I really never thought my mother would die. She was a mystic who always seemed to have one foot planted in another realm. And for that reason, never really seemed earthbound enough to need to transcend this realm. But she did. And it’s still kind of shocking to my system to think that she is [...]

My mother’s passing

A death in the family.

I officiated at my uncle’s funeral this week. He was not a particularly popular guy. In fact, he really seemed to enjoy making it hard for people to get to know and to love him. He had a real need to reject others before they had the opportunity to reject him.
From where I sit, it was [...]
Did your prayer work?
Posted December 8th, 2009 by admin. Comment (1).
If you’re reading this you may be one of the close to 1,000 people who prayed for me at the very exact time my surgery started, 1 p.m. on November 4th.
I’ve heard about the praying. I overheard people asking each other, “Where were you when you prayed for Miki?” And the stories have been told. [...]
The second wretching
Posted December 7th, 2009 by admin. Comment (0).
I’ve been here before. I remember it well. I had my business for 20 years and within three months it was gone. Wretched from my hands. I needed to breakdown the bookshelves myself, pack up every paper, and figure out how to keep going. I remember waking up one morning, thinking, “This was just a [...]
There are no prayers

There are no prayers one can offer to those who love you when you are sick.
The internal resources of courage, strength and the perennial knowledge of being held in the light, by the Divine essence, embraced by the wings of Archangel Michael all ready, willing and able to take up the cause, the combat, the [...]
A Standing Ovation
Posted June 22nd, 2009 by admin. Comment (0).
I am in awe of the gifts of life. Why is it so easy to lose track of them in favor of the lessons of living?
I recently heard about a study that measured the impact of negative and positive comments. It was 5:1. It required 5 positive comments to shift a person’s thinking in a [...]
Evolution of the soul.
Posted June 15th, 2009 by admin. Comment (0).
I think of myself, and most of those who are closest to me as evolutionary characters. We see life as a journey. Certainly there are times when you get to rest on a minute of a plateau of self-satisfaction and inner peace, but mostly you’re driven to see what’s next, what will the [...]
The gift of our lives
Posted August 2nd, 2007 by admin. Comment (0).
I have a very good friend who is hanging in the balance of life and death. He is weary. And he was full of life. So joyous. And so wonderfully irreverent. He is/was a man who was as full of amazing gifts that touched souls, as he was flaws. And seemingly he presented both, without [...]
Why do I pray?

For the blessings of having been born with an incredible gift of joy.
In gratitude for the overwhelming blessings of my life. My children. My friends. My work.
For the incredible Flower of Knowing that I can love and that I am loved.
Prayer leads to prayer. Only we can remove the obstacles, the hardened edges [...]
