Last updated on: August 8, 2024 at 5:17 pm By Kathy King

“The current fever dream has no chance against the forces of love. Love is a spotlight in the dark stage that you can go stand in, right in this minute, or later today, maybe after lunch, as soon as you remember and decide to.” Anne Lamott It is kind of hard to not think we are fever dreaming at the moment Each day when I open up the news I slowly peek through my eyes, take a breath, say a...

Last updated on: July 19, 2024 at 9:46 am By Kathy King

“Time is a purgatory that has cleansed all fury from my memory.” Sándor Márai I’ve been reading a lot about the mindset of the world at the moment.

There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the highest creed. Woodrow Wilson Right now the times seem fractured It’s peak political season here in the US. Most of the people I talk to are so tired of it, like 2 years ago. The mud slinging and ugliness have been given about one hundred energy drinks and it has caused everything to kick into high gear.

“Clutter is not just the stuff on your floor-it’s anything that stands between you and the life you want to be living.” Peter Walsh Have you ever considered cleaning out your spiritual refrigerator? Cleaning. Yuck, right? Recently I undertook the just laborious task of cleaning out our refrigerator. Why do I refer to the task as laborious? Honestly, the refrigerator was neglected.
