Lions and tigers and chemtrails … oh my
So I was on a radio show the other day, talking about (what else?) The E Word, the ego, evolution, and enlightenment. Thankfully I never get tired of sharing this information with people. It’s new every time. Plus every show host brings her or his unique perspective...
Now the real work begins
Okay. He's president. Now the real work starts. But first there needs to be some healing. One of the best ways to defuse the pain of this particular POTUS change is to recognize how much of ourselves we invest in political figures. It wasn't Donald Trump or Hilary or...
MORALITY vs CONSCIOUSNESS – clinging to the past or letting go?

What Is Your Narrative?
Confession: I’m a science fiction geek. Been reading it since Arthur C. Clark was the genre’s “go to” guy. And if there is such a thing as reincarnation I’m definitely returning as a Taoist spaceship captain on a deep space mission into the unknown. (Speaking of...
