Do You Have to Love Everybody to Be Spiritual?
Dear Meli, Being spiritual has a lot of "shoulds" that come with it. Take this one, for example: "Spiritual people SHOULD be able to get along with everyone." But what about difficult people? What about people from your past? In my case, I'm talking about my ex. She...
The Power of Prejudice (It’s Not What You Think!)
Prejudice is everywhere. We see it in the news. We see it in our families. Some of us are more aware of prejudice than others. People of color. Differently-abled people. When we think of the power of prejudice, we tend to think of its destructive power. Let's face it,...
How Do You Handle Discord in Spiritual Community?
Dear Meli, For a long time, I did my spiritual practice by myself. Although this was okay, I longed for spiritual community. Then I found one! It was amazing. But after spending more time with this group, I found out that the leader is not who she originally seemed to...
The Last Blog Post You’ll Ever Need to Read
Yup, that's right. You can read this post and you're done. No more posts about the Best Way to do this, or the Only Way to do that. No more provocative teasers about how you have to Read. This. Right. Now!!!!! All those posts are written with great authority, as...
How Do You Follow Your Bliss and Pay Your Rent?
Dear Meli, You know how they say to follow your bliss? But what about paying your rent? I have a job that I don't like very much. But it pays really well. Also, I'm not sure what else I'd want to do. But I know that I don't feel fulfilled. The more I do my spiritual...
The Benefits of a Crappy Life
A crappy life is, well, crappy. Right? One could say it's hard to argue otherwise. But then one wouldn't be a hard-core Goofball nerd who is always looking to argue against crappy and for happy. Which is what led Melissa and I to watch a movie called Happy a while...
Can You Trust Your Inner Voice?
Dear Meli, You know how they always say to "Go with your gut?" Sometimes I'm not sure about this. I've gone with my gut, and afterwards realized that it was the spoiled child in me, wanting something that turned out not to be good for me. When I hear a voice inside...
Here’s a Sneaky Way to Do Your Affirmations
If you're anything like me, you believe in the power of affirmations. You also find that sometimes it's hard to do them. You're too tired. Or not in the mood. Or you think they're not going to help that much anyway. But if you're anything like me, you also really want...
How Do You Meditate If You’re Horrible at It?
Dear Meli, I'm a spiritual person. And by this I mean, I'm a professional spiritual person. I'm a minister. And I have a little problem. I can't meditate. I mean, I try, but I'm horrible at it. I'm always telling people about the benefits of meditation, because I know...
How to Overcome Resistance to Change
Change is the one thing that never changes. Don't you find that annoying? Maybe you don't. Maybe you're one of those nifty people that actually embraces the fact that everything is always changing all the time. It's not that I never embrace change. If something sucks,...
How Can You Explain Your Grief to Others?
Dear Meli, I recently lost a family member. Now, before you ask me if it was my parent or grandparent or anything else, let me tell you that my family member was a gerbil. Her name was Gwendolyn. I know that a lot of people think I'm crazy. She wasn't even a cat or...
Why You Should Never Give Up
When it comes to finding a reason not to give up, I like to turn to the words of old dead people. One of my favorite old dead people is Ernest Holmes. Ernest said a lot of great things but the best thing he ever said, in my humble opinion, was this: Principle is not...
