It has been an exciting month and now I am home. This photo captured the sweet peace of being with my little dog Magi and resting in my own bed after a long journey. When I was with her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden, I learned that the average age of homeless people in the United States is 9 years old. I now have this picture in my mind as I go to sleep of all those children being in ...

Earth Heart Foundation
Dede Koldyke and I co-founded Earth Heart Foundation last year in hopes that on some distant Mother’s Day, the wishes of Julia Ward Howe could be fulfilled and the human race could celebrate a day when, all over the world, no mother would have to mourn the death of her child lost in war or terrorist attacks. To all of the mothers whose children are fighting in wars, and to mothers whose children are growing up with wars raging around ...
Happy Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is celebrated in every country in the world. The first person to fight for an official Mother’s Day celebration in the United States was Julia Ward Howe. You may be more familiar with her name as the writer who wrote the words to the Civil War song “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”. Howe was born in New York City on May 27, 1819. She was active in the peace movement and the women’s suffrage movement. In 1870, ...

Need Blessings?
When I was a child, my great grandfather lived on the farm with us when I was 4 years old. He kept a bible under his bed. It was the only religion I had in my home for a short time and it was hidden. The mystery enchanted me. He read me the Psalms. On a spiritual journey since a young child, as I have told many of you – having no religion growing up – I was curious and ...
