I have a lot for which to be thankful. No doubt, there were times that challenged my sense of equilibrium in my world however, I am blessed with selective memory when it comes to moving forward in my life. Lingering long over past hurts and old wounds contributes little to a meaningful life, long lived. At now 70+, I can look back with a deep sense of ... Continue Reading >>

The House of my Mind
I spent many years travelling to Hawaii. Beyond the embrace of the physical space - the experience of being on a tiny dot of land in the middle of the majestic Pacific Ocean, 2500 miles from anywhere else, in any direction... all of which were breathtaking moments in time - I came to recognize that what kept calling me back to this ancient place was the ...

Storytellers, Trust and Reality
From the moment of our conception, the stories begin. As cells divide and begin to form what will become our bodies, the vibrations of sound echo inside our tiny chamber as our mother speaks to herself or any other. Over time, we develop the sensory capacity to make distinctions… noticing the vibrations of sounds and the often-rapidly changing chemical ... Continue Reading >>
Erosion of Individual Choice
Now officially a septuagenerian, I am mindful that I have cast many mindless votes in my lifetime. At the beginning of this democratic timeline, my vote was heavily influenced by the ’tribal elders’ who had shaped my world. The idea was to perpetuate the lineage of the 'anointed one' - the one that the older generation imprinted on the obligations of the ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: A Woman’s Voice – Strong and Loud
"In their desperate desire to have this so-called pandemic end, they are not noticing that it is NOT ending, I dare say intentionally. It is mind boggling how people are not one iota curious about how 15 days to flatten the curve has turned into mandated forced injections yearly for anyone who wants to be part of “us”. And anyone who doesn’t, well, clearly ... Continue Reading >>
Accountability for Individual Choice
It is never about the choice - it is always about The One doing the choosing. There will be no needle in this arm. How far am I willing to go with that? I don’t know… .but I’m sure I will soon find out. More and more, the rhetoric is inflamed and directed at germinating constant fear and deep loathing of one slice of the population for another. Having ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Shakti: Sovereignty and consciousness
"How you see the world depends on your perceptual filters. Those filters shape: How you read the data. Which media you follow. Which voices you trust. Which institutions you allow to guide your behaviour. All reinforce the mindset you’ve already got." (Stela Shakti) Another compelling challenge to the habituated (and mindless, devoid-of-effort) ...

This is not a drill.
"Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.” (Frank Herbert, 'Dune') I retired in 2015 from the full-time engagement of my life’s work of the previous 25 years. I turned my attention to other things… things that I had too often overlooked or ignored, or ... Continue Reading >>
MIT study on vaccine hesitancy
"But a study done at MIT showed that a substantial portion of public-health skepticism was highly informed, scientifically literate, and sophisticated in the use of data. Skeptics used the same data sets as those with the orthodox views on public health." Click here for access to further info and a link to the study. ... Continue Reading >>
