Hi Friends! Great news. It’s finally time! I am transferring all of my blogs to my original site: http://www.Rabbicosnowsky.com Why am I doing this? I wanted to have all of my writing under one roof so I can post once and you can delete what isn’t relevant to you. If you want to join […]
Biting The Fire – Or Knowing When Enough is Enough
Enough! Here I am again with this concept that I often struggle with. How do we know if we have enough or even if we are enough? I have struggled with the idea of ‘enough’ in both the having and being sense. Our portion size servings of food have gotten so huge, that we eat […]
How To Eat An Elephant – Spiritual Endurance part 2
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Besides, even metaphorically, you can’t eat an elephant in one sitting. It would be overwhelming to do so. What we are talking about here is endurance. Endurance is what we need to go the distance. To reach the goal of the finish line before […]
Lack Of Integrity Equals Death By A Thousand Paper Cuts
Integrity. It’s a loaded word. The simple meaning is “the state of being whole and undivided.” It means having strong principals.Integrity comes from the same root as integer – a whole number. I define integrity as my outsides match my insides. When both are in harmony, I can glide through life unencumbered by strife. I […]
How Having Patience Builds Spiritual Endurance
Most of us are taught, as young children, to have patience. We learn by having to wait, to fidget, be bored and then get our reward. However, as each generation has grown up, and technology has shortened our having to have patience, it has become less of a need. If we get bored, we whip […]
Celebrating Our Past – And Planning For A Different Future

Whichever feeling we have for the holiday, we can choose to make our focus for today into something positive. We can even use the […]
The Way God Communicates Is Through “God Winks”
How does God communicate with human kind? The best way I an answer is that God sends us signs which I will call, “God winks.” That is, times when unexplainable things happen all of a sudden, and everything falls into place. These times when serendipity happens, (sometimes referred to as coincidence) and things can’t be […]
The Power of Surrender
What does it mean to surrender and how does it apply to one’s spirituality? For anyone who has a problem, solving the problem is usually the goal. It doesn’t occur to us that there may be a better way out of a problem – and that problem is surrendering to it. Our minds and bodies […]
The Power of Coincidence And Perspective
Are there really coincidences? Is it kismet or serendipity or just good luck when things happen by chance? I don’t believe that there are any coincidences. I’ve read that nothing happens in God’s world by mistake. And that theology is a choice. One doesn’t have to believe that. But to understand coincidence, one only has […]
The Healing Power of Gratitude
Gratitude is an important spiritual practice. To the naked eye, it doesn’t seem like it would be all that important. However, maintaining gratitude in life is so very essential to our psyche.
