CONJURING JOY!
It was a big weekend here, being one of the top 10 destinations for Halloween events in the country. That’s because we have one of the largest Thriller dance parades with six Michael Jacksons and over 1,000 zombies, dressed in outrageous costumes, dancing down Main Street. It involves people of all ages, including me this […]
CLAIMING THE GIFT OF YOUR TRUE NATURE
The magical moment in this photo lasted several minutes. It happened to my friend Tim, who is also one of those people who is 100% authentically himself all the time.

We all know the challenge to make it right, to make it real and how when we actually do, the whole world glows with us. When we don’t, we suffer and […]
CONSCIENTIOUS COMMUNITY LIVING – Lesson From Ghana
While the experience is still fresh, I want to continue to share what I learned from my two weeks in rural Ghana.

LESSONS FROM GHANA – The Power of Personal Spirituality and Acceptance

My husband and I were the guests of a Ghanaian master percussionist who is also an Ewe Tribal Village Chief and Priest. We have hosted his touring Afrikana group at our home many times. He […]
