Practice being fictional
“And you too have come into the world to go easy, to be filled with light and to shine.”—Mary Oliver My daughter, Taz, is such a genius. Even though she no longer has a body, she’s able to send the most miraculous signs and messages my way. And that’s saying something since her mom, me, […]
222 Forever: A revolution in consciousness
“What we need now is more people who specialize in the impossible.”–Theodore Roethke Happy 222, my brilliant, beautiful friends! As you know, today is the always-auspicious day where we celebrate Taz by picking a project with the vision and the chutzpah to radically shift how we see the world. I’m overjoyed to announce this year’s […]
Holiness is your superpower
“I want this now to be the now where we save our place, your place, our earth.”—Louise Erdrich Do you feel it? The powerful shift in consciousness? Not only have we just entered the Year of the Water Tiger which encourages each of us to take big risks, but it’s the 2nd month of the […]
When your reality gets out of control
“To be empowered—to be free, to be unlimited, to be creative, to be genius, to be divine—that is who you really are.”—Joe Dispenza So I’m back from Mexico after a month of mountain hikes, glorious mighty companions (that’s what we Course students call each other) and lots of fresh air, fresh food and fresh ideas. […]
It’s a-shining in me…now
“The ego is the party pooper that prevents us from dancing into the middle of the ballroom floor.”—Francis Lucille Buenas dias, mis amigos! Spending a month in Mexico’s Sierra Madres is the perfect antidote to hot Kansas summers. Long mountain hikes, $1 green juices and, of course, the Namaste community makes for an easy dive […]
Still swimming in the waves
“Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us, as well.”–Voltaire Happy Thursday, my brilliant beauties. A series called False Positive (I haven’t watched it, don’t even know what it’s about) recently debuted on Hulu. But the title got me thinking how often we invest in the opposite: false […]
Receiving the frequency loud and clear
“Remind yourself that you are not the mind and that its problems are not yours.”—Sri Nisargadatta Mahara You gotta love the Dude’s persistence. Even with our chatty minds constantly looking for problems and judging everything they see, The Dude still manages to make contact. I’ve spent a couple weeks purposefully aware of The Dude as […]
No effort, no thought, no will
“Why are we not always and forever, in every moment, overwhelmed by the miracle of the world?—Jeff Vandermeer On my metaphorical vision board, I have four intentions, all of which came straight from the pages of A Course in Miracles. I’ve shared them before, but since my squirrely mind can always use a refresher, I’ll […]
Practicing alchemy, spreading light
“Come to God dressed for dancing.”–Rumi There’s a line in the movie The Ten Commandments where Moses asks to be forgiven for his weak use of “God’s great power.” I can relate. I have the means (as do you and all humans) to heal, to spread love, to literally command matter and what do I […]
Rearranging the furniture in my mind
“If you’re going to keep your sanity, the only choice is spirit.”—Americ Azevedo First, let me offer a huge shoutout to all of you. Not only did you pray for me (thank you so much), but you also generously and tactfully reminded me of my own advice. Someone suggested I re-read “That time I […]
