Hey Women! We Can Stop Doing This Now!
It’s an exciting/scary/amazing time to be a woman. Women are coming forward and telling their stories. And being believed! What a concept. There’s still a long way to go. And there are still lots of disparities depending on where you live, the color of your skin, and...
How Do You Forgive a Difficult Parent?
Dear Meli, I have done a lot of healing work around my childhood. Especially around my mother. She was really tough on me during most of my childhood and even though I've done a lot of healing around her, I'm still aware of being really angry with her. She died about...
#Resistance: What Is Mine to Do?
I’ve been putting off writing this post for a long time. I guess you could say I’ve been resisting it. Ha. Ever since a certain someone moved to our nation’s capital, I have felt a pull away from my life as it was before November 9th, 2016. Does this pull have a...

A while back, I did a post about the Enneagram. I’ve been studying the Enneagram for years, and I love it. It’s a fascinating personality-typing system that also helps with spiritual growth. The Enneagram is great way to find out what makes you tick. And what makes...
What’s the Deal with Ayahuasca?
Dear Meli, I have a friend who has been like a spiritual teacher for me. She's turned me onto all kinds of great practices, books, teachers. etc. Lately she's into something new - Ayahuasca. It's a drug she uses to hallucinate and learn things about herself. She says...
Five Steps to Becoming a Boundary Master

Why Can’t My Mind Heal My Addiction?
Dear Meli, I am currently in recovery for food addiction. I've tried lots of drugs over the years, but no substance seems to have as much sway over me as sugar. That said, I also follow a spiritual practice that says that I can control my life with my thoughts. So...
My Guru Has a Tail, Episode 13: The Guru’s Guru
Those of you who have been following the “My Guru Has a Tail” series know that there have been not one, but two, Gurus. First there was Guru Lucy. And then there was Guru Max. What you don’t know is that, like with most Regime changes, the transition didn’t happen...
Can You Be Spiritual and Political at the Same Time?
Dear Meli, I'm a part of a spiritual community and it's been awesome for a long time. I love the people there, and I've grown a lot. But. Lately I've been feeling like many of the people there are resistant to applying spiritual principles to some of the issues going...
Wild, Wild Gurus
Wow. I just finished watching the Netflix series “Wild Wild County,” about the crazy times of Bagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers in Oregon in the 1980s. While the documentary is not for everyone (it includes murderous plots and writhing naked “meditation”...
