Act: you know what’s required

A lot happens this week. It will set the tone not just for the week nor the month, but for the rest of 2024 and beyond.

You’re being called to reopen an old chestnut you hoped you wouldn’t have to. You know how they say lessons repeat until they’re learned? What have you been trying to learn since 2008? What kind of karmic issues seem to come back and haunt you over and over since then? 

This may sound daunting and for some it will be. That said, 2008 was a long time ago and you’re a completely different person now. Chances are, as you crack open the chestnut, things won’t be as bad as you expected. Even if they are, you have until November to put things right. 

How might you do this, you may ask? Make the changes you’ve been avoiding. Take the risk you have been uncertain about. Discover just how powerful you are.

“God helps those who help themselves” and no one is coming to save you. Do what you have to do this week to cross the T’s and dot the I’s. Take the action you know is required. It matters not how much you do or don’t “feel like it.”

I always ski on June 1st. Some years, the lifts are running, and I’m surrounded by a thousand of my closest friends and fellow ski bums, the line wrapping around the base lodge. Some of us are there for the bragging rights, others for the free t-shirt, and some time at the Umbrella Bar. There’s…

Drawing on inspiration

I know it was second grade because I remember the classroom. And I know what teacher was involved because I never forgot her or the moment I’m about to highlight. The year was 1974. I don’t have many memories from that stage of my life, but the following was poignant enough to have possibly set…

Celestial creature: Indigo bunting

June 4, 2025
There is nothing like the royal blue of an indigo bunting. In the Northeast, they arrive fashionably late to the spring fling, behind the vanguard of migrating warblers and other songbirds. On my morning walk in my frequent birding spot – my “patch,” as birders call it –I heard the sharp double-noted tune: “Look! Look!…
