I attended a leadership conference in Vermont in June. It took me 29 hours to reach my final destination. Yes, I ‘flew’ there but the ‘schedule’ changed according to Spirit (not as advertised by the airline carrier). Chalk this TIRING EXPERIENCE up to Holy Spirit’s ‘way’ of arranging things for me to meet an entirely different group of people; sharing heart-to-heart stories as well as commiserating about mutual travel challenges.

I recently made a visit to the Another Face of Mexico Mask Museum in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. It was a huge, private collection of over 500 masks, from the 35 historic cultures in Mexico and Central America. The masks were used in rituals, dances, cultural celebrations, and were part of the collective identity.
The concept of the masks haunted me. The need to become something other that what we are, and imbue them with special powers, to feel like they were something greater than their ordinary life. This is a story of creating an identity and wearing it like a mask.

Remember, we are beings of light, fragments of the One Great Spirit in action.
Remember, we came to bring light into darkness.

“When an insight lands in a dream, repeats itself even after waking from a dream, going back to sleep & hearing the same message, it’s evident Spirit wants me to do something with that ‘urgent’ message. With zero concern for ‘what time of day’ Spirit speaks, I now have a simple option that honors the ‘gift’ while helping me get the rest I need. I jot down any phrase and/or highlights and title in a notebook I keep bedside. Then, when I’m fully awake, I sit down at my computer and record the “rest of the message.”

Have you EVER ‘misplaced, lost or parted company with a beloved belonging only to be blissfully reunited? If you’re like most people, you probably have.
But what happens when those objects disappear? Do you react with anger or negative self-judgment? Or do you take a moment to approach a disappointment by granting yourself a moment of grace, curiosity and/or humor?

Life has a way of introducing us to people who are looking for a puzzle piece we carry for them. That’s what this poem was for a man I recently met in Mexico. I was there working with a team of medical practitioners at a clinic in a very small town outside Ensenada.

I have a friend who is finishing up the last of her adventures in this life and will be leaving us soon. I wrote a poem for her, her caregivers, family, and friends that I would like to share with others.
While being a deeply spiritual person, she was not the least bit religious about it, and I wanted to hit the right note that everyone could understand and enjoy. Most of this came from my dreams.

This tale began early 2022 when I started experiencing severe muscle fatigue and joint pain. Several specialists, tests, scans, and TIME later resulted in a single “generic prognosis:“ High inflammation since you’re getting old. Continue exercising and learn to live with the pain.”

Look around—our world is fracturing,
news breaking like waves against our peace,
Uncertainty is the only certainty we know.
The ground shifts daily beneath our feet,
and we are asked to walk anyway, to live anyway,
to find our way through the storms of life.

If you, like most people, often let “Someday” inform what you choose to pursue in life, this piece may prompt a shift. The insights the words revealed definitely revised my perspective of what my heart would prefer to experience….
