I’ve never seen our country so divided. My heart breaks at the lengths people are going to in the us vs. them battles: Republican vs. Democrat, Black vs. White, Pro-Law Enforcement vs. Anti-police and those who believe COVID is a pandemic vs. those who don’t. Where once crossing the congressional aisle was sound politics, [...]
While hiking through the coastal old growth redwoods, I witnessed rebirth everywhere. Out of the demise of a majestic fallen tree, its corpse hosted hundreds, if not thousands of life forms including fledgling redwoods. Called nurse trees, these fallen giants created life from their death. The same is true for us in a metaphorical [...]
Like me, you’ve probably spent some of your younger years stifling who you were in hopes that: people would like you more, they’d see themselves in you or you would find your tribe, whether it was in school, church or the workplace. Well, I’m over fitting in. I don’t want to pretend to be [...]
For me, Christmas is an excellent reminder of the power of love. The love that Christ taught us about: an unconditional gift that each and every one of us receives. A love we don’t have to earn. A love that encourages us to always be our best. A love that connects us to each other. [...]

They wonder if they’d still be sick if they possessed a stronger faith or if they’d just learn a specific lesson. [...]
Everything that comes to us is on God’s schedule, not ours. And to get the most from every day, we can benefit greatly by regularly practicing three actions: releasing, accepting and receiving. #1 Release the past, limiting thoughts and the notion that you’re in control We can’t meaningfully enhance our life until we let [...]
My transcendent night with the spirits in the Goldfield Hotel opened my third eye. Suddenly, I found myself receiving divine messages, and started seeing and hearing energies. I thought I’d lost my mind. But even worse, I’d believed I was destined for hell. Why? Because a church I’d once belonged to preached the evils [...]
I’ve just been notified that Central Nevada’s Goldfield Hotel, which has been closed to the public, is now accepting reservations for tours and night-time paranormal investigations. This is the building where I encountered extraordinary paranormal activity with a TV news crew in 2007 (see my book, A Reluctant Spirit). Goldfield Hotel Here is [...]
