Selfcaregiving- To smile your way through cloudy days is much the wisest thing to do. For if you make the best of things they cannot get the best of you.~ Leslie Relle During these troubled times of coronavirus, while waiting for test results as we self-quarantine, or endure self-induced shut-ins, many of us may become the family caregiver. Perhaps elderly parents live with us, or our children are now home 24/7 for goodness only knows how long because schools... Read more
We talk too much about finding our purpose as if it is outside of us and separate from us. As if it is something we lost and must recover rather than discover within ourselves. True purpose—the call for a higher understanding of life’s meaning— is about our collective potential and it requires action and participation. It is my distinct pleasure to share a guest writer with you on Above and Beyond the 5 Senses on Patheos. Rev. Dr. Temple Hayes and... Read more
It is not length of life, but depth of life.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Is dreaming part of your Life Purpose? Why are you here? Can dreaming help us focus on our waking world?

Cupid shot her and her future husband Chad through the heart in a coffee shop. Joan was 72, and Chad was 69 years young. Love is not only blind; it cannot count. However, age cannot save us from ourselves. Sometimes the most significant deterrent we must face is one that is impossible to avoid-ourselves.... Read more

In spite or because of that, Richard went through thirteen... Read more
What do successful change and situational mindsets have in common? You… and timing. Is time on your side? How often have we asked ourselves, “Now? Should I make the change now, or later? What if it is too soon? Or, too late? What should I do? Help!” Our mindset can limit our decision-making skills. Timing is a key component of a successful change in life. Without change, there is no future, and without timing, there is no successful change. Are... Read more

As a spiritual writer or speaker, you have probably read or heard the word “Platform” thrown around like alms-for-the-poor. Does this sound familiar? “Everyone needs to build their platform.” “Buy this, or do that to increase your platform’s reach for success.” “What can you do to reach your platform?” “As an author, you need this platform, but speakers need that one.” At the last Writer’s Convention I attended, these questions and statements were being offered to the audience as if...
