All he wanted to do was come through the door like the six of us did, walk freely. I’m a member of a hospice choir, and we just finished...

Our egos are built with thick walls fortified by our childhood experiences, our need to fit in, our want for success, our inner judge

Life has been very challenging. Life happens and I have felt helpless and despairing at times. Change is hard.

This is not goodbye. Today is about welcoming you home. You’ve climbed out of the cave and are atop the mountain.

When I receive a diagnosis, I am set up for expectations. How can I be in expectancy?

Expectancy has been mentioned in 61 of Shirley’s daily meditation readings. And I began wondering when and where we’ve defined the word.

I’ve been working with a healer over the past 2 months to help me clear suffering from my body. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

We have dreams and goals, and yet many of us are stuck somewhere, feeling unable to achieve what we want. What's stopping me?

Last night in an energy practice circle I shared my vulnerability and revealed my doubts about my inner wisdom. Will my thoughts ever quiet?

Yesterday was a day in my history. I lived without a net. I stayed in the present. I didn’t look forward or back. It was a free day.
