I danced with Lightning,and I couldn’t stop laughing. He was so wild! As we zig zag bounded across the sky, something heavy lifted off me,and I became Lightning too – fierce and free,like I am now. Never forget: Take timeto dancewith whoyou want to be. We become, who we dance with. Okay, that’s a little […]
Isn’t this a prayer? to laugh and soak in the sunshine, to play? to take in hearty gulp after gulp of fresh air? to hold a loved one in your arms cheek to cheek, sweetness to sweet? to open your heart so wide it aches for someone else’s pain? to reach your limits and be left […]
This is the road of authenticity – one day rocky, another smooth. It’s easy to love the sand squishing between our toes, the hot sun warming our souls … storms – are another story. One way or another, we need to learn to believe in the Light that never stops shining behind clouds the Light that radiates […]
Sometimes, prayer is the divine experience of basking in Love, like sunshine. Other times, prayer is the divine labor of chasing fear like rats out of the kitchen.

I used to wonder about the darkness. I was obsessed with how it consumed some people and transformed them into cold cruelty, unyielding hardness. The answers settled into my bones as shadows, textures of despair- thick hopelessness, futility like a fog. What’s the point of shining in this world? Now I wonder about the light. […]
I spent the afternoon praying with women, who were recently released from prison, and I noticed something I think is worth sharing: Incarcerated mothers are just exactly like the rest of us. The moms I prayed with are just ordinary moms, who happen to have spent some time in prison. Like every mom I know, […]
Great Creator of heaven and earth, only You can grasp the complexity of my soul. Instead of trying to craft my own resolution this year, I choose to open my heart entirely to Your will. Fill me with Your Spirit, and guide me through the process of transformation. By Your Providence, help me become a little bit […]
