While working with the AODA study program, I’ve begun to start working with the elements.  Air being the first.  For one week I invoked Air every day and used it both for invoking things into my life and for banishing things from my life.  It’s been an interesting experience. I have been working with changing…

Everything in life is about balance.  How much we eat, work, sleep, play, create and worship. If we do too much of any one of those things then our lives suffer. But how do we know what the right balance for us is?  I don’t believe that we have the same levels that are balanced,…

I’ve noticed that sometimes I get “stuck” – fascinated by an image, continually repeating a task, constantly reviewing a web page or email, or sometimes just repeating a thought over and over. It’s like my record keeps skipping, repeating the same thought pattern over and over.

Let me start by saying that I’m a technophile .. I LOVE being able to integrate the new technology that we have developed, physical, electronic, and spiritual, into our practice and study. I frequently take classes from online groups and have worked with both online and in-person groups. This post was inspired by one from…

I find that I have an interesting pattern in my life. I see something that I want to do, and I go for it.  Then I realize that I need to change my patterns to accommodate it … and I do.  Then I get busy at work, or with other things, or sick, or travel, or whatever…
