‘Stuff’, Just ‘Stuff’

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

The story that follows made me think of when I was living in Santa Fe, NM and the disastrous Cerro Grande Fire occurred in May 2000. The fire started as a controlled burn, and became uncontrolled due to high winds and drought conditions. 400+ families in the town of Los Alamos lost their homes, and some structures at Los Alamos National Laboratory were destroyed or damaged; amazingly, there was no loss of human life. Besides breathing in the smoke down south in Santa Fe, I was impacted by the stories of people telling about the possessions they’d chosen to take … Continue reading →

Many are Blessed by Your Kindness!

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

When you observe someone being kind to another person, there are three simultaneous benefits. The person receiving the kindness feels cared for and valued. The person expressing the kindness feels the joy of giving, and you feel the impact. When you observe an act of kindness, love and hope spring up in you.  As you watch the interaction between the giver and receiver, you too are blessed. Take a moment today and bless another with your smile or a kind word. With this in mind, you will uplift others. As you demonstrate kindness, consideration or compassion, gifts from your heart … Continue reading →

Watch Out World!

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

Something profound happened to me in April when I participated in The Landmark Forum. The Advanced Course, earlier this month, deepened that; it is clear each moment we have the opportunity to express ourselves and provide leadership. More than ever, I see that my life has been lived way too small for many years. I am reminded of the following quote by Marianne Williamson from her book A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It … Continue reading →

Amazing Job Helping Me Create My New Website

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

I took several 1/2 day WordPress retreats with Joyce Kaye and would highly recommend working with her! She did an amazing job helping me create my new website, Climate Health and Wellness! I loved the collaboration that took place between us because we each got creative ideas working together to really make my website exactly what I had envisioned. And, she doesn’t deal with just the technical stuff of building a site! Joyce coached me through such considerations as: who was my audience, what was the purpose of the site, how did it relate to my other work, etc. We … Continue reading →

Good Medicine

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D. was one of the first to recognize and document the psychological and spiritual impact of cancer on people and their families. Through her television appearances and lectures, she has reminded many thousands of people of their power to grow beyond their current challenges and heal themselves. I was first introduced to her when she gave a speech at “The Art of Death and Dying” conference I attended in NYC in the early ’90s. I love her introspective, compassionate, spiritual way of being, especially poignant for me since I have often found those qualities lacking in medical … Continue reading →

Invite the Divine In

The Computer Spirit Posted on by

As you probably know, my mantra personally and professionally is “You are not alone” (we teach what we need to learn 🙂 ). So when I recently joined the Waking Up with Ryan email list, I was thrilled when one morning Ryan wrote about this topic. Here’s an excerpt from 03.20.15… You can go it alone – but why? You’re surrounded by support. Not just from the people around you, but from the Divine itself… IF and only IF you invite the Divine in. The way the Universe works – without your permission, the Universe cannot work Its miracles through … Continue reading →
