Sometimes I do it even when I don't feel like it, and when I do, it makes always me feel better. It sets the tone for my day. Just Being In Nature My temperament is best suited for spending time … [Read more...]

In Honor Of My Grandmother

In Honor Of My Grandmother

So much of my life force in this lifetime has been spent in accepting and understanding myself as a spiritual human being.  Growing up I felt so different, separate from my family and as I got older different and separate from friends.  And all the time my mother would confirm it by saying “where did you come from.” My ideas and thoughts did not coincide and merge with the prevailing worldview of my traditional Italian parents and caused them a lot of grief especially in my later teen … [Read more...]

Grace Is All Around Us

Grace Is All Around...

Everything Is Grace St. Theresa, the Little Flower, is one of my favorite saints.  Every time I think about her, I feel the childlike wonder, and simplicity.  Her greatest teaching is “everything is grace”. These words were actually spoken during the darkest period of her life, yet today she speaks to us of hope.  She realized that when we unite our will to the will of the Invisible Reality or God, if you wish, we open the door to have hidden and mysterious graces unfold before … [Read more...]

Braco’s Gaze

Braco's Gaze

“We all carry a seed inside, which can be a beautiful fruit one day.”- Braco       These words come from a  man who is a sparkler igniting the sparks of hundreds of thousands of people across Europe and now the United States.  Braco does not have a philosophy, he is not a guru, does not claim to be a healer.  As a matter of fact, he does not read any books because he does not want to fill himself up with information from other people.  He simply gazes for 5 -7 … [Read more...]

A Tribute to My Father

A Tribute to My Father

My father was more of a mentor than a father to me.  For many years, I felt disappointed and depressed because he did not fit my preconceived notion of what a father is.  My relationships reflected back to me my deepest longings. During the last thirteen years of his life, I got to see parts of my father I had previously never seen and never known. At 91 years of age, he still had a fine mind, remembering Latin and French he had studied as a young man.  You could ask him anything of his … [Read more...]
