Why a Direct Route Is Never the Most Efficient
Have you ever had a plan? Perhaps it was a detailed outline, with multiple steps to your goal. Or maybe it was much simpler, like running to the store to pick up a carton of milk. (Or, these days, a carton of organic, free-range soy milk.) And have you ever had these...
Are You Supposed to Heal Every Illness?
Dear Meli, I have a friend who is dying. He's been sick for a long time, so it's actually a relief. But here's the thing. One of our mutual friends is not accepting that he's going. She's insisting that we need to pray more about it. Lately, she's been getting really...

Is There Room for Ego in Spiritual Practice?

How Do You Get Unstuck about Money?
Dear Meli, My life is really good. I have a great partner. I have a job I like. I have a great relationship with my grown kids. I have a wonderful spiritual community. There's only one part of my life that isn't totally great. And that's my relationship with money....

How Do You Navigate Religious Differences in Your Family?
Dear Meli, The holidays are upon us. This year, I am going back to spend time with my family of origin, something I haven't done for a long time. My family is really religious, especially my parents and two of my siblings. I consider myself really religious too, but...
How to Build a Relationship with Your Higher Power
Is it really possible to have a relationship with a Higher Power? I mean, that's a pretty imposing thing to have a relationship with. Like Cher. Except this Cher also created the sky and the seas and everything in creation. Kind of intimidating. When I was a kid, the...
