Day 3 of 'Manifesting a Meaningful Life' is half-way through. As much as I am a full participant in this process in one way, I am also separate from it in other ways. What it says to me is that I can chanage my life - completely! - in the blink of an eye. It tells me that manifestation shaped by meaning creates a magical life. It tells me that it's easy ...

Kofi Annan has said that the future of the world is in the hands of women. Others have said similar things. Inside - where I live - I know this to be true. Women are unbelievably powerful! Not when we strive to be like men but when we choose to be the woman that we are. We are still the gender that gives birth. We are still the hand that rocks the ... Continue Reading >>

It's another one of those moments that just showed up...in the middle of nothing even remotely connected to the notion/topic/idea...and caught me by surprise.
