Each year in November we are reminded to be grateful for the life and liberty we have through the celebration of Thanksgiving. We are reminded of the sacrifices of our ancestors, and of the noble history of our nation. Who isn’t grateful for a chance to get together with family and friends to share a […]
Encounters With Memories and a Medium
Living Between Two Worlds – Part 2 The topic of the spiritual world grabs our attention because all of us, even the skeptical, are hoping for validation that there is more to life than meets the eye. While a student at the University of Maryland, I volunteered with the CARP club. We had a video […]
Going Beyond Your Comfort Zone
Some people might ask, “Why would I want to go beyond my comfort zone?” Isn’t comfort the destination? Or at least it makes the journey better. Isn’t comfort part of happiness, and isn’t happiness the purpose of life? It seems that we have a natural desire to seek comfort. No one wants to make themselves […]
Living Between Two Worlds
I recently stumbled across a curious book entitled “Between Two Worlds” by Tyler Henry. The sleeve had nothing to recommend it. The book jacket shows a very young-adult Tyler who looks like he belongs in a boy band. But synchronicity or something made me open it nonetheless. It didn’t help that someone sitting near me […]
How Not to Grow Old
No-one wants to grow old. Sure, we long for wisdom, but none of the 20 or 30 somethings I work with ever say, “I wish I was 60 or 70!” Apart from physically ailing, I think the real threat of aging is the dread of becoming a kill-joy wrapped in misery! It’s not that growing […]
Happy Diwali for New and Old Friends
Last week I was invited to celebrate Diwali with a friend. I’ve always had an interest in Indian culture and traditions so this was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights celebrated every year, usually somewhere between mid-October to mid-November. One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, it signifies the victory […]
What #MeToo Means for All of Us
The #MeToo campaign started with one woman, but the butterfly effect is at work. The result promises liberation for all women, and men too. Evil isn’t too strong a word for the unwanted sexual advances of predatory men, but this evil has been protected by a wall of silence and shame. When the behavior of […]
Time and Space Have No Limit on Your Heart
When you’re “over the hill”, your kids have moved out, and you’re facing the latter years of life, time and space start to look a little different. You no longer need as much space, but you wish you had more time. Not only that, older people tend to get lost in reflection, there’s a lot […]
Your Miraculous Body
Recently I’ve been reading a book called “Food Rx”, by Haylie Pomroy. Although it’s focus is the science of the body and nutrition, reading this book has been quite a spiritual experience. And why shouldn’t it be, since the body is the temple of God, right? “Do you not know that you’re the temple of […]
How to Live at High Noon
No-one can deny we are living in strange times! It’s natural to ask, “What’s going on?” “Is this real?” Having been born during a time of unprecedented peace, it’s disturbing to look at what can only be considered a swift ride into darkness. It’s kind of scary. They say it’s darkest before the dawn, so […]
