Dear Meli, I have been trying to be more focused lately. I work at home as my own boss, and I've had a long history of procrastination. I'm tired of it, but it's also a habit that I'm finding hard to break. It's weird, because I really want to be more focused. But...
What I Learned From My Selfish Friend
I’m a lifelong learner, so no matter how completely and horribly crappy something turns out, I’m always looking for the lesson to be learned from it. Take friendships, for example. I’ve got all kinds of friends in my life – those I’ve known for decades and those I’ve...

Did Spirit Give Me the Right Body?
Dear Meli, I am a deep believer that everything in life is perfect and given to us by Spirit, even the hard stuff. One of the things I've struggled with for a long time is my body. I am over 60 years old, and have never felt totally at home in my female body. I see...
My Guru Has a Tail, Episode 16: The Monstrous Van
A few months ago, I shared with you the latest enlightened teaching of our Guru, Max. Guess what? Since then, everything has been turned completely upside down! Was this the Guru’s way of keeping us on our toes? Seeing if we were paying attention? F**king with us? You...
Isn’t Surrendering to Spirit Better Than Affirmations?
Dear Meli, I hear a lot of people these days talking about affirmations and creating their life. But isn’t Source in charge of everything? And isn’t Source waaaaay smarter than we are? Why do we need to claim or affirm anything? Sticking with Surrender Dear Sticking,...
My Prounoun Is “She, I Mean They, Sh**, I’m Sorry!”
Some of you just read the title of this post and are now saying, “But Z, I thought your pronoun was 'they'!” You are correct. My pronouns are they/them/theirs. I define as gender-rich, and "they" is the pronoun that fits me best. But other people don’t always remember...
Do I Really Control ALL the Conditions in My Life?
Dear Meli, I’m new to this whole ‘you create your life’ thing. Not surprisingly, I have some questions. Do I really create everything in my life? My dad died a couple years ago. Did I create that? I was born with a congenital heart issue. Did I create that? I...
