Life is like a recipe: choose the proper ingredients in appropriate amounts; add them together with intention and care; bake well.  What comes out is an expression of the baker, is beautiful to behold and delicious to eat!  The ingredients in our recipe include spiritual practice, proper diet, exercise, fun activities, contemplation and reflection.  We… read more

Everyday brings some form of transition.  They may be quite small or they may be extreme; usually they are somewhere on the spectrum in between.  Regardless, change and transition are unsettling.  We best navigate them when we are calm and centered.  The hustle and bustle of the world will work to tip us away from… read more

Speak out today, in a clear and resounding voice!  Share your authentic prophetic message with the world.  Let it speak of joy and compassion; of love and engagement; let it speak of all the promise found in living with clear and honest intention.  The ears of the world are anxious for your message!  They are… read more

Today, may we be our own best friend.  We intentionally strive to be thoughtful and supporting to others, while not extending the same courtesy to ourselves.  Yet often we are our own harshest critic.  We bully ourselves, put ourselves down and harshly judge.  It is behavior we find unacceptable when we witness it as outward action,… read more

May we, this day, speak with authentic voice.  May our words be simple, and our message clear.  Language should not be cheap, yet we have have so debased it.  From our advertising to our political rhetoric, we bandy words like chattel.  When we try to share that which is in our hearts, our words become precious… read more
