One Simple Rule for Choosing Love in a World Full of Hate

August 21, 2017 By healthonmymind

Looking at the news these days, it would seem that people have lost all sense of civility and how to treat one another. Discord in families, communities, and the global political landscape in general would suggest that division, hatred of “the other,” terrorism, and fear rule the day. Doing unto others as they do unto us is the “new normal.” But civility and “loving our neighbor” is much more prevalent than it appears. When we look at day-to-day life, we do often experience small acts of Continue Reading

At annual meeting, Christian Scientists see “new spirit” emerging in society

June 8, 2017 By healthonmymind

Boston, MA — In today’s culture of political divisions and religious strife, Christian Scientists spoke at their church’s annual meeting of “a new spirit” emerging, which is calling forth the best in people across denominational and national lines. In an interview, the chair of the denomination’s board of directors, Allison Phinney, pointed to the simplest of signs seen at a nearby Methodist church in Boston’s South End: “God is Love.” “You are Loved.” “Justice.” Said Phinney: “Materialism Continue Reading

IS IT TIME TO CHANGE COURSE? DON’T BE AFRAID!

September 7, 2016 By healthonmymind

Making a major life change can sometimes feel scary and stressful. But there may be many times in life when changing course is necessary because we have outgrown a job, a relationship, a home; or, something else has prompted a shift. In this short YouTube video, Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski explains that when challenging, stressful times come along, they can be periods of great growth. He shares an analogy regarding, of all things, lobsters. He explains that as they grow, the rigid shell does Continue Reading

Fierce Women in History: Mary Baker Eddy

April 13, 2016 By healthonmymind

The struggle for realizing equality between men and women has been going on for ages. For example, in July of 1848, the first Women’s Rights Convention in the U.S. was held in the little hamlet of Seneca Falls, New York. The organizers, Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, sounded the call and declared that the mission of the convention was to “discuss the social, civil, and religious conditions and rights of women.” Two hundred people were in attendance and, on the second day, forty men Continue Reading

Does the scale define who we are? No! We are made of “star stuff”

March 3, 2016 By healthonmymind

New resolutions prod us to take a good look at the goals we want to accomplish but may have been putting off. Weight loss still tops the list on the self-improvement charts as it has for decades. But why does losing weight seem to be so hard? I worked in the health and fitness industry for over 30 years and had a front row seat on the weight loss train. As a group exercise instructor and personal trainer, I was privileged to have had thousands of conversations with people about their fitness Continue Reading

Prayer brings comfort and resolution

December 31, 2015 By healthonmymind

Like many people, I love listening to the radio when driving. I don’t subscribe to satellite radio with their clear signals, so sometimes, the music or news programs I am listening to get interrupted by static. But I know that when I tweak the dial just a bit, or drive on further, that particular station will once again come in loud and clear. Life requires of us a fair amount of “tuning in.” Kids, jobs, spouses and details of our days demand our attention – and rightly so. But with the Continue Reading

Seeing the “bigger picture” can bring peace

November 18, 2015 By healthonmymind

After everything that has happened in the last week, so many of us are asking, “Why are we here?,” “What connects us?,” “How can we learn to live together in peace?” These bigger questions about life have been asked and explored throughout the centuries by great philosophical, religious and scientific minds. Human understanding of astronomy and cosmology is ever evolving. And history is full of expanding ideas and discoveries regarding the nature of existence, our relationship with each other Continue Reading

The Connection Needed To Heal Addiction

October 28, 2015 By healthonmymind

Hi! This encore article was just recently published in "She Is Fierce." Some parts of this have been edited a little differently to make the message clearer. As always, the purpose of Committee articles is about blessing and healing, so feel free to share with anyone if the Spirit moves you. Hugs! No matter who we are or where we come from, I believe we all want the same things – to feel like we belong and to feel loved by those closest to us must be somewhere at the top of the list. But when Continue Reading

Is love the connection needed to heal addiction?

August 25, 2015 By healthonmymind

No matter who we are or where we come from, I believe we all want the same things - to feel like we belong and to feel loved by those closest to us must be somewhere at the top of the list. But when life doesn’t go as planned or the relationships dearest to us begin to falter, turning to drugs or alcohol for comfort to fill a seeming void may feel like a solid thing to lean on.   In a recent TED talk, Johann Hari explains that new research has been shedding light on the fact that Continue Reading

Spirituality and Freedom from Athletic Injury

June 17, 2015 By healthonmymind

Staying injury and accident free when participating in sports or other strenuous physical activities we enjoy can seem like a pipe dream. Certain parts of the body -knees, feet and ankles - seem to be particularly vulnerable in the rough and tumble worlds of football, basketball, long distance running and dance, to name a few. And with increased awareness of long-term damage caused by concussions and countless other injuries, how can one possibly expect to stay safe and healthy? How can one Continue Reading
