CHOOSING PEACE AS THE YEAR ENDS
Pray for peace “Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.” —Will Rogers As I woke this morning to the first day of the final month of the year, a wave of emotion washed over me. How can it be that a year so rich, so miraculous, so full of Divine surprises is nearing its close? I have lived many firsts, fulfilled long-held dreams, and witnessed miracles that still take my breath away. And yet, woven into the beauty of this year has been the turbulence felt around the wo


LESSONS FROM INDIA’S TEMPLES
“If we could simply live in the light of our bodies being temples of the Holy Spirit, our daily life would be transformed.” ― Elizabeth George Growing up in the American “Bible Belt,” I was surrounded by churches of every size and style. Yet I never truly understood what a temple was—not in the sacred, energetic sense—until much later in life. Now here I am, in India, a land said to have anywhere from 650,000 to over 2 million temples, each one a heartbeat of devotion. Toda


RIVER OF PEACE
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27 Today’s journey carried us from the constant hum of Cairo to the quiet stillness of Abu Simbel, and the contrast could not be more striking. Cairo vibrates with energy that never seems to rest—cars honking, people weaving through the streets, the rhythm of life pulsing in every direction. Yet, as our small plane touch


THE SACRED JOURNEY BEGINS
“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin The countdown has reached its final tick. Bags are packed—at least as packed as they can be after multiple attempts and second guesses. My heart beats a rhythm that sounds like wings preparing to take flight. In just a few short hours, I will board an airplane bound for a distant land, carrying with me not only the message of peace but the vibration of every pr


EVERY MIRACLE A MESSAGE
"That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something." ~ Meredith Monk As I sit in reflection today, I am deeply aware of the sacred rhythm unfolding in my life. In just five days, I will be boarding a plane that marks the beginning of the International Peace On Earth Tour. Those words still bring tears of gratitude as I say them. What began as a whisper in my


WHEN THE WORLD SPINS, BE STILL
“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.” Dalai Lama Oh, what a day indeed! Sometimes I think my life could fill volumes of books with the lessons that unfold moment by moment. Today was one of those days. It began with such ease and peace—leaving early for a doctor’s appointment so I could stay calm in rush hour traffic, catching a few minutes of

OCTOBER MAGIC
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” L.M. Montgomery October has a way of asking us to pay attention. The light changes first. It softens around the edges. The air feels a little cleaner, as if the sky has taken a deep breath. Then the trees begin their quiet show, one branch at a time, until suddenly the world is brushed with gold, rust, crimson, and amber. I absolutely love the fall season. Everything seems to come alive with color, even as it is pr

YOU DON'T NEED THE WHOLE MAP
“If you don't know where you're going, any road'll take you there.” ―George Harrison One of the interesting things about travel is looking at all the options. There is rarely only one way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Depending on the road you choose, the experience can be completely different—even when the destination is the same. I have found this especially fascinating during the Peace On Earth Tour. After six years of traveling and crossing the Unit

THE NAMELESS MYSTERY
“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Tao is both named and nameless. As nameless it is the origin of all things; as named it is the Mother of 10,000 things. Ever desireless, one can see the mystery; ever desiring, one sees only the manifestations. And the mystery itself is the doorway to all understanding.” ― Wayne W. Dyer Dr. Wayne Dyer described the Tao as the invisible, formless spiritual Source of the.

HIDE AND WATCH
“If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.” Michael Jordan I’m not particularly good at climbing, but I am pretty good at not giving up. That perseverance has served me well throughout my lifetime. There’s a saying where I come from in the Appalachian mountains that we would use whenever someone told us we couldn’t do something: “Hide and watch!” Those two little words carry a lot of attitude. They mean, “You may not believe I can do

THE VOID
"Thirty spokes are joined together in a wheel, but it is the hole in the center that allows the wheel to function. We mold clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that makes the vessel useful. We fashion wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable. We work with the substantial, but the emptiness is what we use." Tao Te Ching, chapter 11 When I read these words today, they seemed to jump off the page and swirl around in my head. Lao Tzu used su

WHAT IF YOU CAN?
"Never limit yourself because of others’ limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination" - Mae Jemison The mind is a powerful thing. Perhaps one of the greatest discoveries we can make in this human experience is realizing just how powerful it is. Neville Goddard taught extensively about imagination and the importance of entering what he called the imaginal state. This is more than daydreaming about something we would like to have. It is not

TIE A KNOT AND HANG ON
“When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.” Franklin D. Roosevelt I have heard this saying my whole life. It is one of those phrases that becomes part of our vocabulary without us ever stopping to wonder where it came from. Whether Franklin D. Roosevelt actually originated these exact words is uncertain, but the sentiment certainly reflects something he knew well: perseverance. Roosevelt contracted polio in 1921 at the age of 39. The illness left h

JOY LOVES COMPANY
“Misery might love company, but so does joy. And joy throws much better parties.” Billy Ivey I saw another rainbow today, and I laughed out loud. There is something about a rainbow that instantly brings out the child in me. No matter how many I see, I still stop what I am doing and stare in wonder. They have become such a beautiful part of my journey that I can almost feel their essence before I see them—a gentle whisper from heaven saying, Look up. There is something here

THE HARVEST MOON AND THE LADDER
"If you look at how long the Earth has been here, we're living in the blink of an eye. So, whatever it is you want to do, you go out and do it." - Jamie Foxx Isn’t it interesting that we are each given the same twenty-four hours in a day, the same seven days in a week, and the same twelve months in a year, yet somehow time seems to move faster and faster? I have always loved the saying, “The faster I go, the behinder I get.” It makes me smile, but there is also a lot of wis

OWNING YOUR STORY
“I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.”—Brené Brown Brené Brown writes and speaks beautifully about imperfection. We are not perfect beings, and that is a fact. Yet how much of our lives do we spend trying to convince ourselves—and everyone around us—that we should be? We hide the scars. We soften the truth. We replay moments from our past and wish we had chosen differently. Sometimes we carry sha
