What’s the Relationship Between Childhood Abuse and Spiritual Practice?
Dear Meli, In spiritual circles, they're always saying that our happiness is up to us. But what if you've had really bad stuff happen to you? As a child, I was sexually abused. It's not something I talk about a lot, but it has definitely had a big impact on my life....
Sarcasm as a Spiritual Practice
Is there anything better than sarcasm? (See?! I'm diving right in!) Yes, that first remark was sarcastic. And it was fun. (At least, for me.) For those of you who are not (yet) amused, hear me out. Of course there are things better than sarcasm. Like sunsets. And the...

Dear Meli, I have a friend. She's one of my oldest and dearest friends. We went to grade school together. She's always had my back, and in many ways she's one of my biggest supporters. But – and this is a big but – she's a big complainer. Like, half of what she says...

Do I Have to Be Spiritual Because My Partner Is?
Dear Meli, I'm not spiritual. Really, I'm not kidding. My partner of ten years, on the other hand, is super spiritual. When we got together, we were both atheists, but since then she's totally gone on a spiritual kick. First it was yoga. Then meditation. And now she's...
The Key Ingredient to Healthy New Beginnings
Has this ever happened to you? You have a great new idea. You're really excited about it. In your excitement, you tell someone who – the minute you open your mouth – you know you shouldn't be telling. Sure enough, they tell you it's not a good idea. They tell you it's...
Are You Depressed or Detached?
Dear Meli, For a long time, I was totally enamored with spiritual life. Amazing things would happen in my life and I would be totally blown away. But now, I'm a lot more blasé about it all. Don't get me wrong, my life is still great. But somehow, I don't care. Things...
