Is It Unspiritual to Want to Look Good?
Dear Meli, This is maybe going to sound weird, but is it unspiritual to want to look good? I used to be really conflicted about my gender expression. But lately, I've been dressing exactly how I want to, even though it doesn't fit with society's views of how an...

How Can I Handle the Return of My Addiction?
Dear Meli, My drug of choice is food, especially sugar. For many years, I had it under control. And then came 2022. For whatever reason, I found myself back in the food. I don't attend 12-step meetings, because they never worked for me. I do have a spiritual practice,...
When the Disruption of the Plan IS the Plan
When I was a kid, I knew I was going into theater. I say knew, as opposed to dreamed about, because I was given a vision showing me exactly what was coming. It happened when I was seven years old. I was standing in my parent’s bedroom. Suddenly, in my mind’s eye, I...
What’s Your Hidden Theme? And How Is It Shaping Your Life?
I had no idea I had a hidden theme until I was confronted with it by my ex-girlfriend. My ex-girlfriend was all about confrontation. Which is one of a thousand reasons why she’s my ex. In this case, however, her confrontation was the mildest and most helpful of our...
How Do I Handle My Adult Child’s Bad Parenting?

How Can I Regain My Faith in Humanity After a Tragedy?
