  We all have read or heard – “we all come into this life with nothing”… and we depart in the same state. However, what you do with your in between time makes all the difference.   Since I ascribe to the philosophy that none of us accidentally stumbles into ‘nothings’, I would have to ‘assume’ […]

  This isn’t an idle question. Whatever it is that you want, or feel you need, are you ready to receive? Often, when you have asked, do you stay in His presence in order to be available to receive? Or do you give up or leave before the desire is manifested? I suspect that many

  For whatever reason I’ve been thinking about the future and what it might look like in 10 years. What I might look like… Though I believe in making plans, I tend to focus on now rather than tomorrow. What about you? For yourself, any thoughts? I suppose we could look now at our past

  You’ve been invited to an elegant, dress up in one’s finery sumptuous dinner party. Pleased and excited, as you enter the parlor you see many people you know. Waiters are bustling around serving plates of hors d’oeuvres. After milling and chatting with others and enjoying appetizers, you leave the party and go home. What’s with

  Every day is a step in our journey, unless we plant ourselves and refuse to move. Every day is an opportunity to live a life of purpose, of meaning… without striving. At the end of the day, do you take a moment to look back at the start of the day and see your
