I sat by Buddha on the plane
I sat by Buddha on the plane.
He was wise, gracious, warm, and centered. He was on the path of self-realization and enlightenment. I felt healed and uplifted from our conversation.
He was also a 27 year old Wind Turbine Technician from a town in Iowa with a population of 200 people. He wore a black cap that read Chevrolet and a Nascar sweatshirt. He was handsome in a down-home country way and was quick to smile and laugh which I found refreshing.
We shall call him Ronny. He had been in jail at least 4 times in his short life and was only 14 when he was first arrested.
Ronny was two years sober and an active member of AA (Alcoholics Anonymous), NA (Narcotics Anonymous), and was a leader/role model for the Teen Group of this nature.
In the past, I may have sat down next to Ronny, glanced at his outfit and demeanor, and placed my nose in a book as fast as I could pull it out of my bag. I am ashamed to admit it, but I may have judged him as….hmmm…a hick? close-minded? maybe not so bright?
I know, I know, but hey, I am NOT the only one who sometimes judges others on first impressions! (in the past, up until now)
The point is, something inside of me said, “Listen to him, Cora. He has much to teach, and you my dear, have MUCH to learn.”
Okay, Okay Spirit. I hear you.
So we engaged in a conversation that lasted from the minute I sat down in my seat until we parted ways in the terminal in Oakland.
What did I learn from Ronny/Buddha?
-The importance of throwing in the “white chip”, surrendering to a Higher Power. This is the moment in AA where we admit that we are powerless and need help with our addictions. And we ALL have addictions (sex, drugs, alcohol, work, dieting, people pleasing, negative thinking, etc) None of us are meant to let go of these alone!
-The power of Presence. He shared that staying in the moment and focusing on “what is” with gratitude keeps him from experiencing anxiety about the past or future. The very same anxiety that led him to drugs and alcohol in his past. This helps him stay centered, peaceful, and sober.
-What bring us life fulfillment is different for everyone. Ronny was perfectly happy in his tiny Iowa town because he is close to family, likes his job, and has good friends there. The idea of living in NYC, acting, and running a business sounded interesting to him, but not enticing at all! We are all so different and I need to remember that we all know what is best for ourselves. All the answers are within.
-That one can wreck A LOT of cars and receive many MANY DUI’s and still start over, forgive oneself, and say yes to Life. Each day is a new beginning, a new chance to align with our Truth, Integrity, and Calling. Ronny’s enthusiasm for life reminded me of a child’s natural way of being. His two years of sobriety were the first two years of his New Life. SO INSPIRING!
-That Wisdom comes in all forms. Ronny/Buddha did not look like a Prophet, but hey I’m sure Jesus didn’t always come across as “holy looking” to the people of his day. Ronny is a Master Teacher, even without the monk robes.
My conversation with Ronny was my Sunday Church Service. What he taught me will live in my heart, mind, and soul forever.
Angels, my friends, are EVERYWHERE. Even in the mirror.;)
Ronny reminded me of this.
And okay, okay maybe he DID ask me for my phone number, knowing full well I was married.
But hey, even Buddha was human.

The Middle Way
by the fabulous Guest Blogger, Mordechai
To begin, I’m going to classify two schools of thought as the East and West. The East is more spiritual and connected to the oneness of our reality. While the West leans more towards the side of cold facts and endless fragmentation of individual pieces of information.
In my own young experience I have been tossed from side to side, over and over every time coming to the realization that this is the one true reality, whatever side of the coin it may be. I then went out with flaming passion towards whatever camp it was who’s so called banner I was waving. I was overjoyed to finally be at home with those who are on the same page as me.
The problem was at every stop on the journey my mention of experience with the other side was either met by ignorance of its existence entirely, or a negative attitude towards it! The sides were either consciously or unconsciously using each other for a background to themselves, who of course represent all meaning and truth.
What a frustrating reality of separate worlds, so close to each other, even living in complete peace at times, but yet the communication between them is nonexistent, or in more serious cases, tragic.
