Soul Heritage
I’m praying for the Ukrainian nation where last century’s atrocities want to barge into this century. I pray we learn from history! In honor of my Ukrainian roots, I’m sharing a small tribute I wrote a few years ago to my paternal grandmother who fled from Ukraine over a hundred years ago as a 16 […]
Soul themes
Attentiveness – as I recognize things in my soul that are intruders or annoyances; things that want to stick around and harass, Do I just put up with it? What’s my theme or attitude toward what’s going on in me and how is that informed? How does it carry out into my day? I […]
Soul Connection
We can lose connection with our soul in the normal flow of life, especially in intense times. Taking time and making the effort to re-connect is vital to our well-being.

Soul Storage
There is an ever-increasing demand for storage facilities in the US. When looking recently at options for a temporary need, we couldn’t believe the price and how few were available. Paying to store stuff… Storage costs money. It can get to the point of taking away needed resources and energy. Our bodies and our souls […]
Soul Spelunking
“An unhealed person can find offense in pretty much anything someone does. A healed person understands that the actions of others have absolutely nothing to do with them.” Reading this, quoted by Michele Cushatt, reinforced how often this plays itself out and how needy we are for “soul spelunking”.
