The Searcher


In my work as a parent educator, I teach many different workshops to parents, childcare providers and teaching staff. Before each class, I set an intention that I will be a conduit of information for those who are in attendance and particularly the “one” who is searching for an answer or solution to a pressing quandary in their lives. Invariably, there is at least one person in the audience whose eyes light up at some point and I can see them recognize that they need to connect with me for the part of the puzzle they have been missing.

Guide for the Journey


Many times after a workshop there will be crowds of people visiting with me about the topic or their particular concerns, but this person will hang back, perhaps unsure if they should broach their deepest desire. I usually hand them a business card with my email address and tell them to contact me personally. If they do, and not all or even most of them do, I can usually point them to the right doctor, counselor, book, class or information that will guide them on their journey. Because of my wide network, the answer they are searching for is usually just one degree or phone call away.

Paying it Forward


Because I have been so blessed to connect with like-minded souls it has become commonplace in my life, I want to pay it forward. The law of attraction works constantly, we just need to recognize and act on that positive attraction. I have learned that when I have a prompting, I need to follow through and pay attention to the clues along the way. Many times, in retrospect, it is easy to see how the Universe presented the answer to us earlier in our lives but resistance caused us to hesitate or doubt.

I am grateful we get second chances and do-overs to be guided to our life paths

Are You Stuffed Like a Turkey?

Are You Stuffed Like a Turkey?
Judy Wright, life educator 2006


In America, Thanksgiving traditionally means family, friends, and especially food. We cook and eat as if there was a scarcity of turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing and creamy vegetables. We dive into pumpkin pie as if there was a national law that says it can only be served and eaten one day a year.

Surprise! Stores sell turkey, ham, potatoes and rolls all year long. You can fix it for breakfast if you so desire. You can even invite the Thanksgiving group over any other day of the year. You do not need an excuse or a special day to gather and break bread.

The average woman consumes 1,400 to 1,800 calories in an ordinary day but between 2,000 to 3,000 calories during traditional Thanksgiving dinners. You can see that a huge dinner exceeds bodily comfort zones, edging you into a food coma rather than a satisfied awareness of family and good food.

The very idea of a holiday feast appears abundant. Looking at a laden filled table reminds us of our blessings and instills a sense of gratitude. Abundance means ample supply, more than enough, and plenty to share.

Eat your fill of turkey and mashed potatoes this Thanksgiving. Enjoy a taste or two of everything. Eat till you are stuffed like a turkey, if you want, but do not eat as if there is a shortage of good food. Laugh and mingle with friends—maybe even set up a date to gather monthly. Set an intention to turn Thanksgiving into Thanks-living.

Remember that abundance does not come just once a year. It waits for you every day.

Now, pass a small piece of pumpkin pie!
