Here You Are (Even If You Wish You Weren't)
Working in entertainment, and working with spiritual practitioners, I’ve found the same thing. Everyone thinks they’re supposed to be somewhere different, experiencing something different, and being different.

The Original Home
Gazing up at the sun in the backyard of the pre-school I attended, the glow, the shine peeking from behind the roof — maybe it was a bell tower; it felt like it was, or maybe that’s a memory from lifetimes ago, while doing the very same gazing - my face turned toward it, like daffodils seeking sunlight after a dark winter.

Don't Light Yourself On Fire To Keep Another Person Warm
“Don’t light yourself on fire to keep another person warm.”
A healing client mentioned this quote to me last week and we both smiled. I hadn’t heard this in years but I shook my head in total recognition that this has been one of my biggest lessons in this lifetime. I’ve had years of experience doing the “right” thing, the “good” thing, and trying to relieve others of their pain…at my own expense.
