Well the Supreme Court has just upheld Obama Care. Both parties are quickly running to the press to claim how amazing they are and why we should vote for them. All day media outlets will be running live reactions and reports of decision and seeing how you feel about the it. So I am going to offer a different kind of solution. A solution that actually appeals to all and is free. That is right FREE FOR ALL. My... Read more
I find that life is always offering us the opportunity to grow. But what I have often observed is most people choose to dwell in things , people, and situations which have already happened. So what is the reasoning behind dwelling on the past? It happened, maybe it was good, or bad, maybe someone felt wounded, abandoned, hurt, or what ever happened. But as we dwell on the past, we miss now, even though the only place we ever are... Read more

This stranger was a young warrior and this young warrior was determined to defeat... Read more
We have many idea’s, images, and pictures of what we think is happening. What we think God may be. This presence that is everywhere at once, is unconditional love. It needs nothing to be itself. But it uses you to express itself. Jesus called this presence his father. I like calling it the divine mother. For a mother can give birth to the new idea (child). Each of us is blessed as the idea of the divine mother. She listens... Read more

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life… “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. “One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. “This same fight...

A gentleman was looking in the mirror at himself. He reached his hand in front of him and touched the mirror. He tried to straighten his hair, but his hands just moved down the mirror. So he tried to straighten his clothes, but again his hand rolled down the mirror. He tried to reach out and tie his shoes that were reflecting in the mirror and his hand just kept hitting the mirror. By this time the gentleman was furious.... Read more
Shakespeare is famous for writing the words, “to be or not to be that is the question.” Actually I feel the sentence should read, “to be or I can’t it’s to difficult.” Most people don’t know they have a choice in their life. Because if they did they would make more informed, loving choices. Yes we talk of free will, and free choice, and yet most people make the same choices, same relationships, same life, worry about the same things,... Read more
