Becoming Mikayal
I never thought I would change my name. Where I come from, it’s just not something you “do.” Sure, in California, where I live now, lots of people change their names to things like, Tree or Mountain or Moonflower Sunbeam!

Tyler Perry’s Lesson in Forgiveness and Abundance
Terry Gross interviewed Tyler Perry on Fresh Air a few weeks ago. I almost changed the station since I didn’t have a strong connection with Tyler other than knowing that he put his name on all of his movies and – to be quite honest – imagining that he must be fairly egotistical to do […]

Stop waiting for your starring role
Do you want to make a difference in the world? Do you want to be a catalyst for positive change? The desire to contribute to the highest good of all is strong in most modern day mystics. We see the problems in the world. We feel the pain and suffering of those around us as […]

Lessons in Divine Timing From a Loose Tooth
One night last week as my daughter was falling asleep she called down to me, “Dada, guess what?” “What sweetie?” “I’ve got a loose tooth!” “Yay. I’ll check it out in the morning.” And, sure enough, in the morning I saw that Ella had her first loose tooth. Now having your first loose tooth is […]
