Soul Nutrition
What are you feeding your mind? What kind of mental diet do you digest daily? What you read and watch is as important to the soul as food to the body. Regular ingestion of lower vibrations maintains your over-all state of consciousness in a state of indigestion. Heartburn is the [...]
The Only Answer
Hurt people hurt people ... and animals, too, it seems. One hour ago I was driving through my community and had to slow for a beagle crossing in front of my car and several others. We never see unleashed, unaccompanied dogs around here. Concerned for his safety, I pulled into an adjacent [...]
Small vs. Big
Why do you do what you do? What is your motive? Ultimately, all actions come down to a desire for love. It is that simple. When it becomes complicated is when the love you seek is self-love, a false sense of needing to feel separate from your fellow souls, instead [...]
Integration
Long distance travelers grow weary. All need rest at some point. Along the path you cannot be in a constant state of doing without suffering imbalance. Periods of merely being allow for integration of what is learned during the doing. On and off, work and play, doing and being. Seek [...]
Beneath the Surface
How do you find peace? By going within. Certainly, it can be found outside of you, but not for long, for that is not the nature of the external world. There you may get shaken up a bit, tossed about by the waves, and that is as it should be. [...]
The Straightest Path
Cheating … when one arrives at a prize by not following established rules … when one earns position, authority, success, or gain of any kind by a crooked path. The thought brings a concept of unfairness to mind. The hair bristles. It is human nature to desire the prize and [...]
In a World of Duality
To focus on the positive does not mean to put your head in the sand. Sooner or later, as a human, you must come up for air. You look around you and you see what you call evil. You know it, for it is in such dissonance with the heart [...]
When the Impossible Becomes Possible
To dream the impossible dream … Yes, songs and movies have been written from this phrase. Lives have been rewritten as a result of it. So many fail to dream, and those who do, dream only of possible things. How your world would expand if you knew that anything is [...]
Ever Onward
Allow yourself to make what you call mistakes. We call them learning opportunities. You will have these opportunities repeatedly for the rest of your life. A decision made or an action taken which leads to a less than optimal outcome is not a mistake if it leads to soul growth. [...]
The Bridge
Build a bridge from your heart to the world, and then you can go anywhere with confidence. When connected to your Source at the center, you are aligned with and guided by Love. Yes, you may stumble a bit when walking amongst humans who have not yet discovered this sacred place, [...]
A Different Kind of Power
All the wisdom of the Universe is held within a fingernail and within one tiny cell of that nail. There is no more power in your entire body than in one hair on your body. All that exists is your Source in form, as is all that you cannot see. [...]
Starting Anew
As you bounce back from a deep challenge, you start anew. There is no need to revisit it and relive it again and again. Do you do this? If it is to see how you can avoid such a challenge again or how you could respond more lovingly should it [...]
For a Reason
So many wish to take their own lives when a loved one passes. So closely bonded are you that you feel as if a part of you and in some cases the whole of you is gone. May it help in some way to know that they are closer than [...]
Who You Are
When you gaze upon another, see the face of God, of Spirit. It comes in billions of forms, not just human, but all that is. As for the human aspects of the divine, it expresses itself in many ways, many of which you may not find pleasant or even likeable. [...]
Finding Peace
Nothing lasts forever—not good times or bad. Remember this when you are joyous or distraught. Why? Because joy and despair are merely opposite experiences along a spectrum you call human life. If you can recognize that these changing states are reflections of your humanness, then you can recognize that there [...]
Giving Meaning
Where do memories come from? Not from the brain. They are not stored there any more than your current thoughts are. Memories are just current thoughts that continue to exist as vibration. Each exists as a pattern … a frequency that your beautiful instrument of a brain detects and displays [...]
Finding Peace
How do you spell “relief”? P-E-A-C-E. How do you find peace? In your very own thoughts and observations. It is not a thing outside of yourself. You can experience peace even in the midst of what most would label a disaster if you come so thoroughly to recognize the difference [...]
Digging In
Allow, allow, allow. What does this mean? When you dig in your heels, no matter the reason, life cannot flow. You become stuck in a pattern of thoughts or actions, no matter how “saintly,” and growth does not occur. Taking a strong position, even if you are sure it is [...]
In Acknowledgment
Why don’t you try something different in your prayers? Instead of asking for favors, why don’t you simply acknowledge the Presence of Spirit—of God—in and around you? Sit in silence for a moment and simply acknowledge the I AM. Acknowledge Love. And then, having acknowledged that this Power is immanent—in [...]
What You Are
Why are you drawn to roses more than weeds? To harmonious music more than raucous notes? The soul recognizes beauty, light, and harmony. The senses are attuned to such. It is part of the perfection of the human body and of All That Is to lead the soul to recognize [...]
Going Direct
Decisions come at you from left and right. At times your life can seem overwhelming. Many are more than happy to let others make their decisions for them, be that other a partner, a parent, or a psychic. In your heart you already know the answers—what decision or choice to [...]
In Progress
There are certain things those on the other side will withhold from you. Why do you think that all should be known immediately? Each of you, whether here or in the hereafter is a soul—one aspect of the Love that birthed you. Each soul exists to grow and evolve in [...]
