Ciao and Sacred Sunday to you: How was your week? Do you feel Spring in the air? Have you done something that made you smile or laugh out loud? Did you receive the grace of wonder while holding your grandchild, watching the sun rise or sit in the company of your Brilliant self? If not,…
Ciao and Sacred Sunday to you: I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how for so many years of my life I made up stories in my head regarding well…myself, my family, other people, the circumstances in my life… I think you get the picture. And I have to be honest, often those stories were not pretty. In…
Ciao and Sacred Sunday to you: Not everyone has been blessed, as I was, with a beautiful relationship with their mother. May 30th will be the third anniversary of my mom’s passing. I miss her dearly.

However, if you look a little deeper, you’ll find the golden thread that weaves them together. As well as the…
Ciao and Sacred Sunday to you:It’s hard to believe that March is soon coming to a close and Spring is upon us. For this Arizona transplant, glamping through different states with temperature and weather variations is both welcomed and surprising. As our pace slows down a bit, I still find that my mind hasn’t yet received the…
Ciao and Sacred Sunday to you: Do you remember when you were a kid returning to school after a holiday break, and your teacher assigned you homework to write an essay, “what I did over my summer vacation?” Well, that’s kind of what this email is like…what I did over the months and months and months of…
