Today we celebrate what the world we wish to see. I want a world of peace and a world of love. I want a world where we are not stuck in an illusion based on fear. I want a world of mercy and compassion and gratitude. I want a world where we understand the healed…

Been thinking a lot about personal responsibility, as the news trumpets on, and life marches forward and as change is constant and the ways we could complain endless. We have the opportunity right now to assume any position we want to assume, why not choose Love?   Take a stance of compassionate grace in your…

Having grown up watching every old movie ever made these images are in my DNA, part of my growing up, and live and breath in my heart.  When I stumble on some shared work from one of these movies my heart explodes with gratitude. Some of the most beautiful words and lyrics we have in…

My best friend is Jewish.  She was raised in a community in Diamond Bar California with a Dad who was superintendent of LAUSD. When her five year old daughter asked me at a Diner “Is Santa Real?”  My inner Christian froze, a million thoughts went through my head, her Dad is a bit orthodox, they…

We are at a point where half the planet is overweight and the other half are starving.  Where you can’t shake a stick without someone going off the anxiety spectrum of fear and…

Love is the wake up call of the moment. This is the destiny of this expression of humanity. This is the way that we understand our destiny to love and be loved.  The mechanism of love, those internal gears that are developed over time and in the flow of our life as we practice the discipline…

As we achieve a collective gridlock in beliefs, ideologies, passions, fundamentals, and opinions the only choice left is to go into the deeper conversation. There’s a Latin phrase that represents a foundational element of the healing arts, medicine, and the sciences, Primum non nocere — “First, do no harm.”  Entering any situation with this simple thought sets the stage for…

Each of us finds our own way on the path of the peaceful spiritual warrior in Love, as my favorite Rabbi shares “capable of wrestling with life without being defeated by living.” Each of us finds our own way to express this language of the heart and live in our joy. May you be blessed today. May…
