CHOOSING GOD, CHOOSING PEACE
“Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.” Paramahansa Yogananda Today was a banner day—not only here in India, but in the landscape of my entire spiritual journey. When I first picked up Autobiography of a Yogi over thirty years ago, I read it with three companions: awe, skepticism, and hope. I questioned the miracles. I wondered about the sages. I asked if the astonishing stories he told—stories that defy t


FOOTPRINTS ACROSS LIFETIMES
"Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought." ~ Matsuo Basho There is something profoundly stirring about walking in a land where saints, sages, gurus, and mystics have poured their devotion into the soil. India has always called to my soul, but being here now feels like remembering rather than discovering. I came to deepen my connection to Spirit—to breathe the air my beloved guru, Paramahansa Yogananda, once breathed, and to feel into the en


A HEART DRUNK ON GOD: MY DIVINE WALK IN INDIA
“Where Ganges, woods, Himalayan caves, and men dream God — I am hallowed; my body touched that sod.” Paramahansa Yogananda For more than half my life, the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda have been a steady flame lighting my path. When I first opened Autobiography of a Yogi , it felt as though the pages themselves breathed. I devoured every word, hungry for the depth, truth, and love that poured from his life story. There were countless meditations in which I called out


INDIA, BABAJI AND THE INVITATION TO LOVE
"If you come to doubt, I'll give you every reason to doubt. If you come suspicious, I'll give you every reason to be suspicious. But if you come seeking Love, I'll show you more love than you've ever known" ~ Mahavatar Babaji There are moments in our lives when the path becomes so sacred that words feel too small to hold what the heart knows. That is how I feel here in India—this land where sages have breathed prayers into the air for centuries, where the soil remembers eve

MOUNTAINSIDE MEANDERING
“The long and winding road that leads to your door Will never disappear, I've seen that road before It always leads me here, lead me to your door.” The Beatles I know the road well that leads to my sister’s house. I have traveled it many times during my life. The first eight to nine hours of the drive went by uneventfully with light traffic and my favorite singer serenading me in between my favorite author being read on audio. I had been warned already about rain and storm

THE HUSH BETWEEN YOUR THOUGHTS
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” – Mahatma Gandhi In meditation recently with my friend Ruth, we each focused on a desire. Without hesitation, I said that I would love to have a more intimate walk with Jesus. I want to know more about what he experienced while on Earth. It was my agenda in going to Egypt to feel where some of the historical figures walked and hear the language they used. I experienced this as I visited a church i

FROM HURT TO HEALING
"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." — Carl Gustav Jung There is a subtle shift in language that carries the power to transform an entire life. How often have we heard ourselves say, “This happened to me…”—as if life singled us out, as if we were at the mercy of circumstances beyond our control? And yet, within that very same experience lies a doorway. A quiet invitation. A sacred whisper that asks, what if this happened for you? It doesn’t dismiss

SHINE ON
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” ― Roald Dahl Sometimes it is hard to see the blessing in the things that we feel are not good for us or that hurt. Last year I broke two teeth on two different occasions. I have never been fond of dentists as all my experiences were painful ones. Breaking those two teeth were a

SACRED IN THE SIMPLICITY
"Life is short. Be silly. Have fun. Love the people who treat you right; forget the ones who don't. Regret nothing." — Unknown Easier said than done, isn’t it? If only it were that simple. As humans, we tend to complicate even the simplest truths. We carry stories, wounds, expectations, and old conversations that replay in our minds long after the moment has passed. We say we want to let go, to be light, to laugh more—but then we hold on tightly to what hurt us, what disapp

BE SEEN AND HEARD
"What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?" — Angie Thomas I think if we knew from an early age just how important our voice is, we would pay more attention to how to use it. As someone who came from an environment of being restricted in being seen and heard, it was a hard lesson to speak up for myself. There is a sacred power within each of us—a voice that was never meant to be hidden, silenced, or dismissed. And yet, f

YOUR WINGS
“If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.” Buddha Have you ever had a dream that you were flying? Not just gliding a few feet above the ground, but soaring—effortlessly, joyfully, as if gravity had no hold on you at all? There is something so freeing about those dreams. No limits. No barriers. No fear. Just the wind beneath your wings and the knowing that you are supported. Flying in a dream often represents liberation… breaking free from limitations… s

HOPE STILL LIVES IN HUMAN HEARTS
"Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise." — Victor Hugo There are moments when the world feels heavy… when the stories around you echo with fear, uncertainty, and division. It can seem as though darkness is everywhere, pressing in from all sides. Yet, pause for just a moment and ask yourself—is that the only story being told? Or is it simply the loudest? For every shadow, there is also light. For every headline that stirs worry, there are quiet acts of kindne

YOU NEVER LOST YOUR POWER
“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any”. –Alice Walker There are moments in life when we feel small… powerless… as if the circumstances around us are dictating every move we make. Perhaps it shows up in a difficult relationship, a financial struggle, a health concern, or simply the overwhelm of trying to keep up with the world. In those moments, it can feel easier to surrender—not in the sacred sense of trusting the Divine—but in

SHARE YOUR HAPPY
“Happiness shared is happiness doubled." Swedish Proverb Have you noticed that happy people seem to draw others toward them effortlessly? There is a light about them… an energy that feels warm, inviting, and safe. It’s almost as if joy itself is contagious, gently calling others closer to experience it too. When someone is truly happy—not forced or fleeting, but deeply rooted in their being—it creates a ripple. That ripple touches hearts, softens worries, and reminds other
