Sometimes you look at the world around you through the window of your TV screen, computer, or phone, and it seems like there’s a hurricane going on out there. Debris is being flung around by the winds of hatred, politics, war, pollution, and disease. You feel like it must be the end. We’re all going […]

This morning, just before we went out for our morning doggy walk, I said, “We’re going to see red-winged blackbirds today.” We haven’t seen them since fall. They flew south for the winter, as they always do. But for the past 3 days, I’ve been feeling them near, and I just knew this morning was […]
Discover MoreToday is release day for A YEAR OF BLISS! One day, after a beautiful meditation, I was inspired to gather up all the Bliss Blog posts from 2019 and put them together into a book. It was only after all the work was done, and we were on to publishing said book, that it occurred […]

It’s a brand new year, and BlissBlog.org is experiencing a huge growth spurt. So I thought this would be a great time for an LOA 101 post. You know, for newcomers. It’s easier to dive into a placid lake than whitewater rapids, after all. Besides, revisiting the basics is never a bad idea. So let’s […]

Mystics and sages have always known the power of the in-between. The most powerful times for magic, for example, are in-between times: dawn which is the precipice between night and day, and dusk, between day and night. Midnight is the fulcrum between today and tomorrow, noon the tipping point from morning to afternoon, and so […]

This is my second Winter Solstice post this year, but I felt inspired, so here you go! The shortest day, the longest night. No matter what came over the past year, you can release it into the darkness of this magical night. You can let it go. It’s the perfect night for letting go of […]
