Are You Spiritual Enough?
Summer is sneaking into my room and tickling my feet. I’m feeling all giddy and giggly about it. I want to increase the amount of laughter in the world, and in my life. In that spirit, I’ve written something humorous (I hope.) If you are easily offended, PLEASE do not take the quiz below. It…
The Ones We Choose
I love pondering the divine play between physical and spiritual worlds. I often savor these thoughts like a slow-melting piece of fine chocolate. One of my favorites concerns reincarnation. (I’m guessing you’re rolling your eyes and mouthing, ‘Of course it does…’) It is believed that souls travel together in packs, like wolves or…
Spiritual AND Sexy
Spiritual AND sexy? You bet. Over the past 18 months, I wrote a book. In my spare time. It is the story of three spirited sisters, two Latin lovers and one morose mermaid. It is an erotic novel. ‘What??!!” you might be asking. I expected that. Although it is (much) different than the work most…
Secondhand Enlightenment
My best friend started losing his hair. During the two decades we’ve known each other, his hair has been a constant source of concern for him, but recently the process accelerated. In response, he lopped it all off. The odd thing is that I’ve also noticed a shift in his personality to accompany his new…
Art-n-Soul Retreat: Centering and Creativity
An artist and a yoga teacher walk into a bar… “Red wine for me”, says the artist, “and a martini for my friend here.” I’m tired, they both say with their eyes. “My life needs more color”, says the teacher. “What do you think of covering ourselves in body paint and ecstatic dancing on a…
Dance with the Divine

Desire
Desire: a sense of longing for a person or object or hoping for an outcome I met one of my heroes recently. Surrounded by thousands of people, Danielle LaPorte and I held hands, locked eyes and shared a moment. She is all about desire these days, and for the recent past. She wrote a…
My God
In the vibration that is life, God is the ‘off’ between the ‘ons’. Within that pause lies the field of all possibilities, made manifest by a thought, a choice, or an action. Everything that was, is and will be, is also the condensation of this infinite force into what we perceive as separate and individual.…
Satisfaction
I’ve been thinking about satisfaction recently. Which brings to mind the Rolling Stones song, which makes me think about the band Maroon 5 and their song about Mick Jagger, which then makes me think about Adam Levine, the lead singer and a super sexy guy. Oh, how I digress. And that’s how it goes. The…
