‘You are an extension of source energy. You are eternal beings that have come forth from broader non-physical consciousness to experience life, deliberately creating on this leading edge.’ – Abraham Hicks

On Kindness
‘When I was young I admired clever people. Now that I am old I admire kind people’ – Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
Laura Speaks
If you regularly read this blog, you’ll know I sometimes ask Laura: ‘Send me something lovely!’ And invariably something fun happens. Today I was walking home from the subway and asked Laura to surprise me. I started singing ‘Pennies From Heaven’ in hopes of finding lots of pennies. I guess I was trying to force…
Only Love Remains
We all return to love at the end. A hospice volunteer told me recently that every patient, no matter how angry, dissolves into love in the days or weeks before they pass. Watching the haunting but beautiful movie ‘Still Alice’ and listening to Krista Tippett discussing Alzheimer’s with psychologist Alan Dienstag, I wonder if alzheimers…
Laura’s Posts
Two friends recently expressed surprise when I mentioned that Laura posted quite a bit in the early days of this blog. So I’ve created a special link to all of ‘Laura’s Posts’ (you reach it by clicking the menu icon – looks like a bunch of layers – on the top right hand side of…
The Circle of Kindness
What a difference a day makes. Four little acts of kindness helped nudge me out of my funk yesterday. First my mum phoned and said ‘Just come home dear, we’ll look after you!’ I can’t tell you how sweet and heartening it is to have parents who still want to look after you even when…
Burn Out
We are such strange and complex creatures. I can barely understand myself never mind anyone else. On one level I am having a wonderful staycation in New York – hang-gliding, roller disco, going to the beach, outdoor concerts and catching up with friends. But I also feel profoundly exhausted and burnt out. The word ‘burnt’…
Golden Rain
It is funny, whenever a well-meaning friend or acquaintance hints that I ought to let Laura’s spirit go – as if I’ve somehow got her ghost by the ankles and am holding her captive in this realm – Laura starts being all mischievous and dancing around in front of me. When someone said it on…
Intuition
Prayer is the phone call and intuition is the answer – Christiane Northrup
Uniquely You
“Because there is only one of you in all of time, [your] expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good [your expression] is, nor how valuable, nor how…
Free Bird
I’ve always wanted to fly like a bird. Yesterday I got my wish. My co-pilot, Thomas at (Hangar3 Middletown, NY) let my fly for a bit over a mile above ground (nearly 6,000 feet). Then he showed me how it’s really done with lots of rolls, stalls and swooping turns. It couldn’t have been more…
One of my heroes
If there was an Olympics for original thinking and indomitable spirit, Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross would win double gold. She is the most spirited and spiritually broad-minded person I’ve ever read about. Disobeying her father’s wish that she become a secretary, she quit her family home in Switzerland and hitchhiked through war torn Europe in the…
Larkspur for Laura
Whenever I leave my building with my little folding chair under my arm, I joke with the doormen that I am off to visit my office. I often work under the trees in Carl Schurz park where Laura and I used to sit. The great thing about writing is you can do it anywhere. Carl…
Send Me Something Lovely…!
I often say to Laura ‘Send me something lovely’ as I head to my local park, and magically I’ll have a beautiful encounter with birds, butterflies or dogs. This time I was over the moon to find a tiny dormouse in the grass next to my picnic blanket. In the 25 years that I’ve lived here, I’ve…
