Letting the Light Shine
I was recently pondering what my next blog topic would be and I was feeling stuck. I haven’t done a lot of writing, other than business letters and documents, in over 30 years, so I was feeling a bit panicky and wondering who, exactly, I thought I was that I could...
The Infamous (but VERY useful) “Not My Problem” Mantra
Awhile back, one of my students mentioned that she’d been talking to a friend about what she was learning from class. She said that her friend had disagreed with something I was teaching her. “What part is that?” I asked, not surprised, actually, that someone might...
The First Six Words of the Lord’s Prayer
In 1932, Emmet Fox penned his interpretation of the Lord’s Prayer in his book, “The Sermon on the Mount.” His manuscript completely changed how I understood this most important Prayer. “Our Father who art in heaven….” How many of us have heard or read that phrase and...
The Perceived is the Perceiver
I was listening to a lecture by Alan Watts the other day. He was meditating on the nature of reality, perception, and experience. Watts was noting that the human experience is one rooted in duality; a sensual cacophony that leads one to believe that the ultimate...

Why I’m a BlissNinny
Why am I a BlissNinny? The short, simple answer is that, at this point in my life, I can’t be anything else. I was meant to be a BlissNinny, it just took me over 40 years to realize it! I was one of those people who made fun of, and felt superior to, people who were...
How I Came To Be a BlissNinny
In this fascinating era of self-absorption, self-promotion—where your name and “look” are now being put forth as your “Brand,” as though you were a product and not a person; in this time of widespread social media coverage of the trivial, commonplace, and staged,...
Why I’m Glad to Be a BlissNinny
