Attracting a Happy Man (aka, the Craigslist Dating Experiment)

Why is this man trying to cut off his tongue with his fingers?  Just another potential date from Craigslist….
Even more so than easy money, people want to use the Law of Attraction to attract a special someone.  They usually do, even when they get less than optimal results (see above photo for an example).

Just Because You’re Psychic Doesn’t Mean You Should Be a Know-It-All

If you’re psychic, how much of the story do you really know when you’ve seen only a flash of something?  What do you disclose…and what do you interpret through your own filters?  Photo of Lorna Tedder by Ais Portraits
Yep, I believe in psychics. Definitely.  I’ve had enough of my own otherwise inexplicable coincidences,  and several [...]

Raising the Vibration of Your Home

My home is just how I like it.  It’s serene, different, and…well, something of a refection of myself.    I love that the men I socialize with romantically as well as guests who visit once a month for a spiritual or intellectual gathering find my home a sanctuary.  They tell me that they arrive at my [...]

May God Bless You With Discomfort

May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships
So that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger

So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.

Jesus Didn’t Promise Us Disneyland

It has hit me with increasing clarity lately how spoilt we are in New Zealand. Not only do we have the luxury of good clothes, nice houses and too much cash, but we also experience the luxury of actually being able to choose what we do with our lives.
Most people in the world don’t have [...]

Am I Really the Future of the World?

I tell you what, the next time I hear some “grown-up” person tell me that young people are the “future of the world” or the “future of the church”, I’m determined to stand up, throw something at them and shout, “Oi! Grown-up person, guess what, young people are the world and they are the church [...]

Building Your Child’s Self Esteem

It’s one of those things that all parents want to provide for their children and one of those things that many feel they do not know how to do: raise a self-confident child. Self-esteem oftentimes seems like a fragile, distant thing that we all know what it is but don’t know how to develop. Your [...]

Breathe It

Human life is described in the Bible as fleeting, only a breath or a whisper. This really hits home when you attend the funeral of a little 18 month old girl – you realise again how fragile life truly is.
As discouraged as my heart felt as I sat there looking upon the small coffin, Psalm [...]

Is Your Jesus Too Small?

A few years back, Hollywood celebrities were wearing t-shirts emblazoned with the phrase ‘Jesus is My Homeboy’. Ashton had one. Pamela had one. So, of course, I had one too. I was being ironically un-ironic, you see. I wore it around for a while, but then I stopped. It just didn’t feel quite right. Not [...]
