July 24, 2011 – Even though most people seem to believe that Amy Winehouse died of an overdose Scotland Yard is saying, so far, her death is “unexplained.” 
July 23, 2011 – It’s sad to say that many saw this coming. According to reports Amy Winehouse was found dead in her home today. Sky News and BBC reported police sources as confirming the 27-year-old singer's death. 
- While in deep hypnosis I lifted her arm and with suggestion told her to go back to her most current past life. When her arm plopped down she found herself in a tent. 
As Raymond Charles Barker wrote in his classic book Treat Yourself To Life: (paraphrased) I have discovered that the rules laid down for the good of humanity and its progress work only when they are interpreted in terms of the inner person, not the outer person. 
- For many years now I’ve consciously, actively been on my spiritual journey. It’s been a twisty, curvy kind of off road track, meandering here and there, sloughing it up hills, careening out of control down hills. 
- Myth 1 - "Tarot cards can predict the future." Predicting the future is not difficult we can all do it. If for example you know someone who is consistently spending more than they earn and paying for it by building up a credit card debt then it's not hard to predict where that one is heading. 
- I’ve heard it said that holding on to unforgiveness is like taking poison while hoping the other person will die. The truth is, unforgiveness punishes you far worse than the person who did you harm. Chances are they have gone on about their life, clueless to the fact that you are still suffering and full of anger. 
- Grammy Award-winning vocalist Sade has announced her highly anticipated return to the live stage, and fans in North America will see her first. Her tour begins on June 16, 2011, in Baltimore, MD, at the 1st Mariner Arena. 
- As a teacher of how to use one's mind to manifest the things a person wants, I very often get the objection, "But what if what I want isn't what the Universe, my Higher Self, wants for me?" 
- The Sanskrit for Horoscope is “Kundali”. The birth chart or natal chart in Sanskrit is then called “Janma Kundali”. By definition a horoscope depicts the position of all the planets in heaven for given date, time and sun sign. This date and time is critical because planets are in constant motion and their positions are continuously changing.

Where Does Your Spiritual Rubber Meet Your Road? I like to think that along the way I developed some wisdom but honestly I think it boils down to that I just started choosing what was right for me. Somewhere along the line I stopped worrying about having to know it all and gave up trying to piece it all together. I also stopped trying to find the best path or the one true path and instead I began believing in just knowing me and honoring myself and my spiritual needs. I noticed that I began to feel really grounded, stable and centered. I had finally come to the place where my spiritual rubber met my road. I knew where I was at and where I was going and why I needed to get there. |

Choosing the Right Trip Package My spiritual quest, like for many others, has been hugely accelerated by the information so readily available on the Internet. Cyber space is filled with a staggering volume of material and teachers. It can be a daunting task to sift through it all with a degree of personal clarity and self-appreciation. Many people have strong opinions which they are very eager to share, some people pass along other people's opinions, some people just want to talk and are barely aware of what they are saying. It’s all done to influence others. Spiritual growth is on a global fast track and if you are not careful you run the risk of being swept along in a current of thought and belief that does not reflect your truest best interest. In a world that teaches non-judgment, compassion, tolerance and equality it can be a challenging task to actually critically decipher what is best for you and what isn’t. Come to understand how you learn, what you need to learn, and also what you already truly know in the core of your being. Never let someone else’s truth over-ride your own. We all have our own learning curve and our own pace. Determine and then respect yours. |

Choosing the Spiritual Vehicle of Your Expression Some you can cross off the list right from the start based on your personal tastes. Don't even entertain the idea of one unless it puts a smile on your face and makes your heart beat just a little faster. Then you decide what your main function for the vehicle is; everyday convenience, getting there quickly, toting your life along with you, agility and quick stops, starts and turns or comfort for the long haul. Then comes the fun part...the test drives. Try them out... all of them...everything that tickles your fancy. In the end the winner will be the one that matches your purpose the best. And therein lies the conundrum...what's the purpose? Which part of you are you trying to put in the driver's seat? Is it the over taxed, exhausted aspect that wants a little simple happiness, the caregiver looking for a happy compromise for everyone's sake, or maybe the renegade that's longing to jump into a new adventure searching for the holy grail? Or are you looking for tried and true, reliability and common sense? Just choose. We can always trade in vehicles as we change and grow. There is a spiritual discipline for everyone. Be specific. Don’t judge yourself. Accept your needs and wants. You don’t need to drive the same car as your best friend – don’t feel you need to navigate life by the same spiritual path. |

October 6, 2010 - For many years now I’ve consciously, actively been on my spiritual journey. It’s been a twisty, curvy kind of off road track, meandering here and there, sloughing it up hills, careening out of control down hills. All of it allowing me the opportunity to investigate, explore and face the challenges of taking the road less traveled. Some of it has been difficult, some of it lonely, some of it terrifying but all of it rewarding. Looking back I see the distractions and the superfluous pieces that I couldn’t see at the time. Turns out that everything wasn’t important after all. Some of it was just avoidance some of it just drama to occupy an idle mind.