There is one alternative to these opposites, and that is the Middle Path, which is the integration of more than the “either or” of reality. Am I a body with a mind? Or do I have a soul? The answer is yes. Does my environment affect me? Is it my upbringing, or my genetics? How about my past lives and reincarnations? Yes!
We as human beings have been given this great tapestry, like gift of life which surely encompasses more than just one side of the story. I want to empower you to own your power through your whole self, with your whole story, not just the fragments that are labeled as you. There is so much much more than that, the true whole, including the process.
Many good wishes to all of you.
Mordechai is a student of Kabbalistic and Chassidic, thought working in holistic health counseling to establish change in people while integrating the separate aspects of their reality into a dynamic unified whole.

Got Milk? No Thanks!
by Christina Vittas, Sexy Soul Guest Blogger
Most people never think about what they are actually eating and drinking, and this is certainly true of milk. Cow’s milk is the lactation fluid of a cow, meaning that a pregnant cow produces breast milk to feed to her baby so that it can grow, but instead of the little calf drinking the milk, humans do.
We artificially impregnate cows and then take their milk and consume it. Not only is the whole practice very cruel, but it is incredibly unnatural. (It is made even more so by the fact that many farmers shoot up these cows with hormones and steroids and antibiotics–all of which you then consume when you drink their milk.)
Humans are the only other animal in the world that drink the milk of an entirely different animal. Moreover, humans are the only other animal in the world that drink milk past the time that they are infants.
The dairy industry has spent billions of dollars advertising, lobbying, and paying for political campaigns in a (successful) effort to make us believe that the consumption of dairy is a requisite for a healthy diet. It isn’t. The problems with dairy are aplenty, and they stem from the fact that dairy is very difficult for the body to digest.
This makes sense: Our GI tract is not designed to break down the milk of another animal, and certainly not when we are adults and no longer supposed to be consuming even our own mothers’ milk. Years and years of studies have shown that milk and cheese contribute to digestive problems, heart disease, and skin inflammation, among other things. Dairy is extremely mucus-forming, and contributes greatly to allergies and congestion.
Studies examining the link between dairy consumption and cancer revealed that breast cancer was almost nonexistent in countries where dairy was not consumed. Why don’t you hear about these studies? Because the mammoth that is the dairy industry is so effective at promoting what it wants the public to hear.
Something we all associate with milk is calcium and having strong bones. While it is true that dairy contains calcium, it does NOT promote strong bones. This is just brilliant marketing on the part of the dairy industry. Countries that consume the least amount of dairy have the lowest rates of osteoporosis. Our bodies cannot really assimilate the calcium in milk and other dairy products; in fact, they leach calcium out of your bones. Your best sources of calcium are green leafy vegetables, broccoli, tofu, sea vegetables, and legumes. Your body will easily absorb the calcium (and all the other wonderful and plentiful nutrients) in these vegetables.
If you remove dairy from your diet, you will almost immediately notice benefits, namely less congestion, better digestion, fewer allergies, and better skin. Your body will thank you, and so will the environment (and the cows!). I completely understand that it can seem overwhelming to part with dairy, especially given that it is a staple in many people’s diets; if this is the case, you can try cutting back on your consumption each week until you reach your goal. Know that as you change the way you eat, your taste buds adapt.
If you are eating dairy, it is very important that it be organic because at least then you’re avoiding the hormones, steroids, and antibiotics, but don’t be fooled into thinking that organic dairy is good for you. It’s just less horrible.
Below are some alternatives to the traditional cow’s milk and cheese and yogurt. Experiment!
Alternatives to cow’s milk: almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk, hemp milk, all other kinds of nut milk, soy milk
Alternatives to cheese: nut cheeses, soy cheeses, nutritional yeast (this is not the same thing as baker’s yeast), goat cheese (Goat cheese is easier to digest. Ideally you would eat only vegan cheeses, but for those who really feel they can’t give up cheese, goat cheese is a much better choice. As for vegan cheese, I really love the brand Daiya.)
Alternatives to yogurt: coconut yogurt, almond milk yogurt, soy yogurt
Alternatives to dairy ice cream: coconut milk ice cream, almond milk ice cream, soy ice cream

I’m Dating Again!
