You Gotta Wear Shades
“I would just–for once in my life–like to have a little direct experience of God, is that too much to ask? A little preview of our Father’s Love, my real, capital S Self, eternal wholeness, boundless, all-inclusive creativity and all that …” I hesitated, considering my present company. “Jazz,” I said. My imaginary Jesus continued […]

Healing will flash across your mind
(Just back from attending another wonderful academy class at the Foundation for A Course in Miracles and posting an essay I wrote before I left. :)) I sat at my computer once more, a bag of frozen peas awkwardly wedged against my lower back.

Including a beach vacation in which I found myself wildly vacillating […]
Together we dispel the darkness
Dust in the wind
“Have I mentioned I have a special hate relationship with wind?” I asked, hitting the pause button on the remote. My imaginary inner teacher and I sat on the couch watching the weather report on the evening news, my little dog Kayleigh coiled in her bed with her ping-pong ball, snoring away before the gas […]
The egg that cracked
(Here’s another excerpt from my essay collection, Forgiveness Offers Everything I Want. Hope you enjoy!) When my daughter was in kindergarten she won an award in our school district’s “Young Authors” competition for a picture book she wrote and illustrated entitled The Egg That Cracked.

The ants go marching one by one
“Still here, are we?” I asked. He peered out at me over the reading glasses I’d bought him in an effort to correct the stupendous far-sightedness that prevented him from homing in on my dog-eat-dog world. Although they did nothing to correct his 360-degree Vision, they did lend a jaunty, Johnny Depp-esque panache to his […]
