At about age 40, I discovered that there is more to this universe than we perceive with our five senses. Someone got my attention when they said “who’s the ghost in the machine” ? What is is that thinks, feels, is aware, and is conscious? This happened at the same time that my beloved grandma was dying. I credit grandma with bringing attention to my spirit. I loved what I felt and I started exploring my higher self.
A strong knowing had been uncovered which, coupled with support from my fantastic son Luke, gave me the strength to withstand the loss of Meg and Kathy and to continue to grow and thrive.
Following Kath’s passing and when I was ready for a relationship, the divine universe connected Claire and me in a beautiful, loving relationship. We are soul mates and growth partners. This also coincided with inspirations that have led me to sketch out cartoons and to write quotes as to what I am feeling. I meditate every morning and often emerge with a quote or idea for a cartoon. I now have hundreds of sketches and quotes and I provide a handful of those here.
In July 2024 I finished and published a book: Uncovering Life’s Gold Nuggets; My spiritual journey of learning, acceptance and growth; loving more every day despite life’s challenges including the passing of my daughter and wife

Before each and every activity:
- Stop and feel your essence and its deep peace
- Feel it immersed in universal essence
- Visualize how present and connected you will be during that next activity
- Concentrate on the now and on your essence as you immerse yourself fully in that activity
- Upon completion feel the gratitude
- Repeat
Happiness is a choice. It, like love, comes from the heart/soul/spirit/deep stillness. Look only inside for happiness. Make the choice to feel your eternal happiness. Happiness sourced organically/internally manifests (attracts) things from the outside that are what is desired. Happiness that endures only comes from inside. I choose to turn my attention to my deep, still, silent essence and to enjoy the happiness that lives there. Internally derived happiness is like the cake while external experiences that are pleasurable are the icing. Icing must have the cake to exist.
The God in me is the God in everyone and everything. Being mindful is focusing all your senses on God, in me, in you, in everyone and everything.
- Everywhere I look I see God
- Everything I hear I hear God
- Everything I touch I feel God
- Everything I emotionally feel, I feel God
- Everything I smell, I smell God
- Everything I taste, I taste God
- Everything I feel in this body, I feel God
- Everything I sense, I sense God
- Everything is God and I am a part of and I am all of everything
It’s time, bust out of all constraints, all past, all personality and be God
