Mashed potatoes or “pomme puree”? Three distinct foods plopped on a plate, or plated with aplomb? There is an art to food these days, is there not? And so it is with life. You can live each moment paying no attention to the inherent beauty, or you may live with [...]
At times your efforts to please another seem to be in vain. Why do you make them? Do not do so to get something in return. Do so because you are giving a gift of your love and affection. At the level of the soul, you are interacting with love [...]
What issues have you failed to resolve? What wounds are you carrying forwarded moment by moment just waiting to surface so that you can clear them away and restore yourself to a state of harmony? Your mind, body, and spirit know you are innately whole. They naturally seek balance. This [...]
Praise. You know it works wonders when you give it to others. You have heard it refer to giving gratitude to Source. Do not wait to receive it from others. Give it liberally to yourself, for you are an extension of the greater Self. There are far too many of [...]
This moment right here, right now, is all you ever have. The rest is memory or prediction, past or future, all arising here and now. Why is this important? Because here and now is where you experience peace. Here and now is where you can connect with any other being, [...]
Always do things for the right reasons. How do you know what that is? The soul is your very being. It is not apart from you. It speaks to you from a knowing of right and wrong, of the difference between self-serving—which comes from a place of fear and perceived [...]
“Wouldn’t it be awesome?” Yes, in the modern vernacular, this is a most awesome way to manifest your dreams. You may have a vision board if you like, but to do so and insist that the items on the board play out exactly as you envision them limits you. Use [...]
When has violence ever solved a problem? When has shouting, calling names, and pointing fingers done the same? Oh, you may think it does, but what you are seeing is a temporary solution. What is the root of any challenge? Separation. The outcomes that result from violence and disharmony only [...]

Truth or Consequences. This was a show in which three people pretended to be the same person so that only one told the truth. There are consequences when you identify solely with the role you are playing in this life. The truth of your existence is that you are both [...]
Gratitude. It is a leveling force, meaning that it brings all of you, no matter your differences, into resonance. Resonance is synonymous with harmony. You know harmony when you hear it, just as you recognize when things are out of tune. Gratitude is a tuning fork. Use it often and [...]
“You push yourself too hard.” Perhaps you have heard this said about yourself. Why the pushing? Why the striving? We understand. It comes from this longing, this need, this feeling that something is missing. It keeps you looking, moving, doing, and yet, you never seem to “get there.” The reason [...]
Course corrections. These are made when you notice you have gotten a bit off track. Noticing is key. Otherwise, you could continue moving forward as you are and not realize you are going astray. How to notice before you miss opportunities? Well, opportunities lie in each moment, no matter what [...]
The synchronicities come one after another, pointing you in a certain direction, to a certain outcome. Pay attention to this word “certain,” for it can be understood two ways. In this case, the meaning is not random. The meaning is assured when the universe goes to great lengths to surprise [...]
If you are going to be distracted by the elements of the story that you call your life, then let them be those that align you with your true nature of peace and contentment. What is it in your state of being that never changes? Oh, you may think in [...]
