My column in The Owl Magazine Winter Issue is about creating a world anew framed by ethical cornerstones that can become the building blocks within family and societal structures.
Aldous Huxley was asked near the end of his life for a summation of the compendium of work he dedicated his life to explore: world-wide spiritual wisdom and ways to evolve into an enlightened society. His sheepish response was, "Try to be a little kinder." Embracing his idea of trying to be a little kinder could create a huge ripple effect. We don't need a majority to create change. However, we do need a personal commitment to be our best selves and ethical values may very well serve as behavioral guideposts to help us grow individually and collectively.
Read my column for Owl Magazine—by Mary Ellen Lucas
< Previous: Owl Magazine (Fall ’22) Next: Owl Magazine (Spring ’23) >Reverend Mary Ellen is a minister, author, teacher, and activist from Cleveland, Ohio. In the year 2000, she took a leap of faith when she responded to her heart’s sacred calling and left behind a secure job with a steady income. She became self-employed at a wellness center as a full-time healing arts practitioner, and she has committed her life to be of service, not only with what breaks her heart but also what fills her heart with joy.
Her first children’s pre-chapter book, The Day the Goose Squabble Stopped, is meant to invoke laughter and deliver a timely message. She considers her book the first one in a series of goose stories. Rev. Mary Ellen can be contacted through her website www.thelovingway.me. Her books can be purchased through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or direct through Sacred Stories Publishing. Ebooks are available on Amazon, Apple Books and Kobo. An audiobook is available on iTunes, Audible.com, and Amazon.
I have worked with Mary Ellen Lucas in many capacities for 15 years or more. Her spiritual direction and mentoring are wise, deep, compassionate and loving. Her astrological work is focused, accurate, practical and spiritual and always helpful; her classes and my sessions with her are high points of my year. Her Reiki and energy work have been very effective in alleviating both physical and emotional pain for me. If I could, I'd give ongoing sessions with Mary Ellen to ALL the people I care about.Neal S.
