The Good News It would appear to most of us that if you are reading the newspapers, watching the news, listening to the radio, that everyone is talking about the bad news. There doesn’t seem to be any “good news”. Here and there is a story of someone who overcame their life situation to help a group, or family, or formed a new powerful bond somewhere. But most of all we seem to be told to live each day in... Read more
Life is a practice. So lets make our breath a practice. Right now, right where you are, just become aware of your breath. As you become aware of this natural miracle of life, we call breath, you may notice that by becoming aware of it, it deepens. So right now if you are experiencing mind chatter, anxiousness, fear, worry, addictions, a sense of running from things, simply stop, and become aware of the breath. The practice: 1. Become aware of... Read more
So first I am honored to be writing on Patheos and honored that you have joined in the fun of exploring our bigger self. First let me suggest that I don’t believe ego as part of the whole is bad, in fact when ego takes over it convinces us that we are separate and lonely. Our practice is understanding human which if you have been following me, know that “Hu” means GOD and “man” means man. So God-man. When we... Read more
Stop looking out there for it. Big deal right? Say it as many times as you wish and still nobody wants to listen, because they are busy looking for it. So what is everyone looking outside for. What is it that if you found it out there, it will allow you such joy and happiness, that your life would change? Is it the relationship that excites you so much, you tell your friends that you are in love, then sooner... Read more
I am always amazed by situations. When dealing with couples, families, individuals, business’s, and crisis support, what really is the source of all or may I suggest most problems is that there is something else other than this. That there has to be a better partner than this, or relationship, or making the wrong the decision. Yet we are given what we are given in the moment. The only person to change it, is the person creating the problem. Let... Read more
ap·pre·ci·a·tion/əˌprēSHēˈāSHən/ Noun: The recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something. Gratitude for something. I love using the word appreciation. For me it is a sign of big love. “I appreciate you” is a wonderful closing in any conversation. I remember talking to my 91 year old grandma, whom I talk to once a week. At the end of one our conversation, I said, “I appreciate you”. A couple of days later I heard from her son,... Read more

There is division within us, each of us, we are here to end the division and know ourselves and that will lead to complete freedom. That is true education. We see that division throughout the world in nationalities, most religions, race, traditions, politics, relationships, etc.. So how can one be free if they are attached to an idealogy, concept, or image. Because freedom is not attached to anything, it is free. We have been dialoguing about the minds concept of... Read more
When I have the opportunity to listen to clients in sessions, one thing that I realize is one, we take ourselves way to seriously, and two because of that we lose the sense of play. Life is love and when that understanding is a realization, then you will see the play and the parts in it. When you observe children playing, they have fun, create rules, and then throw them away, and play a new game. But as adults we... Read more
I just read something that was sent to me, it read, “when you are in a relationship and you are wrong about something admit it, on the other hand if you are right keep quiet and move on, relationships are a team not a competition.” In working with couples, the biggest communication break down is misunderstanding. That’s all. Either one just needs to be a little clear without imposing a view on the other. Understanding comes first in understanding yourself,... Read more
