I’m nervous. Although my messages almost always focus on love in one way or another, and love can be one of the touchiest topics we can discuss, this message potentially adds an even touchier topic, politics.  Politics and Love.                                                                                                                                        You’d be nervous, too. To be completely open, politics is not a topic I know much […]

When they tell you “You can’t go on that path, it is beyond you!” —grab that path as your destiny. ~Likutei Sichot Hero #1 Just recently I met a woman, Julie Lorenzen, at the Larkspur Community Center where I do my morning workouts. The Center has become more of a holy sanctuary to me than […]

In my humble opinion, the majority of people in the world prefer Peace on Earth to the alternative. I’ve asked around, not exactly a scientific survey, and everyone I’ve asked prefers Peace on Earth. What exactly are we preferring when we contemplate this ever-prayed-for dream? Peace on Earth is way more complex and soulful than […]

Yes, that IS a question mark after the headline above. Not a typographical error. So, what’s up with the question mark? Here we go… I like and can live merrily with, Merry Christmas.                                                                                    Likewise, I like and can live joyfully with, Happy Hannukah. Although originally celebrated for 12 days, Christmas currently is often a one […]

Last month’s message was titled We Are All One. Simply said, we need each other so much more than we could ever imagine. This understanding of life puts peace in my head and my heart. Even if you and I disagree on many things, you and I might very well need one another sometime…soon. I […]

WE are all one. We ARE all one. We are ALL one. We are all ONE. Say each line to yourself and put emphasis on each capitalized word.         Slowly repeat.                                               […]

As you probably know, love is my favorite topic. I need to keep it in the front of my mind or it slips to the back of it. There are tons of things that are important in life. Tons! Food regularly. Education, ideally forever. A job, to pay for much of what we need and want, […]

If you’re already confused, bear with me, please. This whole message is about how to bring more aliveness into our daily lives. It’s one thing to just show up and do what we’re supposed to do, day-after-day, week-after-week, year-after-year…until it’s over. It’s a whole ‘nother thing for us to bring our spirit, essence, enthusiasm, delight, […]

We all have love wisdom from heaven. We just have to slow down, breathe slowly, find a quiet place and listen to our tender, wise hearts and souls. We also have to keep learning from others who know more. I rarely know the content of my monthly messages when I sit down to type. Wendy, […]
