On Death and Dying… and Living Authentically

This article is a fabulous reminder that when we are on our death beds we will regret the dreams we did not pursue and the love we did not share (especially with ourselves!).

Pert: The Molecules of Emotion

Whew! I've been taking a bit of a breather from non-fiction this past week to fly through The Cider House RulesThe Cider House Rules by John Irving. And then, needing something much fluffier, I read The Wheel of DarknessThe Wheel of Darkness by Preston and Childs while I was at the cottage this weekend. Great fiction reading, and I was very pleased to make the acquaintance of Agent Pendergast and his super-human know-everything and everyone-ness. He reminded me of Ozymandias from the WatchmenWatchmen.

Wise Words from the Tao Oracle

From Ma Deva Padma, the woman who created the Osho Zen TarotOsho Zen Tarot, the Tao OracleTao Oracle is an equally beautiful and powerful oracle deck that I've owned for ages but have only recently begun to work with. 

OSHO & Smith: Connecting to Nature and Creativity

Today's Osho Zen TarotOsho Zen Tarot spread connects in a wonderful way with the reading I did yesterday on David Smith's new book, Honoring the Sacred EarthHonoring the Sacred Earth - at least the left-hand cards do.

Asking for Forgiveness

I'm reading David Smith's section on Forgiveness in Honoring the Sacred EarthHonoring the Sacred Earth (I know! I can't believe I haven't finished it yet, but that's another story...) and something about this prayer really got to me: "Almighty God who created everything grant us your forgiveness for the wrongs we have done in our lives and help us to forgive those who have done wrong to us..." 

Smith: Returning to Nature

"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you." - Frank Lloyd Wright

With these words, Smith takes us into Part 1 of 7 in his book, Honoring the Sacred EarthHonoring the Sacred Earth

Smith: A Rocky Start to A Wonderful Voyage

Today, I've restarted David Smith's new book, Honoring the Sacred EarthHonoring the Sacred Earth. I actually began to read it last week but got majorly busy after only a few pages, so I thought I needed to start it again, to make sure I was getting it right. His book (at least the back cover) promises to 'show us what is needed in our times' to rectify the separation that so many of us experience from the natural world in both our daily lives and our spiritual practices. I was very excited to read this book as it seems to tie in very closely with my own mission to create a world of Sacred Physicality.

Aaron: Super charged Goal Setting

I confess, I am enjoying the heck out of Raymond Aaron's Double Your Income Doing What You LoveDouble Your Income Doing What You Love. What, specifically, has caught my fancy? Aaron's no-nonsense approach to success, goal-setting, and getting on track for one; his confidence in his methods for another; and the feeling of hope and excitement that his writing gives me.

Vallée: What is the Great Shift

I've now finished Kryon's section of the book, as well, as Mary Magdalen's, and am now almost done the communication by the Hathors. I'm getting the feeling that this is kind of an Intro to the work of these beings, since the Hathors are the only ones I am familiar with to any extent I can only go by their section, but it seems to be an overview of their main themes, not groundbreaking new work.
