In today’s world, it often seems kindness is in short supply. But there are as many random acts of kindness as there are acts of cruelty. Or, perhaps, more.
We only need to open our eyes to all the kindness around us. There is more of it than you would ever imagine. Although you might not think so if you follow the mainstream news.
Kindness is the cure to a world gone crazy.
We have often talked about the power of kindness each of you humans possess.… Read more
In today’s world, it’s often tempting to believe humanity has gone to hell in a big way. But there is much kindness and caring out there that never makes it into the mainstream news media.
Spirit
Your world is so obsessed with the illusion of separation. And it’s making you feel more separate than you could ever be.
In face, you’re not separate at all, except in your minds. And your minds have been brainwashed into seeing what is not there.… Read more

We realize it can be challenging for humans to believe there is much kindness and caring in your modern world.
One glance at your mainstream news media will convince you, as Johnny says, your world has gone to hell. And each morning you can see more “evidence” of that.… Read more
In today’s crazy, chaotic world, it can be hard to show kindness to those folks around us. But it always pays off, one way or another, whether we see the results or not. Kindness is true power.
Spirit
You often feel powerless in your lives, especially when you witness such events as you see in your mainstream news media almost daily. After all, they specialize in the “bad stuff.”
But is bad stuff all there is on your planet? Of course not.… Read more
My spirit guides often say nothing you do, say, or think is done in a vacuum. It all ripples out to the whole world and touches many lives, whether you’re aware of it or not.
Spirit
You have often heard us say you are all connected. It can never be otherwise.
However, you live in the illusion of separation. You see this person here, another there, and so on—all separate, even distant from you.
You chose to physically incarnate, or reincarnate, into this world of illusion many times over many years.… Read more
Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
Since I’m away from home this holiday weekend of Thanksgiving in the United States, we’re keeping this post shorter than usual.
In today’s topsy-turvy world, it’s easy to grow cynical about the human race. Is there any hope for us? Well, Charles Kuralt, in his words above, certainly seems to think so.… Read more
The United States appears to be suffering from a plague of senseless killing and heartrending sorrow—and a lack of ordinary human kindness, especially in the political turmoil gripping this country. Many people, not only in the US, but the world over, are in deep depression and grief over all this, and over the traumas occurring all over the planet.… Read more
There are reminders of the holiday season all around us, no matter what we celebrate—Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, etc. Or you may not celebrate at all. Or for you it may not be “the season to be jolly,” Perhaps the opposite, for whatever reasons.
Our world is seemingly in a mess, and for personal or global reasons it can be a depressing time for many.… Read more
One of our greatest joys in spirit is seeing humans celebrating, and just plain having fun.
Many of you are very good at that during this time in your linear calendar. But not always so good at it the rest of the year.… Read more
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible. ~ Dalai Lama

I was going through some old files the other day and came across a beautiful little poem written by my dear friend, Jerry Buchanan, many years ago.
Jerry is gone now, but in his lifetime he was a legendary figure in the world of writing and publishing. He graciously mentored me when I was a new young writer. Throughout the years he did the same for thousands of others.… Read more

One of my favorite Dalai Lama quotes is “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”
And another: “My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.”
One of our recent newsletter articles was Always Speak Your Truth Fearlessly. Some folks, including me in earlier years, take that to mean speak your truth aggressively with no regard or consideration for others. That, as I see in hindsight, is a very bad policy.… Read more
