The university was closed for summer break, the professors too burned out after two years of teaching during the pandemic to even consider teaching summer school. Nonetheless, I trusted that the side door to the Hogwarts-lookalike structure that led directly up two flights to my imaginary professor’s office would remain mysteriously unlocked and, as always, it […]

Be gentle with yourself
Hi everyone: Well, I woke up this morning tired and hungry (or “hangry,” as my daughter says) and googled this phrase: “Ken Wapnick scarcity.” To my surprise, the first thing that came up was an interview I had originally done with Ken in 2012 entitled “Be Gentle with Yourself.” https://www.google.com/search?q=Ken+wapnick+scarcity&oq=Ken+wapnick+scarcity&aqs=chrome..69i57.5039j0j8&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Gentleness, especially with the puny […]
Love Makes no Comparisons (Blame it on the boogie!)
Much like in the iconic movie Ground Hog Day, another Monday morning brought another start to yet another week of seeming captivity following another trying weekend of trying to sell our home to buy a smaller place and get on with our so-called lives. Having dropped the price yet again toward the end of last […]
Happiness runs in a circular motion
(Hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt from my second book, Forgiveness Offers Everything I Want, available on Amazon :)) “Welcome home, Jim Dugan,” said the Irishman at the Customs desk in Dublin, appropriately ruddy-cheeked and blarney-tongued, stamping my father’s passport and causing Dad to pinken to his very toes with glee, stepping foot at last onto […]
Truth has rushed to meet you (in stealth mode; but still!)
I sat in my car outside the university fitness center I belong to after completing another lonely ride to nowhere on a stationary bike. Mindlessly perusing magazines like People and US reporting on matters of dire importance such as reader polls revealing which celebrity wore which designer outfit best. Even as my iphone continued to […]

The unbearable heaviness of being
(Here’s another excerpt from my second A Course in Miracles essay collection, Forgiveness Offers Everything I Want.) The Friday before my daughter’s Spring Break we gathered to remember a 20-year-old college student who had been heading to California on holiday when her personal story abruptly and inexplicably ended. Rain turned to snow–and back again–as we […]
