“Take time to do what makes your soul shine and you will radiate light wherever you go.” Dear Universe, I can’t believe I am back on Martha’s Vineyard for a two week stay. For a while I wasn’t sure it would work to return this year, so when the trip came together a little at the last minute, I was …
Cigar Bar
“Maybe it’s like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace.” ~Raul Julia Dear Universe, I’m a crier. I cry over sentimental cards, sappy commercials, unexpected compliments or a well-timed joke. I cry when I …
Present in the Present
“Clearly, all fear has an element of resistance and a leaning away from the moment.

Take a Breather
“If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.” ~Amit Ray Dear Universe, In the last few years I have realized something about myself. I have discovered I run on two speeds. One can be described as go, go, go. The other as slow, slow, slow. There is no in between. And …

D’Angelo Dear Universe, I’m a big believer in listening to your gut, your instinct, that voice inside your head—however we refer to it. In fact, I can remember distinct instances when I listened to my intuition and immediately after I was glad I did. I …
Merry, Merry
“Peace is not something you wish for, it is something you make, something you are, something you do, and something you give away.” ~ Robert Fulghum Dear Universe, I can’t believe it’s already December!
