Wedding vows for my couple due to be married on May 23rd. This lovely couple comes from two different religions and cultures. They embrace their differences and their similarities so well. We will be doing the ceremony inside their combined Mandap/Chuppah. Stay tuned for more photos.

25 years ago, I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister. One of the best moments of my life. Sheshadri and I left for India in the middle of the program to stay with Mika until her visa came through. Brought her home and was ordained just a few short months later. What an experience and what an amazing group of people. I went on to be an advisor for the next group and later was asked to become the director of the program which I did for several years.

25 years ago this week – on December 10, 2000 – the School of Sacred Ministries ordained our first group of interfaith ministers. Congratulations and blessings to everyone involved with the pioneering Class of 2000!

One of my favorite cards in this deck is the Star card XVII. She’s collecting star energy in her uplifted vase and pouring it down to the earth. I also call her grace. I feel this energy when unexpected help comes my way with perfect timing. I also feel this energy while doing subtle noting or meditating. Energy comes pouring into my being as luminosity like star light.

Thankfully there are many paths and practices to get us there. Each individual has their own best practices.
