  • How Trees Teach Us About Life and Manifestation

    Lately I’ve been having images of myself as a tree. Today my meditation was no different. I felt roots grow out of my feet, anchoring me to the ground. I felt my arms as branches reaching up to the sky. I felt the warmth of the sun on my “leaves”. I could feel a squirrel…

  • Recommitting to Spirituality: Lessons from My Journey

    It was almost a year ago that I started writing this blog. I started out all excited and writing every day. Then it slowed down to every few days. Then once a week. And now I’m having a hard time coming with things to write about. When I started my spiritual journey, I knew my…

  • Embracing the Sandhill Crane: A Spring Symbol

    It is time for migration in the Midwest. For me this means a return of the sandhill crane to my hometown. I’ve always welcomed them and looked forward to seeing them in the fields and marshes. I had not thought to write about them until today. I kept seeing them every few minutes as I…
