Solar Power In the White House

One of the first things that Ronald Reagan did to the White House after he took office is to take down the solar panels that Jimmy Carter had installed. What would have happened to the acceptance of solar energy with a different person in power? That was 3 and a half decades ago. Never assumeContinue reading “Solar Power In the White House”

To Have Incarnated In the Body Of a Woman Is a Fine Bliss

In my mind’s eye, I am seeing a scene from a parallel universe: the Creator with a magic wand and some helpers breathing into clay figures the awareness that will live in them… “Surely we can’t give her the body of a man. That would be a huge loss to us all… and no fitContinue reading “To Have Incarnated In the Body Of a Woman Is a Fine Bliss”

Alcohol Ban In South Africa In 2020

This is a very interesting article by Janet Gourand about the effects of a regional alcohol ban during the pandemic. I am quoting her statistics that should give you a pause: “Murder cases reduced by 72% Rape cases reduced by 87% GBH reduced by 85% Armed Robbery decreased by 69% Domestic violence decreased by 69%Continue reading “Alcohol Ban In South Africa In 2020”

Sober House Project

Four teenagers in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan have decided to be proactive about the healing in their own community, and proposed a project called Sober House to City Council. They were met with enthusiastic support. 6 communities in the province of Saskatchewan have already adopted the Sober House Project. May many more follow. Thanks to Ayla,Continue reading “Sober House Project”

Happy Birthday to Melody Gardot

The singer songwriter released a wonderful “quarantine” album in 2020. Melody Gardot gives hope to all who have survived accidents (or the results of extremely bad choices that are quite like accidents too) and whose will to heal was so strong that it opened a path. She is a musician today mainly because of thatContinue reading “Happy Birthday to Melody Gardot”

On Charlene Spretnak’s Birthday

For everyone interested, here is a 2015 presentation with Charlene Spretnak, Mariannne Williamson, Barbara King and Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati about change making women, holistic leadership and the necessary cultural transformation that will be championed by women – from the ground up (not from the top down). It is a bit over an hour. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday to Charlene Spretnak!

It is too bad that there are so few excerpts of her presentations, talks and interviews online, and I have shared almost everything at this point. (Not on my blog, but in my healing groups. Still…) So I will share an anecdote about her that amused me a great deal and still makes me chuckleContinue reading “Happy Birthday to Charlene Spretnak!”

Full Moon In Late January, Full Moon In Leo: You Matter!

Oh wow, it is a full moon again. A full Moon in Leo. Moon in Leo is a good hair day! Get a haircut — if you want to keep your mane, make it grow fast and thick (thick for your hair type, that is) and repair any kind of damage to your hair. Whether your hairContinue reading “Full Moon In Late January, Full Moon In Leo: You Matter!”

Sustainability Is Beauty, And Beauty Is Sustainability

“A bird may be ever so small, it always seeks a nest of its own.” Danish Proverb The ecological affirmation of the wisdom seems to be everywhere now, in late January. The nests in the barren trees pop out to my mind. Even my dreams and spirit messages dwell on “bringing the home in order.”Continue reading “Sustainability Is Beauty, And Beauty Is Sustainability”

Born On This Day: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

The well-known composer needs no introduction. Mozart is always in season. He certainly knew the secret of perfect proportions. I doubt that he expected to become a household name one day. I do believe, though, that he wrote music for eternity. Yes, consciously. May this concert inspire sublime blog posts this week. 😊

When Dealing With the Character Disordered,

here is what you will observe early on and then regularly: ° Microscopic attention on the “flaws” of basically good people and on the deficits of those who do amazing work ° Silence about evil, or the suffering inflicted whole groups of people or animals, never challenging it ° Self-satisfied glint in the eyes asContinue reading “When Dealing With the Character Disordered,”

There Is No Need to Nourish a Viper In One’s Bosom

You Can’t Heal Them! Boundaries – Or Bye-Bye. There are people who get a satisfied expression on their faces when others suffer. There are people without empathy sharing space and time with you. Do not bend over backwards for them. The price for that decision will be loss – loss of your health, loss ofContinue reading “There Is No Need to Nourish a Viper In One’s Bosom”

Prowess

I walked through a mall today, and a song by Janis Joplin started to play. Isn’t it time again that women in music can sing? My oh my, she was something. It is too bad that she lived so recklessly. But in music, who can hold a candle to her? Ladies, please show your gifts…Continue reading “Prowess”

Born On this Day: Etta James

“If you want something bad enough and you strain to get it, it’ll come. Might not come right when you want to, but it’ll come.” Etta James Etta James had to overcome so much… She paved the way for fabulous female singers and left us with a remarkable body of work to appreciate, even theContinue reading “Born On this Day: Etta James”

Wisdom Of the Fox

Only people who offer us love speed up our spiritual evolution. They deserve to be called our “gurus”. People who leave us disturbed, ripped off, and mistrusting, don’t deserve much credit. Put them in a folder named “not that important” and ditch the folder when the time comes. So that you can live in peace.Continue reading “Wisdom Of the Fox”
