“It’s not so terrible after all” – how to live like Alice

A friend shared with me a video clip “Alice Dancing Under the Gallows” of 106 year old Alice Herz-Sommer.  Alice is the oldest living Holocaust survivor.   She credits her survival of the Holocaust to her music, as she was sent to a special camp – a “purgatory for artists and musicians”.  “I used to play […]

Aunt Clara’s 3 ways to live to 99+ – free and laughing!

I spoke to my dear Aunt Clara a few days ago – the Aunt Clara who is my WOW (What an Old Woman) and is busy planning her 100th birthday party next April (she’s not sure yet whether it will be at her home or a hotel … but will let me know).  Throughout the […]

Bring it on God!

I just received word of yet another disappointment.  I had submitted a proposal to work  in Dominica, one of my favourite places in the world.  It was not accepted. As I graciously acknowledged the rejection – oh have I come a long way to be gracious in the face of rejection – I remembered the […]

Cleaning up the oil spill – with love

I switched off CNN a few hours ago, shortly after President Obama’s address to the American nation about the oil gushing into the Gulf.  I just could not take any more of the bickering between Republicans and Democrats, the sensationalising of the media and the general negativity and fear surrounding this accident.  There must be […]

Oneness – “We are all saying the same thing” – One Love

“We are all saying the same thing” Louise Hay declared in her opening address at the I CAN DO IT conference in Toronto.  She was introducing the line-up of luminaries who would be addressing us throughout the day, and reminding us that all of them are saying the same, basic thing.  Speaker after speaker reminded […]

Making love operational …

“Love is the answer” – easy to say, not so difficult to do.  I look at the crises in my home country Jamaica, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, political turmoil in Thailand, and innumerable crises begging for solutions that are different to what has been tried before.  I keep my mantra “Love […]

The TRUTH of Jamaica

As violence and unrest rage in Kingston, Jamaica – and so many other places in the world – it is good to take the high road, and look with the eyes of love and forgiveness.  I share this affirmation with you wherever you are in the world – for Jamaica, and for anywhere else where […]

Love is the answer …. now what is the question?

My island home of Jamaica is facing a political crisis the likes of which it has never seen. Frankly, the crisis has been brewing and escalating for decades.  But we have managed to stay in a place of denial, warmed by the lovely sea and mountain breezes, blinded by the hot, bright sunlight, comforted by […]

Doing life, cancer positive

Monique is the daughter of friends who I have watched grow from a child into adulthood.  I have also watched her deal with a diagnosis of cancer.  I have seen her at home, on television, in yoga class, at book readings, at church.  And Monique is always smiling and positive.   A few months ago, the […]
