Around 20 years ago, while navigating thru my “corporate” period, I found myself on a flight to somewhere, sitting next to a Disney Imagineer. What I remember most about the conversation is that, much like a 4-year-old, I asked a thousand questions about what his job was like. I was enthralled with the concept of […]

I narrowed it down, remembering I had gotten gas at the local QT less than 24 hours earlier. It must have slipped out of my pocket when I got back into the car. Oh great. Visions of my debit card laying on the ground in a puddle of muddy snow and ice popped into my […]

While on several spiritual retreats around the world, Beth experienced many visitations from God, Jesus, the Pleiadians, and other spirits of the Higher Realm.

For the past 11 months, my selected word-for-the-year was “Treasure.” My intent was to be much more aware of the treasures in my life . . . family, health, humor, clients, etc. In reflection, I’d have to say that yes, 2019 was a treasure-filled year of experiences.

Corner Saloons. Some of you also probably know that I grew up in the Midwest of the United States . . . around farmers, ranchers, oil rigs, and the open prairie. A few of these tiny Midwestern towns and communities now still thrive as suburbs of much larger urban areas which have since grown around […]
