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…

The Energy of Things
A dear friend of mine, a celebrated British fashion designer, once told me that she never bought vintage clothes because she didn’t want ‘to get jangled up by other people’s energy’. I never found old clothes or even old furniture a problem. However I do get weird energy off antique jewelry, and I think I…
Wow! 100,000 hits
Today this little blog clocked 100,000 hits. Laura would be amazed. I am. Wow! Wow! Wow! Laura and I started this blog together on July 4, 2013 to reach out to family and friends when Laura was sick. Next week it will turn two. It has reached people in over 130 countries. Thank you dear…
Kitchen Aid
My cooking has gotten a noticeable fillip since Laura died. I suspect she is in the kitchen giving me a hand. I am serious. I’ve cooked all my life (3 meals a day) But since Laura passed, everything comes out much better, even when I am not looking. I taught Laura my few tricks in…
Creation (the quantum view)
I always thought you needed a time machine to travel back in time. But with hypnotherapy you can jump into the past and up to heaven without leaving your armchair. It sounds crazy when you read it like that. But really is it any odder than quantum physics? Cutting edge physicists believe that nothing in…
What The Soul Sees
I love this story from Brian Weiss’s book ‘Same Soul Many Bodies’. A top cardiologist at Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami told Weiss how he had worked feverishly to resuscitate an elderly woman in a diabetic coma. There was little hope because of her severe condition and in the rush to help the cardiologist dropped…
Pennies From Heaven
Yesterday a friend warned that I might be holding Laura’s spirit back; keeping her from important spiritual work by talking to her and enjoying her spiritual presence. It is an opinion I’ve heard before. A year ago I might have agreed. For a while I thought her spirit could only be in one place at…
It’s curtains for you, my friend!
A tale of two friends both recently widowed. Their lives splintered. Nothing now fits together as it did before. But a tale of two extremes. One lost her faith along with her partner. She reasoned: ‘How could there be a loving God who cruelly severs people from their soul mates?’ The other’s grief didn’t slam…
10 Years
These past 10 years have been the hardest of my life. Almost exactly a year ago, Laura’s CT scan came back with pages and pages of new cancer tumors. They poured out of the fax machine in what seemed to be a never ending stream, detailing tumors in her bones, and every organ except her…
What is God?
Barbara Brown Taylor (an Episcopal priest)’s wonderfully simple and inspired answers to the profound questions what is God, Religion and what is Spirituality? God: Some, beyond my conception, divine consciousness. The space between the stars that is also the space between you and me that is liquid and alive with possibilities. Skin is kind of…
