I don’t have any answers for the enormity of human suffering we’re seeing on this planet. And it’s the hardest part of any client session, or sermon I preach, or workshop I offer; that moment when someone asks “How can there be a God when there’s so much evil in the world…?”

My fellow chaplain shared that she could always count on death to give great advice. Like, the very best advice every time. She said she always felt the Spirit of Death slightly back and to the left of her. Whenever she was at a crossroads she would turn and ask for help…

I used to be a relationship control freak. I wanted to control every aspect of every relationship in my life while desperately trying to pretend that I was extremely laid back and cool. It was pretty much a full time job and not very spiritually or emotional mature…

It’s taken me a few years and many false starts but I think I’m finally beginning to discover what happens after I drop the bad attitude. I get to actually enjoy my life. As in, bring joy into to my very being and use it as a kind of mode of transportation on the path of life…

Modern day Lent is bracketed by Mardi Gras and Ash Wednesday on one end, and Easter weekend on the other. So, it’s a big deal. But does there really have to be so much suffering? If you know me, you know my answer. Hell no! Suffering is almost certainly the opposite of what God wants for us….

Our culture pressures us to create a deficit in ourselves. In service to this culture we debt on sleep, health, nutrition, spirituality, stillness, love, connection, and more…

Something you should know about me is that I’m a double Virgo with a ton of Mercury in my astrological chart. Which generally means that I love a good organizational system and I love to talk about it…

Although I don’t talk about it too much, one of the most formative experiences of my life was spending 6 years in South America when I was little…

Ever been the villian in a story? I sure have, more than I can count…

Anyone here ever gotten angry? I’ll start. In fact, most days I get angry. I’ll usually get angry at least once in traffic. I often get angry in grocery stores somewhere around the dairy aisle…

I’m a gal who loves her comforts, and so I’m always on the hunt for a good massage. I’ve got a few people I return to over time, a few folks I worked with intensively for short periods, and plenty of terrible experiences…

Where to begin with a subject so vast, so ancient, so painful, and so present? Well first, simply with an acknowledgment that it exists, unhealed, in so many people and their communitites….

I realize I’m a little late to the game, but I just got into some Ram Dass teachings. That dude is hilarious!

There have only been a few times in my life when I’ve received real grace. Or at least a few I’m aware of. I’m sure I’m actually receiving grace all the time and Spirit is looking at me right now rolling Her eyes…

Every so often my sponsor asks what’s eating my lunch today. This week it’s the Shoulds…

I’d like to begin by apologizing for the first sermon I ever preached late summer of 2012. This 7-section behemoth was offered to the kind souls at First Unitarian Society of Denver…

I was talking with a friend a few years ago who was having some conflict in her relationship. She was describing the usual frustrations; dishes in the sink, scheduling issues, miscommunications…

When I was younger, I wasn’t fully conscious of my worth and so I frequently found myself making a feast out of crumbs…

I can’t remember where I first heard this but it was definitely from a friend who was tired of my pity party…
