What if Money Didn't Matter?

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. -Howard Thurman Far, far away, in a distant galaxy, there is a planet where money just doesn’t matter. It doesn’t even exist. I’ve dreamed about it. This is a place where you do what you love. You live a very limited time there, as on earth, so it only makes sense.On this…See More

Where's the Mother Ship?

 “I am seeking. I am striving. I am in it with all my heart.”-Vincent Van GoghThis Tuesday I was sitting in the waiting room for my weekly session with  my young, 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' wise-woman acupuncturist. She and another colleague, Margaret, had taken photos during one of our recent flash storms. They mentioned that in one of the photos, there was what appeared to be a disc-like flying object over a field. A UFO.Next to me sat an unassuming, average looking mom of about 40.

Not so much.I’m what some might consider “scrappy.” A lot like a fish (called Wanda) that insists on swimming upstream, against the current.I have a dream. It struck me in a moment on a gondola gliding down a misty canal at midnight in Venice exactly 17 years ago this month. It…See More
