Rosemarie LoSasso worked closely with Kenneth and Gloria Wapnick for decades, editing his books and audios and teaching at the Foundation for A Course in Miracles (FACIM.org) from its earliest days in the 1980s. (You can read more about Rosemarie’s journey here.) She continues to share Ken’s mind-healing teachings and Jesus’ loving message through the regular […]
When lilacs last in the dooryard did their best to bloom
It all started with the lilacs, with leashing up my little dog and heading out into the cinematic glare of Denver’s bipolar weather on a manic, spring upswing to clear my head of a special relationship’s continuing, apparently unrelenting problems that seemed so threatening to him, and, well, me. Temperatures soaring in late April to […]
Hell no, I won’t go!
(Here’s another excerpt from my most recent essay collection, Forgiveness: The Key to Happiness :)) Hell No, I Won’t Go! “I’m not going anywhere with you,” he repeated, stomping his little, bare foot. I ignored him. “I told you to get dressed.” He stuck out his tongue. “Now,” I said. He was wearing what appeared […]
There is a place in you
“Jesus,” I whispered, as I stood at the threshold of my imaginary inner professor’s office door, still anxious from yet another dream involving another life-threatening road trip, mirroring the seemingly perilous highway my waking dream appeared to have become. He glanced up from the papers he’d been reading and smiled. “Long time, no see with,” […]
Surrender Susan
(Here’s an excerpt from my latest essay collection, Forgiveness: The Key to Happiness—hope you enjoy!) I was just so frustrated again. Still nauseated, in fact, by the seeming stupendous insensitivity of a costar in the movie of my so-called life, a special relationship I thought I had forgiven once and for always that nonetheless seemed […]
Be still (just) an instant and go home!
Drat, it was just no use! I snapped off my car radio, delivering non-stop updates about the latest ways humans have destroyed themselves and others interspersed with coverage of the latest Republican presidential debate, hoping to return to the quiet center within, only to discover that Oreos TV commercial stuck in my head again. The […]
The miracle just looks!
The groomer had unceremoniously announced that my little dog was now a senior citizen at the tender age of seven. Leading me to the horrifying calculation of my own age in dog years, as if the many human years I’d put in had not been trying enough! Kayleigh stared up at me, crestfallen, from beneath […]
I do not know the way to you
(Just back from visiting my daughter in Seattle and thought I’d share this excerpt from my new book, Forgiveness: The Key to Happiness, along with October news from the Foundation for A Course in Miracles, including announcements about two new audios and a keepsake anthology! I’m also posting a new audio with CA Brooks, 12Radio, […]
The two rooms
“Have I mentioned lately how much I just love Thanksgiving?” I asked, while standing at the kitchen sink, drying yet another drainer full of pots and pans. “The way it’s all about just being grateful for this wonderful world of ours. For the blessings of family, and friends, and food and, you know; God-damn pumpkins.” […]
What do you ask for in your heart?
(Here’s an excerpt from my upcoming book, Forgiveness: the Key to Happiness.) “I’m not talking about this now,” I said, barricading myself in the fox hole of my office against incoming verbal shrapnel like any self-respecting ego. Feeling once more misunderstood, manipulated, unfairly treated, and falsely accused in a special relationship; just when I thought […]
