SOUL LETTER TO MY DAUGHTER
Hello Child, With regard to your first question, if you can grasp and know the totality of your Being-all of the layers, and most importantly, the Divine within, then you know who you are. The Divine is living through you-all your motivations, thoughts, and actions are the Divine vibrations playing out in your unique being-separate but connected to all. You get to decide what to do, think, and feel. Remember that your will and your intention are the most powerful forces in the universe. What corrupts the Self is the blindness to all these layers of Being. If you have faith in the core of who you are beyond all that you "know," then you have what you need to trust.

all about love
I have a viney plant that sprouts beautiful red blooms (Red Mandevilla) that we keep inside in the winter and outside on a balcony in the summer. It usually doesn’t bloom too much in the winter but continues to grow and vine its way around. In the late spring when we put it out on the balcony, it continues to vine wrapping itself around the balusters. Once the vines are firmly rooted, it starts to bloom. In thinking about love and the book all about love: New Visions by bell hooks, this is the image that came to mind. Only through knowing, accepting, and loving the self can we reveal our love to others. Like the vine, it is only when we are anchored in who we are that we can show our beautiful gifts, in love or otherwise.

Autobibliotherapy
One of the ways my heart guides me is through books. When I need some wisdom, a book will be presented for me to read, or a memory from one will pop up to soothe my aches. Today I am thinking of Viktor Frankl, not because my pain is anything close to what he experienced (as if there were a pain scale) but more because I need to be reminded of a bigger purpose, a more expanded view of life.

A Winter Story
“Oh Jim I need to go.” “Darling you don’t need to go, you want to go. I get it. You want a break. But, why don’t you go to the beach where it will be warm and you can drink cocktails on the beach? Why go to the mountains in the winter where it will be freezing. It is freezing right here in the Midwest. That seems crazy.”
