I have a friend who told me one time, don’t pray for anything specific because we are so limited in our imagination. If we pray for Big G’s will, there is no limit to the blessings we can receive because Big G knows no boundaries. That was quite a revelation for me and I have […]

Listen with Your Eyes and See with Your Heart
A dear friend of mine coined this statement which is an expansion of Native American teachings. When I first heard it three years ago, I was puzzled and had to really meditate on its meaning. Pretty powerful stuff, I must say. To listen with our eyes is to watch and observe people, places and things. […]
Gently and Gradually
That’s how Big G works with me…..much to my frustration at times! I’m the kind of person that wants what I want and I want it now! I have to keep reminding myself that through God ALL things are possible….in His time, not mine. And, it will happen if it’s His will. Growing up I […]
Had the Eyes No Tears, the Soul Would Have No Rainbow John Vance Chaney
Last week I wrote about growing and changing without having to experience pain. But what about those times when we do have pain….when the hurt is so bad we think we cannot go on…..well that’s where the statement above comes in…… If you ask my brothers, they will tell you I was a real cry […]

Texting and emailing have become the primary form of communication. Our society is becoming a society of isolationists, a society that lacks basic social skills. Social skill is defined as any skill facilitating interaction and communication with […]

My Real Identity- Who Do I Want to Be?
We all adopt various identities at different times in our lives – sometimes, even more than one identity at a time – our race, nationality, religion, occupation/profession, role in the family, etc. We must remember that all of these identities are temporary and external. They do not define our true selves. Our true authentic selves […]
Your Life is a Blank Canvas
We are able to paint whatever picture we want on it. And when we make a mistake, we can paint over it as if the first paint was never there. I often see my life like this and feel that if I allow Big G (aka God, Great Spirit, Buddha, Yahweh, Great Creator) to guide […]
