Sticking with Faith



Who knows why each of us do the things we do or what causes us to stick with some things and to abandon others. Why we may delve in with passion one minute and completely lose interest the next? It may be a matter of sticking with faith rather than things.

Thinking about sticking with one thing, or not . . .  I have done so many things in my life but with how many have I stayed? And does it matter if I didn’t? Lots of my friends and acquaintances are out over the holidays attending Broadway shows, holiday gatherings, shopping and dining at high-end places, taking mountain ski trips or Christmas cruises because they stuck something out (you know, forty years of nine-to-five), while I am here recycling last year’s Christmas cards into name tags, trying to figure out how to make a wreath from four pine cones and a piece of discarded frosted wedding decor because I chose instead to live on simple faith. Yet I have accomplished much; some in little ways and some in big ways. And, some of us just may have simpler ambitions, ambitions of the heart rather than the wallet. I believe it is my simple ambitions that have allowed me to follow my heart and to stick to my faith which led me to find love and a soulmate, God, friendship, beauty, creativity, knowledge, and  a lot of trial and error, but always, always, a life filled by Divine purpose. A life built on keeping faith and finding success in faith. 


It is not easy choosing to live on faith but that is the choice I made decades ago. I guess at least I can say it is the one thing with which I did stick, and to me, it is the one thing that matters. God has always provided both in terms of material need and soulful desire. The balance of my checking account does not weigh in comparison to the balance of my soul, thankfully. I am so thankful I chose to live on faith.

Give wings to your faith and do what you want to do; your faith will see you through.

Beauty for the Body; Beauty for the Mind; Beauty for the Soul

Get your journey on! Your soul-journey.

Enlightenment and Awakening Easier Than We Think

After decades of seeking enlightenment and awakening, I now understand that these things; these ideas, these concepts, have been so over complicated and made to seem as if they are a state unattainable to most. It is made to seem that that they are only to be achieved by the great masters. Though nothing is black and white, on the one hand, there may be degrees; but on the other hand can you be only partially awake? Partially enlightened? Either you are or you are not. As long as I was seeking to be, I was not, for seeking kept me so busy that I could not settle within myself long enough to wake up. And both terms are as simple as that: waking up, allowing the light of God to illuminate our spiritual sight. There are no fireworks, it is not some un-achievable level (like some religions and philosophies would have us believe). It is a simple matter of waking up. All that is required is to allow God to move into your “house” and let the light shine. This begins with asking Him

Words Across Time

Words linger. Whether it is audible, something spoken to us or something we read, words linger in our minds and stick like glue. Words are one of the few things that set us apart from all the other animals and living things, we can speak. Is it any wonder that the memory of a mother’s soft coo can so strongly calm and send us to the kitchen for a cup of coco or that the memory of a scolding can set us trembling? Words are positive, negative or neutral; neutral words have little effect but words of a positive or negative nature can lift up and inspire or tear down and destroy. In a sense, they are our strongest power and thus the power of words move with us across time. St. Catherine Christine de Pisan Whether I am reading the Bible or an ancient manuscript crafted out a thousand or more years ago by isolated monks on some remote island or a contemporary twentieth century author who has now passed, it never ceases to amaze me that I get to hear their thoughts acr
