Returning or exchanging a gift? Just as we sometimes receive odd generosities from friends and family, we also receive such "gifts" in the form of ideas, advice, opinions, and judgments.  Join Rev Marc as he encourages "Many Happy Returns" in giving you liberty to similarly donate or disperse those when they do not support your greatest expression of life.…

For my lunch break every day, I go to a cemetery near my work named Valhalla (I'll leave the irony for another time...). It is an old property with heroic, spewing fountains and lots of whispering sprinkler heads -- fft fft fft fffffffff -- and a beautiful cupola with ornate carving. It is a restful place (are you laughing?) where I do my mid-day practice. This happens to be a very hot ticket in town because it's…

First thing every morning, as I slide each bead, I say something in my…

Consciousness is a solo project. Until you hit the big time, I'm told. My greatest leaps in consciousness have been: to sing the God Song without crying; to develop a dynamic spiritual practice that brings me great peace and understanding; and to realize that forgiveness is the doorway to my Spirit's freedom. I have truly called on some of the "masters" of the universe to be my teachers -- from my ego/perfectionism to my lack of confidence -- some of the best (worst) have shown me how I used…

This is a new version of an old nursery rhyme-

How delightful!  An outdoor Animal Blessing Service in the front garden.

Bring your animal companions, dogs on leash, cats, bunnies & other small critters in a secure carrier, or bring their photos to be blessed. Beautiful music, lovely creatures.  Both sacred & comical.  What could be better? 

Grateful for a beautiful Wednesday evening centering time with my No Ho family!

Releasing a belief, possibly a belief that no longer serves, is only one of many steps. A predicate step is to bring the belief to full conscious awareness in all its manifestations. A next step is to be open to new ideas, concepts or principles. Another next step is to activate those new ideas, concepts or principles so that there is a possibility of forming a new positive, affirmative constructive belief.…

What a fun and fabulous evening!  Great show, great company, great food!
