Thumbnail image for What’s the square footage? by Brooke Leigh Sheldon January 24, 2012

The age of the McMansion has become passé. The overblown contest of house size, “Who’s is bigger?”, has found it’s new location in the circular file of public consciousness.

Give Yourself To Love

Thumbnail image for Give Yourself To Love by Brooke Leigh Sheldon January 5, 2012

Give yourself to love. Never be afraid to love. Love the tender young, the wise old, animals (big and small). Love the tiniest of plants to the largest of trees. Love the air, earth, the water, the energy all around you. Love new acquaintances and lifelong friends, men, women, your ancestors, your children, your parents. [...]

Back on Track

It had been snowing on and off periodically for a few days and I awoke one morning to discover that my beloved car was now under some several feet of snow. Faced with the choice of digging or walking, I decided that I was in an adventurous mood! Having run out of basic food supplies, [...]

Got the Rainy Day Blues?

Thumbnail image for Got the Rainy Day Blues? by Paula O Sullivan November 28, 2011

I was standing in a shop looking out the window at the rain, the other day, when a man commented that it was awful when it was raining, as you couldn’t go out anywhere. I was going to ask him if that was so, then how the heck did he get here, like was he [...]

Rollover Moments

I talk to you all the time about the moments that count. However, I understand there are a lot of you out there who think that a bunch of your moments do not count for as much as you’d like them to. So you’ve asked me if, well, you can store them somewhere to use [...]

Make a Wish

Thumbnail image for Make a Wish by Brooke Leigh Sheldon October 9, 2011

What is the thing you most want or wish for? Place no limits on your answer to this question. Let your mind go wherever it chooses. Is what comes to mind something you wish for yourself or something you want for someone else? What do you visualize will be different when this change materializes? What [...]

Violating Gender Norms

Thumbnail image for Violating Gender Norms by Adam J Pearson October 3, 2011

                    We are taught to live by the norms for our gender, but when these norms are too rigid and contradict the truth of our being, we can and should violate them. We need not be afraid to be strong, but also nurturing, reflective, but also [...]

Are you getting warmer?

Thumbnail image for Are you getting warmer? by Paula O Sullivan September 23, 2011

How do you sail through your life? What I am asking you is if you are the Captain of your life’s journey or a Passenger on your voyage? Do you choose to accept responsibility for making the decisions about the course you intend to take? Or, do you prefer to look out across the vastness [...]