I’ve decided to start dating again.
It’s time.
I’ve been in a dating rut for awhile. So overly focused on my business, my One Woman Show, Acting Class, holiday prep, and day to day logistics. Life has been incredibly amazing, but something has been missing.
It’s time get back out there.
Am I perusing online dating sites?
Hitting up Singles Mixers?
Going on blind dates with friends of friends?
Nope.
I am looking across my apartment at my partner of almost 10 years. The beautiful, wise, and steady Mr. Benjamin Hamm.
My Life Date.
You see, I have to admit that I have been taking him and our relationship for granted. We are like a well-oiled machine and we work together extremely well. We give each other unlimited space and support for our separate goals and dreams.
We have Family Meetings once a week where we discuss finances, schedules, and future plans with grace and ease.
I am so grateful for all of this.
But lately, we have turned into Life Business Partners, as opposed to Life Love Partners.
This hit me recently when my mom asked me, “What do you and Ben do together for FUN?”
Crickets…
Fabulous question. I used to know the answer. When we first met, our life was filled with fun experiences together.
We loved going on runs, hiking, playing board games, exploring new neighborhoods, fake house hunting, sporting events (more fun for him than me), dance classes (more fun for me than him…see it evens out), visioning of our dreams and goals, going to plays and musicals, etc etc etc.
Yet, somehow we moved away from all of this.
Up Until Now.
Two days ago, I sat down next to Ben and said, “Would you be willing to date me again?”
He laughed and then looked at me and realized I was very serious.
“Really?” he asked.
“Yes.”
“Of course,” was his (correct) response.
We went on our first “date” yesterday, exploring apartment possibilities and neighborhoods in Brooklyn. We stopped into a cozy candlelit coffee shop and talked and laughed and cried. (Okay, Okay, I cried)
It was a two hour date, yet that was MORE than enough time for me to remember how much fun I have with Ben.
Yet, I remembered more than that. Ben is MUCH more than a Life Business Partner.
He is my Best Friend. My Life Partner. My Teacher. My Inspiration.
And absolutely, my #1 Date…
For Life.
Why Do I Feel So Guilty?
Tears were welling up in my eyes. My heart was racing a mile a minute. The possibility of puking all over my friend Pat, felt very real to me. “I just feel so guilty. Like I am going to get in so much trouble…I shouldn’t have done that.”
Pat looked me straight in the eyes, and without a hint of pity said, “Guilt? Well, that’s the problem. I gave up Guilt a long time ago. I realized it didn’t work for me.”
My chin dropped to the floor. “You’ve let go of Guilt? You don’t feel it?”
“Nope! It’s a really heavy energy. Why beat myself up? If I know I made a mistake, I learn from it, I say sorry, and I do everything in my power to make up for it. Then I MOVE ON. I let go of the Guilt.”
Pat’s sage words have popped up quite frequently for me in the past few weeks.
Recently I said and did something that I have really questioned. I was in the moment and speaking authentically, but did I say too much?
Was it bad?
Was I bad?
Should I have responded differently?
Did I hurt the people involved?
GUILT-ridden would be a rather accurate description of my state of Being up until recently.
So I took action. I re-connected with the person involved and found peace with them. I journaled about everything I learned from this experience and saw how many amazing realizations came from all of it. I forgave myself for being human. I surrendered back into the Loving.
And…I still felt the Guilt at times.
My Self-Care suffered. My Spiritual Practice became less and less cultivated. My sleep was horrendous. I was in my head A LOT.
Then I remembered Pat’s Words:
I gave up Guilt a long time ago. I realized it didn’t work for me. Why beat myself up? If I know I made a mistake, I learn from it, I say sorry, and I do everything in my power to make up for it. Then I MOVE ON. I let go of the Guilt.”
I then realized that I was CHOOSING to hold onto the Guilt energy. My Ego loved that! If I was beating myself up and not taking care of myself, then I was definitely NOT stepping into my Calling, playing Bigger, and residing in my Loving.
The Ego’s Dream come TRUE! Why? Because when we are caught in the prison of Guilt, our Egos get to be in charge. They feel safe and in control when we are playing small, feeling stuck, and in a cycle of Self Loathing.
