Reflections of the heart, mind and soul.
The year 2021 is coming to a close so I’m taking this time to reflect. I’ve done a lot of healing work both physically and emotionally throughout the year. I’m not done yet but I have progressed. I feel my heart reaching for a new place, an expanded awareness and a more pure expression of…
Exactly a week before Christmas the area where I live in Australia (Northern Beaches) went into lockdown. I decided I have to be festive in my mind…
Yeah, it’s been awhile since I wrote that last post. I just left it kind of hanging there. Well the truth is, I couldn’t write about what happened next because it was too raw. I felt too vulnerable. It took me six months to sort myself out, and I went through hell to get back…
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and other well wishes to all who celebrate peace, love and goodness this season. Time changes the way we celebrate, the people who are with us, and the places we may be. But nothing changes true love. Nothing changes the human desire for happiness. We long to live in peace; to…

Road Rage This past weekend was tough. We had to get up at 4AM on Saturday to drive 4 hours to our son’s college orientation. No breakfast, in a hurry, it’s a setup for arguments. We managed to hold ourselves together, get some food and get to the orientation on time. Our son was also…
Early Monday morning last week a vary special person I was privileged to know passed away. She lived 101 years but I only knew her during the last year of her life. During that time she had a profound impact on my life. I only worked for her a little more than 5 months, as an aid.…
This woman is now 109 years old and still as optimistic as ever. Please watch this video, it is well worth the full 12 minutes of your time. Published on Dec 11, 2012 At age 108, Holocaust survivor Alice Herz Sommer still practices piano for 3 hours every day. At age 104, she had a book written about…
Where have I been; in a cave, under a rock or in an igloo? Temperatures in the single digits keep the door closed.
