not To Focus

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times.

What you focus on grows, and while there may be some truth to that, we offer this different perspective…

Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus

I wonder if you have ever read this story?

If you haven’t, please do. If you have, then you will most likely enjoy reading it again.

This is my favorite story in the whole wide world.

Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus.

Home for the Holidays

“There’s no place like home for the holidays and no matter how far away you roam, if you want to be happy in a million ways, for the holidays you can’t beat home sweet home.”

I love that sentiment. Come to think of it – who will you be hosting this holiday season? Will your table include a place setting for your dearly departed loved ones? If that thought has not yet crossed your mind please allow me to share with you…

Thankful for Connections

Me & Ma Softened

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like if you were eternally accompanied by someone who loves you as deeply as you love him or her? Someone who ‘has your back’ and is always available to provide advice and guidance?

I am here to tell you – it is heavenly… literally and figuratively!

Who’s Teaching Whom?

‘Who’s teaching whom?’ That is the question of this month.

As we prepare to return to school and step into the spirit of academia once again, I wonder if it has ever crossed your mind as to who is teaching whom? I’m referring, specifically, to schooling with spirit.

Freedom of Expression ~ Wave Your Flag

We love waving our flags as much as the next ‘guy’.

We love celebrating and we welcome every reason to do so.

Most of all we love connecting and communicating with you – those in the here and now… our loved ones in form.

But here’s our struggle (this is where we get stuck.)…

Where is Mary in All of This?

Mary, the mother of all mothers.

Mary, the bearer of truth.

Where is she within you?

Flying is a Choice

What do you think accounts for the difference between flying and remaining in place, happiness and misery, success and failure, health and illness?

This question does not have a simple answer.

There are a zillion factors that affect our attitudes and vulnerability to include what we have inherited to what we have picked up along the way.

This conversation has been going on for centuries, and general consensus boils down to everything is within our control. To fly, or remain in place, be happy or miserable, achieve success or failure, enjoy good health or not… are choices we make.
