“The only drag about adulthood is we think we need to act like an adult.”
-Rev. Patrick Feren

I just came across this quote from the time I was on the Sacred Journey of Childlike Wonder about a month ago. It was something I needed to hear today because I have been struggling a little with adulting in the last couple days. What does that mean exactly? It means that I was not finding joy in what may be considered the mundane tasks of living.

“Know that nothing can hinder you but yourself. If you believe you can, you can. You cannot fail if you start with the proposition that Life is all there is.”
-Ernest Holmes

How do we make it work?

We don’t. 

That’s the good and bad news of it all. I think I have been challenged by faith lately. It seems to be at the forefront of my mind, and it is being reflected around me. I was having a conversation recently with someone who is looking to make change in life and the question that kept coming up was, “What do I do?”

“When you squeeze an orange, orange juice comes out–because that’s what’s inside. When you are squeezed, what comes out is what’s inside.”
-Wayne Dyer

Language is challenging. In the Science of Mind we often refer to “The Word” of God and reference the power of “The Word” as the impetus for all creation. But what is “The Word.”

I am trying something new. I have been wanting to return to podcasting after some time away. So I am offering my musings in both podcast and written form. You can listen. You can read. You can listen and read! Enjoy!

Every negative event contains within it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.

This may be the most important blog I’ve written. It starts with this important question:

How do I deal with the crap the Universe is throwing in my direction?

The answer is more than can be illuminated in one blog entry. So here is one small expression of possibility…

I believe there is a Universal presence that is aligning itself in myriad ways to create. All that exists is this Universal presence as form. The tangible expression of the intangible and ineffable. I teach that this presence is always working for our highest good.

So why does crap happen?

“I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.”-
Rosa Parks

What if it is all true?

What if it really works to live in faith rather than fear?

Sometimes I feel like these questions needs to be asked. In the work do I observe people around me whose baseline approach to living is letting fear be their guide (and I do this occasionally too). Fear is the norm. We are given warnings all the time, from the first time we hear “no” or “stop” as infants, to the constant warnings on TV and in media we are bombarded with as adults. We have become desensitized.