When I stepped back and observed this dynamic, I could finally see that I was playing the Victim here, CHOOSING to feel guilty, to re-live the scenario, to stay stuck. I was CHOOSING to distract myself from my amazing life, by focusing on this drama.
That is when I gave my Ego a hug and said, “Ego, I love you. You can live inside me and help me out when needed, but…
YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE ANYMORE!”
And with that, the Guilt released into the atmosphere, and my Heart and Soul are back in the Pilot Seats working with the Big Guy or Gal in the Sky to co-manifest the life of my dreams, align me with my deepest Calling, and keep me focused on my Truth, residing in my Loving.
Guilt? That doesn’t work for me anymore! I let Guilt go a LONG time ago…:)

My Challenge for You Today
The Time is Now.
If you have been hiding, please come out into the world. If you have been toning it down, dampening your light, your Power, please stop.
It is not the time for “fitting in”. The Universe, the world, we need you. We need to hear your Unique mission and message. We are yearning to be healed by exactly the song your are meant to sing.
It might feel scary, that’s normal, but remember… the Time is Now.
There are shifts, major changes occurring in our reality and inside ourselves. We can resist and struggle, or we can CHOOSE to allow.
And as we surrender and allow the Divine to work through each of us, we will be healing first ourselves, and then the world.
The world is in pain. We have forgotten how to take care of our Home. We have forgotten we are all One Love. Yet, some of us are remembering…are you???
You are not here to play small. You are here to be a Conduit of Love and Light. To remember who you really are, and where you came from.
And as you remember, those around you will begin remembering. We are not meant to do this alone.
You are here to light your Soul on Fire and dance to the rhythm of your Deepest Knowing.
The Time is Now.
We are all being called to step up and out and into our Truth.
We are here to create Heaven on Earth.
The Time is Now.
Are you Remembering?
I am SO Ashamed to Admit this…
There is something you should know about me. I feel immense pain in my gut just thinking about it.
I am perpetually late.
Or shall I say, up until now and in the past, I have been late to most, if not all, occasions.
Even my own wedding. Well…almost.
The only commitment where I am ALWAYS on time is Acting Class with my incredible teacher Deena Levy. There are a few possible reasons for this.
1) I eat, sleep, dream, and LIVE Performing.
2) I have hypnotized myself into believing that class begins at 6:45, instead of 7. (Sneaky, sneaky…and it really works)
3) She has instilled the fear of GOD in me, in all of us. The wrath of Deena. Not because she is mean, she is just SERIOUS about the craft of Acting. It is LITERALLY my worst nightmare to walk into her class late. No really, I actually have dreams about this and wake up feverish and screaming.
My tardiness, like a cruel case of the chicken pox, has been spreading recently, all around my life. It doesn’t matter what the occasion. If I can find away to be late I will.
Even Singing Lessons with Lynn Loosier, one of my all time favorite activities, proved to be no match for my Super Human skill of running behind. Not only did I climb onto the wrong subway and end up in the heart of the Bronx, stranded and wandering aimlessly, I then managed to miss the next two possible subways back down, because I was waiting on the wrong side of the tracks for ten minutes.
Oops.
I would love to say, “Oh that’s just me. Silly Cora. I’m just a late person. Isn’t it endearing??”
But that would be Bullshit.
And because I am committed to Living my Truth, I am calling my Bluff.
The Truth is…
Sometimes I resent my schedule. It feels so full and even though it is overflowing with Love, Light, Passion, Dreams coming True, etc, I still feel trapped and tied down by the structure.
Why do we even have schedules and time and commitments???
I want to live in the Now, totally open and ready for anything that might come into my life.
I want to live in a place where there is no schedule and I can just Be.
Basically, I want to go Home. Back to the Spiritual Realm, back to true Freedom.
Yet, it is also my Truth that…
I am Here Now. I am both Home and Here.
I can practice Presence AND be guided by my schedule and structure.
