Conversations on the Journey
Every person’s journey is different, from trauma to healing, from betrayal to finding a way to trust again. On days there were bus delays due to weather, my mother, sister and I used to sit in the early morning hours, and talk over hot tea–one of my few and cherished memories of us together.
Consider this an invitation for you to join me in our own tea and conversation, and explore not only the things that hurt us and the things that heal, but the hurting in our world and our hope for it.
Are you ready? Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable. I’ll put the kettle on.

Somehow, being realistic has come to mean being […]
Dear Dreamer, Going into the New Year, I am filled with hope, but I cannot pretend I’m not shaken by what I see. The specter of war looms ahead and I wonder if we will call it into our reality or draw the line. This is a time when it could be so easy to […]
It’s important to speak out, to use your voice. In this time of dissension and hate, it’s important to share the thoughts that are meaningful to you — To speak of love and kindness. To shift one’s perspective. To find beauty in the moment. Not to escape but to feed your self, your soul. Don’t […]
Love does not require you to be perfect to shine through you. Our task is to decide how we will express that love, in what ways love will enter into this world through the portal of our lives. Not whether we’re deserving of this task or not. The idea of being a channel for love […]
