Hitting the Wall and Not Giving Up

For the past two and a half years I have been working hard on writing my first novel. Along the way I have discovered how much I didn’t know that I didn’t know about writing fiction. After publishing 11 non-fiction books, I considered myself a relatively talented writer. Big mistake. Imagine if you were a house […]

The Power of Love

Love is one of those words that gets used a lot but has so many different meanings. Love is a feeling, a sentiment, a behavior, an action, a way of being, and often the thing that has the capacity to heal almost every situation. I don’t believe there is a shortage of love in the world, […]

A Year of Turmoil and Transformation

LOVE is in Your Mirror

For decades I admired the wisdom of the late Louise Hay and looked up to her as an icon of emotional healing and spiritual growth. I loved her fierce courageousness, her willingness to do and say the right thing with the causes that called to her, and her joie de vivre always inspired me. More […]

It’s My Birthday!!! (here’s my wish)

Today I am 68 years old. It’s a reality. It’s a number. It’s also fun to have reached a stage in my life where I no longer care what anybody thinks about me and I can just totally be me. I have gray hair, I weigh 144 pounds, I’ve shrunk down to 5’ 7” and […]
