My Heart Has Wings

Above The Clouds

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

By the time you read this, I will no longer be “above the clouds.” I will be descending from the peak of Mt. Jaljale, 14,700 feet up in the Himalayas, my eyes resting on some of the highest mountain peaks in the world—Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu.

Signposts and Signals

Wednesday, December 8th, 2010

Have you ever wondered how you’ve gotten where you are? Scratched your head and asked yourself out loud, “How did this come to be?” It could be that something wonderful has just happened, or something not so wonderful, maybe even awful.

Simple Gifts

Wednesday, November 24th, 2010

Do you believe in magic? I do.

How Long Does It Take To Heal?

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

September 1987. Today is the first day of September, not very fall-like at all—the temperature is soaring. School starts next week, notebooks and glue are in short supply, and the awareness of changing seasons surrounds us.

What’s So Scary About The Truth?

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Come with me on a journey, a journey to a very special place, a place where the words spoken are words of truth, where the actions are demonstrations of the truth, that everything you see and feel and hear is all the truth, and all the truth is given with love.

Desert Bloom

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

With the wind in my face and the sun still at my back, I have returned from the desert. It was an experience that is not yet over. As a matter of fact, it is still beginning.

The Party’s Over. Now What?

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Christmas and Hanukkah are over, the decorations are put away (unless you are one of those wonderful people who stay lit up all year!). The incredible-amazing-best-ever-year-end-sales are done too…and how are you?
