I’m starting to wonder whether there is something happening to our species genetically/evolutionarily that we are seeing such a rise in what I term utter cruelty to those who are more defenseless than ourselves, whether it is just that we hear more about it in the information age, or whether this is a reaction to…
My heart goes out to all who are suffering tonight. May you find healing. May your grief flow through you and from you and may your pain ease. As I heard about the events in Boston, I immediately thought, “What can I do? What can I do? I’m so far away! How can I help?”…
I just listened to a Tell Me More broadcast on the lack of representation of women of color on magazine covers. It stemmed from a FB post by Jada Pinkett Smith asking whether or not magazines that are traditionally geared towards women of color should start putting white women on their covers. I get that…

What are we waiting for? Let’s get out there. Let’s be creative. Let’s joyfully live our truth. Let’s manifest our vision of the world. Wait, what? We’re too tired? We have to pay this month’s bills? We have dishes in the sink? We have to walk the dog? We have to … yeah. In life,…
“Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool. Lovin’ both of you is breaking all the rules…” The Three of Swords always reminds me of the lyrics to this song from the 70s. It feels like you are standing at a crossroads and there are no good choices. In the song, it’s about loving two…
