Cancel Culture and Free Will
I’ve been asked what I think about the recent phenomenon of the “Cancel Culture,” where people band together, usually on social media, to present a ”united front” against “injustice.” It’s a highly charged topic, and I’ve been asked whether this is a good thing; a...
So… Why Should You Let Go of Control?
So...why should you let go of control? What an absolutely wonderful question. I recently met with a client who was startled, disappointed, and even a little dismayed by what she was creating in her life. Because the material seemed to offer guidance with regards to my...
The Day Dad Died
Rather listen to it instead? Click play to have Judi read aloud to you! Esther Hicks and Abraham hit it right on the head. And yet, it can be a very difficult concept to process and embrace—particularly for people who think that they are their bodies. As I see it,...
Cleaning Closets and Letting Go
In my last blog I wrote about how, as I was weeding and clearing my yard, I was weeding and clearing my own space, and as I loved, nourished and fed my plants, I was loving, nourishing and feeding my own psyche. As I get ready to tackle the next project on my...
Fears of Aging, Death, and Dying

“A garden is a delight to the eye and a solace for the soul.” ~ Saadi As with everyone, when the pandemic hit, I suddenly found myself at home all the time. So, my husband and I decided it was time to do something about our shaggy looking backyard. We had let it...
My Date with the Secretary of State
There aren’t many things in existence that seem more archaic than the Illinois Secretary of State. Perhaps the bones of an ancient, long-since-extinct Pterodactyl standing at the Museum of Science might have it beat. Let me preface all of this by first expressing the...
Interpreting the Bible– for Your OWN Bad Self!
I wasn’t trying to give the nuns a hard time in parochial school. Honest, I wasn’t. I was actually a shy, quiet kid; a total introvert who was eager to learn, and eager to please. I was the kid who’d come into a room and flutter around the doorway with big eyes, like...
A Different Kind of Baptism
Five years ago this summer I was awakened by what I thought was a car alarm blaring somewhere on the street. It was around 2:00 in the morning and there was a fierce storm raging. The alarm just kept going and going and in a total fit of annoyance I slammed the window...
