My Guru Has a Tail, Ep 19: What in God’s Name Is That Noise?
Most Gurus have a past, and ours is no exception. Our Guru kitty Max spent the first two years of his life on the streets. Literally. When he first showed up at the home of a friend of ours, he was dirty and scrawny. Our friend tried to integrate him into her...
How Do I Release My Inner Grinch?
Dear Meli, I know most people don't agree with me, but I am not a fan of Christmas. It's become so commercial, it drives me crazy. And all the social obligations that crop up this time of year can be overwhelming. My family of origin is all gone, so I don't have to...
Is Your Current Plan a Safer Version of What’s Really Calling You?
You’re not always right. No offense, but you’re not. And I’m not saying this because I’m a Super Smarty Pants who knows everything and always does what I’m supposed to do. Quite the opposite, in fact. I’m a Super Silly Pants who has all sorts of ideas that are not...
Help! My Spouse Is Driving Me Crazy!
Dear Meli, My husband and I have been together almost 20 years. Great, right? Yeah, it's pretty good overall. There's just one little problem. He drives me crazy. He's not abusive or anything, it's not that. He just gets on my nerves. The way he gets really quiet and...
Can You Be Romantically Compatible With a Non-Believer?
Dear Meli, I recently started dating a wonderful woman. I'd been in the dating pool for a few years since my wife died, and I didn't find anyone I really connected with. Until now. There's just one thing. My new sweetheart is an atheist. She doesn't believe in any...
The Ultimate Conspiracy Theory
First off, I need to say that I’m not a conspiracy theorist. And it’s not just because I don’t look good in tinfoil. I don’t believe that Elvis Presley faked his death. I don’t believe that the British royal family are descended from blood-drinking, shape-shifting...
My Spiritual Community Blamed My Friend for Her Cancer
Dear Meli, I have been attending a New Thought center for about three years. Soon after I started attending, I met a friend there I'll call Tricia. Tricia and I became close friends immediately. She was smart, funny, and sensitive. About a year into our friendship,...
I Hate My Job! But I Can’t Quit!
Dear Meli, I hate my job! It's boring and it sucks the life out of me. And before you say I should just quit, it's not that simple. I work for a government agency, and I've built up a lot of time with them. In order to collect a decent pension, I need to stay there at...
A Crucial Skill in Long-Term Relationships
My wife Melissa and I have been together over thirteen years. That’s not nearly as long as my parents, who have been together for over 60 years. (Hi, Mom and Dad!) And it’s not nearly as long as countless other couples around the world. Nevertheless, the past thirteen...
How to Get Unstuck From a Problem
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Einstein said that, and he was kinda smart. But where is Einstein when I’m stuck in my problem-creating thinking? Hey, Mr. Smarty Pants. How do I get to the different thinking that’s...
Owning an RV as a Spiritual Practice
I’ll never forget our first night in our travel van. We were staying in an RV park near the dealer so if anything went wrong, we could call them and troubleshoot. Great idea, right? Except something went wrong at 3 a.m. which is, as it turns out, not the best time to...
How to Overcome Discouragement
I love getting discouraged. It’s a wonderful opportunity to put my spiritual tools to use. Kidding! I haaaaaaate getting discouraged. It’s like falling into a dark, slimy hole. Everything was fine! I was doing so well! And then I tripped and fell into a horrible hole...
