Live Like a King

My brother has been in my dreams quite a bit lately.  I feel like he is speaking to me while I sleep.  It feels as if he is trying to get my attention to be some sort of a surrogate for him for his grandsons (he has two: Cullen, 3, and Crosby, 9 months).  He […]

Ho’oponopono

Ho’oponopono.  The word itself meant nothing to me until recently when I discovered this Hawaiian practice of forgiveness.  I had never heard an uttering of this word before and knew nothing of its origins—an act of reconciliation and forgiveness.  I feel blessed that this beautiful practice has been presented to me as a way to […]

Oh, My Gato!

Our annual winter storm has hit Texas.  In northern states, this would be called the start of spring, but in the south, when once inch of snow blankets our major cities this is a cause for schools, government agencies and businesses to shutter their doors for the day so that everyone can stay home to […]

Laws of the Universe

You Are an Empowered Being! So few of us are taught that there as fundamental laws that govern our Universe.  I have written about this in the past and even put out an eBook on these laws (click below to get your free copy), so for me, I happen to think that these might be […]

Pure Life

I stopped writing earlier this year.  It wasn’t intended; it just naturally materialized.  My passion for writing abated and I found I had nothing that I wanted to share with anyone.  For that matter, I didn’t think I knew anything that was worth sharing. Que será, será, to the year 2021.  Whatever will be will […]

The Crooked Path

ॐ When she was a young girl, she never quite fit in.  She tried, until she didn’t.  Something inherently hidden deep inside of her knew that she was never supposed to be fully accepted.  She walked with a limp which never endeared her to other children.  The limp’s origins, at first mysterious, manifested after she […]

The Heist

(The following is an excerpt from the book We’ll Always Have Paris) “My phone is missing!” Adi said as we exited Notre Dame. We were now officially into hour two of knowing each other, and Adi had become the victim of a time-honored tradition when visiting Paris.  She was pickpocketed—faster, maybe, than anyone in the […]

The Little Red Book

ॐ The cover was torn; the edges were tattered.  Everyone wondered what was so precious inside Rumi’s little red book.  Those who took notice of her would see her jotting notes furiously in the book, completely absorbed in her own thoughts.  No one thought to ask her about it.  Instead, people told stories about the […]

The Fisherman

ॐ When she was a very young girl, Rumi seldom left her mother’s side.  Rumi simply called her, “Ma.”  On one occasion in her early life, she was separated from Ma in the marketplace of Nazare amongst the hordes of people trying to buy goods and provisions.  For two hours, she searched for Ma while […]

Flying (Number 6)

Flying symbolizes that we have a strong intellect, which we can use to mentally rise above our problems. The dream’s purpose is to get us to see our issues from a higher perspective and thereby allowing us to heal whatever is no longer serving us. This is why we almost always feel exhilarated upon waking […]