If I didn’t have a schedule I wouldn’t get to experience so much of what the Earthly Realm has to offer:
Acting Class, Hot Dates with my Hubby, the incredible Body and Life Transformations of my Clients, Singing Lessons, Theater Productions and Concerts, Flights to see my family and friends, and I could go on and on.
The Truth is, I Love my Life here.
The Truth is, my Life is an Express Train to my Unique Destiny aptly named the Dream Life Express.
The Truth is, my Schedule is the Railroad Track for my train. This structure lays the foundation for my Co-Creation with Source, allowing me to follow through on my commitments, my passions, my Callings on this Earth.
The Truth is my Schedule is my Partner. And as long as I remember to “schedule unscheduled time into my calendar” (yes, I do hear how ridiculous that sounds), then I will feel more balanced, more peaceful, more centered.
The Truth is I forgive myself for judging myself for running late in the past, up until now.
The Truth is that when it comes to our Spiritual Growth, Learning, and Expansion…
We are ALL right on time.

Falling in Love in New Zealand
by fabulous Guest Blogger, Jennifer Liff
I believe that the universe works on our behalf to provide us with what our hearts desire, so long as we’re willing to ask for what we want.
Nowhere was this more evident for me than on my recent trip to New Zealand.
My plan was to visit New Zealand for two weeks by myself and drive a rental car all around the country. This would be “me” time, single girl time, independence time…..you get the point. Nowhere in this plan did I see a man.
The universe, however, had its own plans.
The night before flying to my destination, I heard a voice inside that whispered, “Buy Calling in the One.” Calling in the One is a self-help book with activities that help the reader prepare herself inwardly for love and a committed relationship.
Being one who trusts that small, still voice inside, I drove to the closest Barnes and Noble I could find. I was a woman on a mission to find that damn book! And find it I did.
Once on the plane, I read the first five chapters of Calling in the One and completed a series of activities related to love, which involved writing down affirmations and getting clear on my relationship needs. One beautiful affirmation was:
“I open myself fully to give and receive love.”
When I finally arrived in the city of Auckland, I went straight to a cafe called Salta for breakfast. I cozied up at a table with a good book (f.y.i. this book was not Calling in the One!) when a man sitting next to me suddenly turned to me and asked:
“Are you a traveler?”
I looked up from my book and saw an older, sophisticated, well-dressed man who looked quite a bit older than me. He spoke confidently and eloquently with a wonderful Kiwi accent. I was immediately attracted.
“How can you tell I’m a traveler?” I inquired.
He smiled and responded, “Well, you have a backpack with you, and Kiwis don’t usually walk around with backpacks.”
“Oh, that makes sense,” I said, smiling back.
Our chemistry was already brewing, and I realized that the universe had unexpectedly brought a man into my life within three hours of landing in New Zealand.
We’d spent the next two weeks together just talking and laughing and site-seeing, and by the end of those two weeks, it was clear that I had fallen in love with this man.
Now that I’m back in Los Angeles, I don’t know what the future holds for the two of us.
What I do know, though, is that the universe truly is a magical place, one that always hears the deepest longings of our hearts. Ric and I were both looking for love, and we found it. All we had to do was ask for what we wanted, and listen to the small, still voice within.
And I’m so glad we did.

Peeing in my Pants
When you gotta go, you gotta go!
And I definitely had to go.
I was sitting across from my beautiful Soul Friend Sarah at a cafe. I was so in the moment and engaged with her, that I didn’t realize I was starting to feel tension in my lower regions.
My bladder to be exact.
By the time, I noted this physiological sensation and chose to take action, I was already in “Emergency Bathroom Mode”.
Now anyone who has lived or spent some time in New York City, knows that this can be a challenging situation, as bathrooms are not a dime a dozen.
I excused myself from my dear friend abruptly and sprinted over to the bathroom door. It was locked.
“Oh sh**.”
I waited and waited and waited for what felt like an eternity. I politely knocked and sweetly asked, “Hello? Is anyone in there?”
Nothing.
My bladder was starting to SCREAM at me.
I knocked louder, my sweetness dissipating into frustration and annoyance.
And desperation.
Then I realized, “No one is in there. I need a key!”
