Native American, Lehi Sanchez, shares the remarkable dream of his father, Ezekiel—co-founder of the ANASAZI Foundation. It’s a beautiful story about moving forward to help others in spite of our doubts and fears. With profound gratitude, I stand among those that Ezekiel saw in his dream and thank him for having the faith to walk…

Pure Radiance All is the Radiant Seed. Seed never dies nor is it born; it is only in constant transition — seed gives way to root and stem, to petals that bloom, to more seed that falls to the ground and again is the beauty that roots to the earth and reaches toward the heavens….

I want to tell you about my most valuable possession – my Red Book. Actually, it’s an accounting ledger book circa 1979. Tall and thin, the 12” ledger never seemed to fit well in a bookshelf.  The corners are a little bent and scuffed. The binding is loose. The edges of the cover are beginning…

My road to coping with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been a difficult one. I didn’t even know that I needed any help or that I really had a problem until someone else gently helped me to realize it. I was 23 before I ever stepped foot into a therapist’s office. Bob and I were…
