Well, another year has come and gone.  And what a year it has been, eh?   Is it me or does it seem that time is just speeding by like a bullet?  Appears that way, doesn't it? As with every year, we said good-bye to those we knew and loved in some way, on some level,  while welcoming in new friends and family members, reuniting with lost loves, reconnecting with those we had lost touch with and so on. For me 2009 was a year of intense awakening.  While I have been on this path of awakening for what seems like eons, it was 2009 that brought about the spiritual caffeine that really jolted me into a more awakened state.   However, I wish to state that my personal expansion in conscious awareness during 2009 was different some how.  It was definitely unlike anything I had experienced in the past. To make a rather long story short, I made some rather intense changes within myself.   I faced my worst night mares ... My SELF!...

As we all know (or least should already know), Christmas is "loosely"  based on the ancient Roman pagan Festival of Saturnalia .  While there are some arguments as to it's true origin, Christmas holds many of the customs of this particular festival.  For instance, the tradition of gift giving, eating, drinking and making merry, the hanging of boughs of holly, the mistletoe and the Christmas tree are all pagan in origin. We know that Jesus, the Christian savior,  was not born on Christmas day; and the legend of St. Nicholas came much, much  later.  By the same token we know that reindeer are really caribou and that all of Santa's reindeer had to be female because male "reindeer" lose their antlers around this time of year.  Not to mention there have been claims that reindeer can't even fly.  (That's a sarcastic remark by the way folks!) Setting all that aside, you have to wonder ... what is the true meaning of Christmas?  Why was it e...

I have had many people ask me what the ranting about the holidays is all about.  Even had one person ask me who pissed in my Wheaties.  First of all ... don't eat Wheaties ... can't afford'em!    Really sad when one of your life's ambitions is to make enough money to actually purchase a box of Wheaties ... ain't it?   And what is the deal with the high price of cereal anyways???!!!  Really crappy how expensive one box of friggin' cereal is!  oy vey!  But I'll leave that particular rant for another day!  Right now I want to address my reasons (as I have many) for expressing my distaste for those who are making it their life's work to do away with the holidays ... in particular and most especially CHRISTMAS! Join me now as we step in the Way Back machine ... turning back the dial to those days long since gone ... back to yesteryear ... back ... back ...  back ...  (I'm an old broad ... it's gonna be a long ...

One of the many things I have had to acknowledge and accept is that we are all spirit beings having a human experience. Let me repeat that ... We are All Spirit Beings Having A Human Experience! While it may not be so tough to acknowledge this ... it is exceptionally difficult to accept it!  At least it is for me!  And from what I have observed over the last 40 plus years ...the majority of people here on Planet Earth find it equally difficult. With all the discussions, books, seminars and workshops going on these days, you would think that we would be alot happier and alot more enlightened.  Speaking of which ... Have you ever wondered why you can't find any truly enlightened people?  Yea you can find a shit load of empowered and spiritually evolved people.  But where are all the truly enlightened folks hiding? Seriously ... where are they?  Well this was the question posed to me during a conversation I had with my friend Mellen-Thomas Ben...

As human experiencers, we all desire to be heard, to be noticed and to be accepted.  All share these desires.  No exceptions!  But this is only  the outer layer of what our true desires are.   And what are our true desires?   That question can be answered in one four lettered word--  Love .  To be Loved, to feel Love, and to know Love.  This is what we desire the most. The definitions of Love is as vast as the Universe itself.  It is the only emotion that has a national holiday dedicated in it's name --St. Valentine's day.   And it is the only emotion that has more songs and poems dedicated in it's name than anyone could possibly count or remember.  But do you, as an individual, really comprehend and fully understand the true definition of Love? Love can be found anywhere & everywhere.  It is continuously taking place. And it is experienced on different levels, in a wi...

My one burning desire was to do the work Jesus had done while he was here on Earth.   As I close my eyes, I can still hear that tiny sweet voice coming from that little dark curly headed five year  girl I once was.   "I want to be just like Jesus!"   This was the answer I gave to the question, what do you want to be when you grow up?   posed to me by one of my mother's friends.     Her name was Margie Black (name changed to protect privacy) .  She was a very kind, loving woman with bright red hair and sparkling blue eyes.  Margie had a way of bringing Bible stories to life.  She made everything so real and so reachable. So tangible!  When she spoke of Jesus, it was if he were right there in the room with us!  It was that real! Margie encouraged questions and helped you to think for yourself.  Her favorite saying was ... " A man who doesn't stand for something, will fall for anything!" ...
