Peace Can Be Fun!

Yes!  Peace can be fun — and is fun at Peace Village!

Here, see for yourself…. Peace Village is surrounded by these majestic mountains:   Classes were held both indoors and outdoors: Peace Village Co-Directors: ~~~~ ~~~~ As I’ve said on numerous Continue reading >>

What's the Name of Your Village?

I hear a lot of talk about Tribes and Villages.  They seem to be the new words/concepts for how we used to say, “My peeps.”  Regardless of the vernacular we use, we know when we’re among them.  These are the people who See us.  Because they want to see us, but also because we allow ourselves to be seen by them.  We breathe a little bit easier when among our tribe. [Aside prayer:  I pray that one day I will be comfortable enough in my own skin to breathe easily no matter who I’m with or what the circumstance may Continue reading >>

Please join me in welcoming guest blogger and talented photographer Carla Royal to Trust Life Today, in an original piece of hers that spoke volumes to me.  Thank you for sharing with us, Carla. “Still waters run deep.”  English Proverb It’s been a month since I’ve written in my journal and probably that long since I’ve sat in meditation and read spiritual literature.  I’ve done all three today and intend for this to be the first day of the return to my morning practices.  They are important to me.  They make a difference in the quality of my life and Continue reading >>

How Would You Live if You Could Trust Life Fully?

Today’s article, “How Would You Live if You Could Trust Life Fully?” comes to us from guest blogger and friend, Doug Stearns.  As I sat down to write my last article, “Synchronicity Magnet,” I had Doug in mind.  Here’s our synchronicity story: On my recent trip to New Mexico, I kept stumbling upon labyrinths, three to be exact.  When I mentioned this to Doug, I was shocked to hear the way we became friends began with him taking a class on labyrinths!  Long story short, he took this class and was quite moved by something the facilitator said.  So much Continue reading >>
