I can visualize it now--my son, daughter-in-law, and my two young grandchildren walking that ever-so-long hallway at the airport--I can see them coming--I can hardly wait! I am filled with Joy! And then my arms are filled with hugs! I have happy tears. My heart is overflowing with love. Just thinking about it: my heart is overflowing with love. I can hardly wait. But I have to wait one month. That's okay. We will look at the moon and "our big bright star." I can hardly wait f

Do you ever have that feeling that your life is falling apart? You know things aren't going well. This isn't what you expected or hoped for. You're overwhelmed and don't know which way to turn. You don't know which choice you need to make. Is this what life is all about? Things fall apart. Things come back together, although perhaps not as they once were. It's like a cycle or the circle of life. Endings aren't usually happy times, but the Beginnings are happy and oftentimes

"Throughout the day I pause to empty my mind of stress and to invite Spirit to fill my heart." (Daily Word, Unity, June 10, 2016) Over the past 11 months I have recited this saying over and over again to myself. But sometimes I struggle to remind myself to pause and to breathe and to let go of stress and to invite Spirit to fill my heart. Pause......... Breathe.......... Have you found that sometimes it's just not very easy to pause or to empty your mind of stress or to rem

"I have a divine purpose in life, a work that is mine to do. In prayer, I contemplate the purpose that will bring joy and fulfillment to my soul, one that will enable me to grow and to support others in their inner transformation as well."

"Yeah, what do ya want?" Seems to oftentimes be the greeting on the phone or across the counter at a store, or even in the doctor's office. And that is really NOT okay. What has happened to treating all people with respect and dignity? What has happened to just being polite? What has happened to taking the time to politely listen, not to their entire life's story, but to listen to their excitement, accomplishments, pain, sadness, or worry? And to be supportive? All of these q

"I am here, let me live. I am here, let me dream. Let me grow, let me become." Excerpt from Aflame by: Steven Charleston, Member of the Choctaw Nation Retired American Episcopal Bishop Monday

I've been asked that very question numerous times by children, and sometimes by adults. And sometimes it can be a hard question to answer. I mean, how old are you? Is it my age in numbers? I'm not sure I feel like my numbers age. Maybe I can compare my age to the Giant Sequoias, which can live to over 3,000 years. In that case, I am just a tiny baby. But I guess, it might work better, for comparison sake, if I focus on people and our ages. I started thinking about age, becaus

"In my experience, there is no way we can express gratitude without that very act elevating our feelings of well-being and bringing us joy."

The last 10 months have been challenging, and the last two months have been VERY stressful! I keep trying to calm myself, and to not be or get too stressed out. But as you probably know, that is sometimes easier said than done. Breathe........ Pray without ceasing........... My husband was diagnosed with a perforated appendix last June, which required hospitalization and antibiotics. Per the doctors, his body was doing what it was supposed to do, with the help of antibiotics,

"Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the important work." C.S. Lewis Monday Moments are designed to encourage you to take a moment to pause and ponder. Edie Savage-Weeks Transformational Life Coach ediesavageweeks.com

Does your imagination set you free, or does it hold you captive with drama and trauma from which you try to escape? Your imagination is a powerful tool that can be used to heal, create, dream, solve world problems, transcend your day-to-day reality, be courageous, and brave enough to step outside your comfort zone. Your imagination can also be used to forge an emotional and physical prison, most often based upon your past history of trauma and fears, and/or the world's trauma

Children are our future. We've probably all heard that saying. And yet, children are dying by the thousands in our world today because of war, starvation, lack of adequate medical care, abuse, pre-term birth, firearm injuries, mental health and violence (suicide and homicide), drug overdose, and vehicle accidents. These children are experiencing horrendous trauma. My heart aches for the children and their families. We've gotten used to and numb to the suffering in our world.

"Don't leave anything for later. Later, the coffee gets cold. Later, you lose interest. Later, the day turns into night. Later, people grow up. Later, people get old. Later, life goes by.

You were, you really were created to shine! Sometimes we forget that we were created to shine, and we start listening to our own inner critic, we compare ourselves to others, and we listen to what other people say about us. We need to remember: "Any critical thoughts about myself are like mud covering a brilliant gem." (Daily Word, Unity, August 13, 2015) Each person is unique. We sometimes forget that, too. We try to be like other people in whatever way we think would make u

Do you see yourself as a creator? Not THE Creator, but a creator or a co-creator with the Infinite, with God. If we pause and think for a few minutes, we must acknowledge that each one of us is a creator. We create stories, adventures, baked goods, friendships, a home, lesson plans, artwork, creative centers, youth hostels, sanctuaries for animals, medicine, music, plays, communication, quilts, clothing, all walks of employment are a form of creation, games, "the quad jump,"
