A Great Healing


For the rich family living in the beach front home to the man living under the bridge, the virus is here for a reason. 

It is here to remind us that we need each other. It is here to remind us that it doesn’t matter whether you are rich or poor. It doesn’t matter what your race is. It doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation is. It doesn’t matter what car you drive.    

You are an important human being, because you exist. 

The greatest threat to our society right now could become our greatest gift.  

If we let it. 

If we let this terrible virus remind us of how immensely beautiful, we all are, this tragedy could become our healer. 

I am not saying that this virus is a blessing. 

It is never a blessing when someone gets sick or dies. 

Never. 

What I’m saying is that the pain could teach us something about the importance of relationships, and how special everyone is on this planet. 

The pain could be our launching pad for immense healing for our world. 

Suddenly, health becomes our number one priority. 

Of course, some of the dark side of humanity is revealed. But it’s revealed because it’s time to be healed. 

It is time for our healing. 

The virus would not be here unless it was time for our world to learn a great lesson. 

The lesson is that when faced with a crisis that threatens so many people, human beings will find it in their hearts to be more loving towards each other. 

I believe that this crisis will draw us all together closer. 

Like the beautiful butterfly, we will emerge from the cocoon of intolerance and hate. We will fly upon the wind of our loving God who has always believed in us.

The virus will allow our great planet to emerge from pain to a place of great healing. 

Will you join me in this great hope for us?

You Deserve To Be Supported

The pr ocess of writing my book has been so interesting. So many opportunities for me to look at myself and the way that I approach things. One of the most interesting opportunities is the one around the ability to say that I don't understand something. This brings me to what I wanted to  write about here.  That is this false belief that I should be able to know something before I know it. Yes, I read that sentence and say that doesn't even make sense. But, how many of us have taken on a project thinking we should not be able to ask questions about it? It's like the person  (not that I have even done this:) who gets lost driving, but refuses to ask for directions. Truth is our GPS takes care of that most of the time, but there are still times we need to ask.  If the goal of doing a project is to get it done is to get it done, it just makes sense to ask questions. Right? Well, the inability to ask questions usually stems from deeper issues that cannot be just...

Your Soul is a Wonderous Place

  Your soul is a wonderous place with vast regions of openness being filled by God’s love. Into this expansiveness comes the energy of the universe. It’s the very energy that created the birds, the plants, human beings, the beautiful tree you lean against on a hot day, and the ocean you explore. You soul is so beautiful that it came before your body existed and will exist long after your body fades away. The human body is a fallible, short-lived, temporary home for your soul. While the body is magnificent, it will only be here a very short time. While the body is here the soul must be allowed to shine. The more we allow our soul to shine, the healthier the entire person is. And even if the body is not working to our liking, we can still revel in the magnificence of our soul. Allow me to tell you a story of my friend Lucille. She is 94 years young. When my wife and I ride our bikes around our community we often see her taking her daily walk. From a distance, you would think sh...

Honoring The Long Road to Success

There is a part of my mind that tells me that I should be able to achieve great results just by some sheer act of will power on my part. This idea of getting into the trenches and doing the hard work of the daily grind somehow has eluded me. And, yet it is this daily grind that ultimately achieves the success I'm looking for. Yesterday I drove past a new housing development. I observed that this development took many months before any buildings were placed on it. I was reminded that it is the foundation of the homes that takes a long time to lay. A solid foundation must be in place to support the above ground structure. Our lives are like this home. If I do not honor the long process of building a foundation I will become frustrated by my lack of process. I will start to get upset when things are not moving fast enough. I will find myself procrastinating, because if I can't do it right the first time then I quit. I am reminded of my old "friend" perfecti...
