My Partner is Out of This World
Some of you may remember my talking about the rainbows in my herb garden. It was about this time last year when I first mentioned it. Allow me to sketch a quick back story in case you missed it because it's back on my mind. I have a spot in my back yard, above my herb garden, where I can create a rainbow at will. I
Mea Cupla from Video Woman and a DVD Give-a-Way of Heart Wide Open
I’ve had zero qualms about chatting up the world about Heart Wide Open, at least in the book format. The DVD teaching? Not so much. And that’s not right. My relative silence doesn’t do justice to do the message of Heart Wide Open and it definitely doesn’t honor the self-sacrificing labor that so many people poured into the DVD’s release.

Clearly, he'd just decided that
Don’t Play the Shame Game

The animals are posed alongside posters announcing their worst canine crimes to the whole wide world. For instance, one such sign might say, "I love rolling in dead things that wash up on the lake bank so Mama has to give me a bath." Why, yes, I am
Fully Accepted and Always Welcome
Have you seen that commercial about the monk trying to be in perfect harmony with nature? It's an oldie that always makes me smile in a "I remember that" sort of way. Oh, not the part where he turns over that sweet turtle that's trapped on its back, although I would definitely do that! And not the part where he scoops up a spider indoors and
Don’t Try to Live For Jesus Without Living With Jesus
It's exhausting!
