We are all guilty of worrying. Some of us much more than others. Has worrying ever solved a problem?

If we think back on all the things we have worried and stewed over, we find that most of what we feared never came to fruition. That […]

Yes, the HOPE is that we can see life through the eyes of the love that was used to create the Universe and us.

More specifically, however, we are asked today to see…really see…life through our own eyes, not through the eyes and filters of others. Take one thing you see, hear, […]

Action and reflection are the key. It is not action or reflection.

Our message today tells us that, too often we treat action and reflection separately. It is one or the other. But that is wrong thinking. They should always go together on a continuous loop. They need one […]

I HOPE I can explain this message correctly. I understand it, but it is a bit hard to explain.

In our lives. we often have things compartmentalized: friends, events, food, etc. A simple example is food menus. I find that I make applesauce whenever I cook pork loin. It works, […]

Look what showed up: the praying mantis. I love when this happens. When I taught school, the kiddos were always very excited.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by […]

Today’s message is about getting along with people, things, events, etc. What a novel idea! Certainly, if we listen to any media, it would seem that this is a rarity. In reality, it used to be the norm. People tried to get along.

From the beginning, we learn to […]

The exact message was, “A little bit of HOPE goes a lot further than you think.”

Like HOPE, love and joy are also free to give and they too go a lot further than we can ever know. Giving HOPE, love, or joy, cost us nothing but has a big impact on those we […]

Crows are fascinating, talented, and magical. When they show up, they beckon us to pay attention.

I loved this meme I found because the five crows that showed up were picking at my neighbor’s garbage. Five is a change number, so that calls for or alerts us to change.

Our message today tells us that “second choice” gets a bad rap. It is our attitude that makes that true.

We are asked to consider that just maybe it is the right choice. Or consider that we are lucky that we have a “plan B” or “second choice.”

Whatever […]
