Recently I was invited to play in a golf scramble. A scramble is a fun way of playing where the entire group uses the placement of the best ball played to hit the next shot. It was a customer appreciation event and shouldn’t have been anything to stress about, but still, it would be mostly business men who can be …
Cigarette Dreams
Not too long ago I was making my way to the airport when the driver in the car in front of me threw out a cigarette from his window. I remember my thoughts going something like this: OMG, who would do that? Haven’t they heard that cigarette butts can fly into a car behind them. Wow, I wonder if there …
When your angel is named Angel
Recently I was on the receiving end of some “Angelic” aid. On a recent trip to Mexico I did something foolish. I know I am more book smart than street smart so it wasn’t a total surprise when I found myself snorkeling in a shallow reef with sea urchins looming before me. I had some moments of panic as I …
Rainy Day Rose
It’s not often that it rains where I live in California and a summer shower is an even rarer occurrence but one June afternoon a few raindrops fell and black clouds still loomed. Because of those clouds my goal of a simple car wash turned into something much more special. My husband had called to tell me that his new/used …
Love Connection
Although this story happened over 30 years ago, it has remained fresh as a favorite example how minds are connected. After my boyfriend and I went away to different colleges our relationship started to become strained. At the beginning of the summer, after we both returned home from our first year of college we had a painful break-up. The summer …
Message from a Stranger – Made My Day
Sometimes bumping into someone can a powerful gift. One day, not too long after Christmas, I headed to a local mall to make a return. A perfect parking spot opened up. As I was crossing the parking lot, a man using wooden crutches was facing me and our paths were starting to pass each other. I couldn’t help but ask, …
I am Going to Sit Down Next to Someone Who Will Give Me a Job
After graduating from an International Business program it was time for me to find a “Real Job”. My dad suggested I sign up for a conference in international trade with the idea of making some good contacts. I followed his advice and signed up for the conference. Before I entered the room I said to myself, “I am going to …
The TRUST Message
I meditate a little bit every morning right after I wake up and before I get my coffee. I say basically, good morning, thank you for a great night’s rest and looking forward to a beautiful day, is there anything special I need to hear today? This particular morning, I saw a flash in my mind that was a word …
US Mail, I am rooting for you!
Since I live across the country from my family, it’s easy for me to be not very well informed of some of the family gatherings that I can’t attend. One Thursday, my mom mentioned that my niece would be having her confirmation into the Catholic Church and thought it would be very nice for her to get a card from …
