Dear Meli
How Do I Survive the Pandemic?
Dear Meli, So, we're having a pandemic! I am currently stuck at home, working full time from my computer. I'm used to a vibrant office with lots of people, and now I'm home all the time. To make matters worse, I'm home with my husband, who is driving me craaaaaazy....
Are You Supposed to Ignore Bad Things?
Dear Meli, I have a friend who's super spiritual. She's always trying to tell me that if I just change my thinking, my whole life can change. But I have a bunch of hard stuff in my life. How am I supposed to ignore that? That seems like unhealthy denial. Bothered by...
Can You Be Too Nice?
Dear Meli, I'm a nice guy. Really, I am. It aligns with who I am and my spiritual values. But maybe I'm too nice? I have a tendency to be drawn to people who need my help. And while it feels really good to help them, I'm starting to wonder if it's a trap. I recently...
How Can I Stop Fighting with Myself?
Dear Meli, I have a history of fighting with myself, especially when it comes to my weight. Lately, I’ve been getting in touch with different aspects of myself, and I’m realizing that there’s a part of me that really wants to lose weight. But there’s another part of...
Do You Have to Spend the Holidays with Your Family?
Dear Meli, The holidays are upon us. Yikes! I know everyone loves Christmas - or a lot of people do - but I'm not one of them. My mom died a few years ago, and ever since then my older brother has taken over being the host for Christmas. My brother is a really hard...
How Do You Forgive Yourself?
Dear Meli, I'm having a problem with forgiveness. It's not forgiveness of someone else I'm having a hard time with - it's forgiveness of myself. In my last relationship, I cheated on my partner. Looking back, my ex and I both now acknowledge that our relationship...
How Can I Stop Being a Wallflower?
Dear Meli, I've always been different than other people. I don't like parties. I'm not interested going out all the time. My husband is the exact opposite. If he had his way, we'd be going out every night. I keep thinking I need to push myself to be more social, but...
Is My Big Vision from Ego or Source?
Dear Meli, Since I was a kid, I've seen myself serving in a big way. The vision I saw as a kid was me on a stage, in front of thousands of people. The work I'm doing now seems to be leading in that direction. But I keep worrying that it's my ego that wants my vision...
Dear Readers: 30 Years of One-Day-at-a-Times

How Do You Stop Sabotaging Yourself?
Dear Meli, I recently got a promotion at work. That sounds great, right? And it is. But here’s the thing: The day after my promotion, I fell and broke my arm. I’m a landscape architect, and I need my arms to work! I will still be able to fulfill the duties of my...
Can I Do A Gratitude Practice If I’m Not Grateful?
Dear Meli, I have a good friend who's super happy all the time. He suggested that I try doing a daily gratitude practice so that I'm happier too. But I have a hard time with that. I don't often feel grateful. I have a lot of hard things going on in my life - with...
How Do You Get Motivated?
Dear Meli, How do you deal with motivation? Like, being motivated to do things? I seem to have a hard time getting myself to do almost everything, including spiritual practice. I always feel better when I do it, but it usually feels better not to. Or easier. Or...
