Hey! Somebody Turn On the Lights!

Life gets better immediately when we bring light into it. It is essential for our well-being in every aspect of our lives! Even the smallest glimmer of light keeps the pilot light of HOPE on. What matters is that we celebrate with whatever light remains: a candle is a symbol of hope, a single star can show the way, and even the constant glow from your electronics can remind you to celebrate our unlimited connection to not only the world wide web, but the whole wide world. Light is a celebration of life.

The Smile Behind the Mask

These days we need protect more than our lungs. We need to protect our relationships, the reason we’ve been created. Look into each other’s hearts and souls, past the mask that separates us. We’re spending a lot of time worrying about the future. One thing is certain: it’s not likely to be what we imagine. Life is happening now. Every time we “face” a friend or a stranger we have the opportunity to reinforce that we are not alone and that we matter. So smile anyway and every way you can and maybe, just maybe, we’ll come a little bit closer to healing the world.

Compare and Contrast

Most of us are in the habit of constantly comparing ourselves to each other. Someone always comes out looking worse. But the word compare doesn't mean to find our differences it means to see how we are similar! Here's how to make comparisons that help instead of hurt!

Love says, “Decide”

I realized most of my questions about life are really questions about love. We live with the vague sense that there is more to life. We’re right. In this season of love cliches I want to talk about the four decisions that have helped me win at love. Let me tell you about the word DECIDE.

Got Resolutions?

There’s so much hype about how to change that I thought I would share what I know to be true – three things I know for sure – about positive change.

Gift Giving

There are 4 things I typically associate with gifts. This year, I am going to think about them differently. Maybe you can try this with me. Think about: Gift-Wrap, Gift-Cards, Gift-Exchange, and Re-Gifts!

What Are You Hungry For?

It’s November: open season for Thanksgiving feasts and feasting. What are you hungry for? This holiday season when you sit down at the table, really see your friends. Really notice them. Hear a lot of laughter. Breathe in the Spirit of your faith. Ask your soul, "Are you getting what you crave?" Because when it does, I promise, you will have happy - happier - holidays.

Wonder Woman and Apple Pie

Costumes aren’t just worn in October though, are they? Every time we wear something with a particular logo or label we are making a statement about what we value, and that our opinion matters, and therefore we matter. And based on these appearances we label each other and we are labelled. Here are three ways to resist the irresistible urge to label each other.

What do you EXPECT?!!

Where do expectations come from and how do they become so deeply ingrained in our pursuit of self-worth?
