Over the years, I’ve heard people say that “God is testing them” when they feel buried in a bad situation. But I don’t believe the Supreme Power ever puts us through misery to see how we’ll react. Why? Tests are given to determine what we know or how we’ll respond to a situation. Since the [...]
While meditating a few weeks ago, I received a message to be more grateful for the life I can now lead. This reminded me of the trials of my past and made me appreciate my younger self who never gave up. This is what I would tell her: I appreciate what you did correctly when [...]
Love can soften the most hardened heart. Once, I would’ve scoffed at this notion, but today, I’m convinced it’s the only way we can make our world a more joyful place. Our hatred feeds others’ bad behaviors Hatred fuels negativity, making it more difficult for us to view others as we view ourselves. Some in [...]
It’s hard to believe I’ve been involved in the coordination of the college’s supernatural program for 15 years! As usual, you can select from a variety of investigative, spiritual, intuitive development and history classes this September and October in Reno, Virginia City and Carson City, Nevada.

When I realize I'm stuck in a rut, I seek any clue to lift me out of it and propel me onward. Many times, I'm afraid I won't be paying enough attention and an important opportunity will pass me by. But it won't. If we are open to change and growth (and even sometimes when [...]
Most wouldn’t consider it wise to walk alone down an alley at 1 a.m. and invite some scary fellow over to have a chat. So why do some ghost hunters engage in similarly risky behavior when they disregard the importance of protection and clearing? Over the years, I’ve seen it repeatedly: psychics and paranormal investigators [...]
Being a desert rat, I find there are times I crave the coast: the green undulating landscape, the rhythm of the waves, the aroma of sea salt wafting through the air. During our last visit to the northern California coast, Ken and I strolled along the beach in the late afternoon. When I spied a [...]
If you’re like me, you put pressure on yourself whether it’s to get all your errands done or to achieve success in a specific area.
