Dear Wise One, When I was young, I didn’t think much about wisdom. But when I thought about wise people, I thought of an OLD person. Not just old, but male. But today I realize that wise people come in all ages, genders, and circumstances. I remember Carl Koch’s voice the day he gave our Servant Leadership

Dear Brave Heart, These are interesting times, wouldn’t you say? Days can be challenging, uncertain and more than once in a week, we may find ourselves immobilized by an insurmountable problem—or so it seems. However, this isn’t our first rodeo. We are souls who know danger, yet step up. Courage is the force within us

Dear Beauty, My letter to you this week is about HOPE, that illusive, shapeless quality we need but can’t see. It’s so abstract, we use analogies to talk about it: Hope floats in mid air.

Hello Earthly Woman, Recently, a friend sent me a wonderful prayer that has become a part of my daily meditation ritual. The prayer honors the feminine nature of God, something  lacking in the traditional Christian culture. It seems to me it is time to honor the feminine along with the masculine in every aspect of

Hello Strong Woman! This week, I’ve been thinking about the benefits of knowing the backstory of strong and powerful women. The world can be a scary place, and hearing the stories of other women who have survived challenges, and then thrived, inspires me. I feel as if somehow we are walking hand in hand through the
