Have you ever held that first sacred cup of morning coffee, sat in the darkness and waited for the sunrise? Watched how black and white silhouettes slowly filled with color as the light grew brighter? This is daily magic. Try it and see! It’s like darkness hosts the light . . . holding hands with…

Bloom where you are planted. Right where you are. Right where you are in your life, your relationships, your job, your education, your finances, your mistakes and your progress. That’s right!

We think of this word as describing racial or gender identities, but those things are important because of the depth of their meaning, not because of superficial easily observed things. Consider the evidence around us, the value for diversity that…

From the Big Book of AA, I was inspired to paint this piece which I call “Choice”. It would be lovely to read all of chapter 2 as the author is talking about that fleeting moment between thought and action. The buildup is good! The context is helpful. But there’s a sentence on page 24…

Ask Good Questions of Life! As we travel on our road . . . we need to know where we are starting and where we wanna’ go. So, asking helpful questions is vital. VITAL! Questions are a tool of creation. What do I want? What do I NOT want? How do I feel? How do…