Squeezing my upper thighs together I shuffled/hopped my way over to the cashier who was deep in a card game with his fellow co-workers. It was Go Fish. I politely remained silent and allowed a couple rounds of, “Do you have the ace of spades?”
“No. Go Fish.”
“Do you have the Jack of Hearts?”
“No. Go Fish.”
I jumped in.
“Do you have the Key of Women’s Bathrooms?”
I thought I was being cute and funny. They looked at me as if I were a criminal for interrupting their precious card game with such a trivial request.
Instead of handing me the key, one of the men squinted his eyes at me, exhaled deeply, and very slowly, walked me over to the locked bathroom door.
“IT”S LOCKED!!” I almost took off his head with my volume.
He exhaled again and continued walking about three feet to another door I had never seen before.
On the door were the words, “BATHROOM”. With the slightest nudge, he pushed the door open.
Shaking his head, he said, “Lady, this one was open the whole time.”
I bull-dozed my way through him and into the bathroom, where I very quickly removed my undergarments and felt the most amazing heavenly release.
“ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
It was then that I realized the amazing lesson that had just occurred.
In my desperate and chaotic state, (which Ben, my hubby, endearingly nick-named “Hurricane Cora”), I was unable to see the door that was open.
How often in my life do I turn into Hurricane Cora and miss the magic, miracles, and obvious Solutions that Source is providing for me?
In the state I was residing in at the time, I could have been sitting in the cafe on toilets instead of chairs, and not realized it.
How can I be more prepared and open to receiving the answers? The messages? The clues? The miracles?
I choose to slow down. I choose to breathe deeply. I choose to be more pro-active about my needs/desires.
I choose to look beyond the locked doors in my life, to see the multitide of doors that are swinging open, waiting for me to step up, step through, play bigger, to cross the threshold of opportunity and surrender to my Destiny.
And similar to my friend, the cafe cashier, Source will smile, embrace me, and say,
“My dear sweet daughter, this door has been open the whole time. Welcome Home.”

My Affair with the Naked Cowboy
Each day I fall more and more in love with the Big Apple. This Kansas Girl is feeling absolutely courted by New York City and I am in the “Honeymoon Stage”.
How can I not love this city? As I traipse around my Acting Class as a Leopard in a jungle, a 3 year old who is throwing a tantrum, or any other character my teacher has requested I embody, I glance out the window and catch the full moon rising parallel to the glimmering Empire State Building.
I pinch myself. Do I really live here?
Or on a brief stroll to take a break from my long days in the “office” that is my apartment, I walk three blocks to enter the magic of Central Park. I turn left to find a hidden Narnia-esque place that I have never yet seen or I turn right to find a professional musician playing a harp by Turtle Pond.
I pinch myself again. Yes I really live here. New York City is my Home. I am SO grateful.
Yet, my fulfilling and intimate relationship with NYC does not preclude a dazzling affair that I also cultivate!
This would be with Mr. Travel. One of my favorite gentleman callers.
Most recently I followed my “Second Love” to Washington DC for a Gal’s Weekend. What an adventure!
And a Learning Experience:
What I Realized when taking a Break from my Main Squeeze, NYC:
- Not all birds are pigeons. (Who knew?)
- There are BLACK squirrels??? (I seriously thought they were cats)
- Raw Food/Vegan Restaurants and Health Stores aren’t always so plentiful. (um, in NYC there are 3 on my block)
- Republicans DO exist (It’s TRUE! I met a couple!)
- There are a variety of peaceful sounds to wake up to in them morning like birds and children laughing. (Instead of incessant honking and “Move your a** you f****** a******!!!”)
- People on the street look me in the eyes, smile, and say hello and good morning. (Without then asking for money, a subway fare, or my hand in marriage…or my hand ahem…in another place.)
- And finally, I just have to say it and no offense to any other city out there but….
THERE IS NOWHERE IN THE WORLD THAT COMPARES TO NEW YORK CITY.
I’ve lived all over the country and traveled much world, and this is my current Truth.
Isn’t it interesting that it took me leaving my little home in Kansas, to truly understand the meaning of…
“There is no place like Home.”
