In the fifth Chapter of my book, Becoming a Sun: Emotional and Spiritual Intelligence for a Happy and Fulfilling Life, I write about an enlightened way to experience our spirituality.

Doesn’t your own mind fascinate you? As human beings, we have a front row seat to the working of our own mental processes. For me, it is so interesting to witness where my thoughts go.

I’m still enjoying the reverberations from a Healing Chant workshop I led in Llanrhian, Wales, a week ago. It was a truly magical time. There were dear friends from Wales, London, and even Amsterdam, who came. Don and Jayne MacGregor hosted us with such care. The venue was a converted old one-room schoolhouse made… Continue Reading
Recently, I posted a message on Facebook. It simply said, You are loved more than you know, accompanied by a photo of a pink rose on a black background. Someone responded, “Not true.” Another person responded, “By who?” I resisted answering. Many others expressed appreciation for what the statement evoked in them. Of course, a… Continue Reading
As I write, I am on a train from Bergen to Voss, Norway. The snow has continued late this year in Norway, and it is Friday. So the train is packed with excited Norwegians carrying skis.
