What is the best way to not see the good in you? To focus on the bad in others. What is it that the more you look at calmly and directly, the less of it you see? Your fear. How can you solve a problem that does not really exist? By seeing what does exist. […]

Over many decades people came to see me with many different problems, each of which appeared to be in need of a different solution or approach. If I look at my own life history, I see the same pattern there. It seems I have had a litany of problems to be solved, in relationships, financial […]

How peaceful my life would be if I never accused and always forgave. There is a part of my mind that says this is not possible, that it is even dangerous, but I have to believe that not only is it possible, it is the key to having the life I want. How much time […]

Higher learning is always occurring even when we don’t believe it is. Each lesson in life, even the most difficult situations that may have lasted many painful years, are essential to recognizing the power of love in, within, and around us, the Love that we can recognize in one instant and can change our lives […]
