There is quite a difference between doing and being. With being, you flow. Picture a leaf in a stream. There is no effort. It is moving effortlessly with the current. In doing there is effort. Oh, how much easier your life would be if you would learn to find that [...]
Rocks in a stream. They impede the flow, but what does the stream do? It does not stop. It flows over and around, caressing the rock. It does not complain, “Oh, you are in my way!” No, onward it flows, ever so slowly wearing away at this obstacle without any [...]
You spray perfume to clear the air of unwanted scents, but what do you do with unwanted thoughts? They do not disappear so easily, especially if you simply mask them. Why, you look them straight in the eye, so to speak. You acknowledge that they have arisen, for this is [...]
What is the first thing you think when you look at another? How do you judge that book by its cover? Do you notice the size, the shape, the gender, the race? Do you notice the smile, the frown, the lines on the face? This is pure training. You learned to see in this way. It [...]
Interpretations. You read words passed down through the ages. What do they mean? Will you trust the interpretation of someone other than yourself, who may have been told what to believe by others as well? Or will you move awareness to the heart, where dwells pure Awareness, your very Source, [...]
Swirling lights. Bouncing orbs. Flashes of insight. Visions of beings now passed. What to make of all of this? You are not alone. You are limited for a while in your sight and hearing and touch, but you are never out of touch with Divine Presence. At times there is [...]
Fairy tales have happy endings, and yet you look around you and you see some stories in your life that do not. An ending is not always an ending. Life goes in cycles. Death leads to rebirth. Life can be a page-turner. You don’t know what’s coming in the next [...]
What are miracles, but signs that reflect back to us in undeniable ways the power of our True Nature. This past Saturday I gave a charity workshop called "Shedding Your Skin" to help you move beyond your fears (shedding your human "skin"/the ego) to freedom (the soul's innate state). We [...]
You view the eyes as your blindfold to the non-physical world, and it is an apt analogy, but it is not only the eyes which keep you blinded to the eternal presence of Spirit within and without. The entire body is a mask of sorts. What you put into it [...]
Listen. What do you hear when you stop talking? What do you notice when you stop thinking? You cannot stop thoughts from arising, but when you pause to listen, the thoughts arise and are noticed in awareness. Now you can choose which ones to follow, instead of blindly responding to [...]
Connecting with Loved Ones Who Have Passed is Only Part of the Miracle We want so badly to connect with our loved ones who have passed. This is validated by the number of you who respond so positively to my online and in-person classes that teach how to communicate across [...]
“This is an interesting twist in the plot.” Imagine how much more peaceful your life would be if this were your habitual reply when things got ... well, interesting. Yes, you have chosen as a soul to live in the world of duality, and you do that through your story. [...]
Unfinished business … Interactions with those closest to us can be challenging when they’re out in the open, but unresolved issues can fester for years, if not lifetimes. These can cover the spectrum from hurt feelings or broken hearts to loving words or praise left unsaid when a loved one [...]
You as a soul agreed to come into form and wear a body for a while. Such creative opportunities this experience affords you! And you knew that this body would limit your awareness of your true Being. And you knew that there would be fellow souls, perhaps a bit less [...]
The question is asked: “Do you care more about that other person in your life than you do about yourself?” as if this is a test of your spirituality. And we say, it is not a matter of loving one more than another. Ego, or caring about the self, is not [...]
Affirm, affirm, affirm: “I am loved.” Affirm, affirm, affirm: “I am safe.” Yes, you look about you and see harm being done. You know that in a world of human beings and even in nature death and sickness occur, but you are so much more than human. Do you know [...]
Would you ask the deep life questions if one you love had not passed? Would you wonder about the purpose of life, the eternality of it if you did not feel a longing to be with them for eternity? There is purpose in the brevity of the physical life. Brevity, [...]
Inventions. They seem to spring up from nowhere. Creativity is the source. Need is the impulse. And voila: something new. A creation. Do you see how you are created in the image of the Creator? You were an idea. You are born from the desire of the Source to birth [...]
You give and give and give, but can you allow yourself to take? If not, what are you telling yourself? Did you know that as a soul, there is no concept of worthy vs. unworthy? At the soul level, you know that you are love in expression. Love flows back [...]
How do you explain tragedy when it strikes? When innocent people suffer? When there is no good answer to “Why?” You open to the mystery. Pain propels you to seek answers beyond the human world of tragedy and triumph. As you come to see this reality in a new light, [...]
Do you not at times grow tired of this life with all its ups and downs? Yes, you know you are a soul. Yes, you know you came here to experience the fullness of LIFE — Love In Full Expression — but nobody said it would be easy. So rest, [...]
