By this Author

A year later, what am I learning from the COVID-19 pandemic?

Lent not a time of 'giving up,' but of 'taking' time to be with God

The revolution that begins within

Gifts for this COVID Christmas — the conscious circle of humanity

A patchwork quilt — sewn together on faith

Walking a tightrope to repair our democracy

This moment needs transformational leaders

This moment calls for a new consciousness: embracing diverse worldviews

This moment calls for a new consciousness: becoming an anti-racist

Imagining moving forward as we face a dual pandemic

Acting in the midst of grief: how to be during this time

Despair and hope in God's loving embrace

'What did you learn from the coronavirus pandemic?'

Discerning presidential candidates

Hope in evolutionary time

How are you living the Incarnation?

Make Thanksgiving special, take time to reflect

Use the 'Welcoming Prayer' to let go and renew

Consider the snail

An early morning contemplative ride
