You may pray and pray and pray for a miracle for yourself or another. Understand: the soul makes the decision whether to stay or go, be healed or not. Prayers most definitely make a difference. The love that is sent in the act of prayer is like a balm. [...]
Round and round you go following the spiral path of life. In a way it is linear as you experience what amounts to the passage of time but is really the progression of change. This is evolution, ever onward, ever upward. And because you learn as you experience, the [...]
Could there be a treasure right beneath your eye and you not be aware of it? But of course! All is not as it seems. What appears to be a ball of dust or dirt could be a sparkling diamond covered and costumed. You are this way, you know. [...]
“Jiminy crickets!” This is a phrase perhaps you heard in your childhood from a storybook grasshopper. The words hold no meaning until taught to you. You tell each other stories all the time. These days you hear many so-called experts telling you what to think and what to believe [...]
How much do you really know about those around you? You may be amazed to discover what you learn when you take the focus off the self. There are treasures hidden beneath the surface born of suffering and success, but they are only discovered when you take the time [...]
Before there was you, there was what? This. “This what?” you ask. Look for it now. Pause a moment and notice what comes to mind when you pause to consider what was here before you. Do not pause so long that thoughts and visions arise. Pause only long enough [...]
Flexibility and flow … two words that would serve you well to keep in awareness as you go through your day. Flexibility refers not just to making decisions within The Story of You, but flexibility in your point of view. There is more to you than meets the eye. [...]
When something goes wrong, in your opinion, perhaps you could see it another way. That delay, that malfunction … could it have prevented something that would have brought you harm? You are part of an ongoing flow. There are many moving pieces which you cannot always see from your [...]
Be patient with yourself. You are a work in progress. Have you ever seen an artist at work? A little paint goes here, and then the artist sits back to study what has been created. Not quite right? Change it a bit. Keep tweaking. How do you know what [...]
Yes, you are the star of your own story, but you are not a one-person show. Your story unfolds with many players. Each of them serves a purpose. See every encounter, no matter how temporary or trivial as an opportunity to practice your lines. May your interactions not be [...]
“There’s always that …” Yes, not everything always flows exactly as you would like. There is always that equal and opposite reaction, that wildcard, that unpredictable element. Does it not add a bit of tension to all that you do, this element of uncertainty? And perhaps a bit of [...]
You are looking for big miracles … “bells and whistles” as you call these magical moments of interacting with spirit. And what of the mundane? From the higher point of view, the bells and whistles happen moment to moment when you do not forget you are connected with higher [...]
You will not see side-taking here. Opinions usually fall into categories and divide. There are varying versions of wrong and right. Fall back on what is. You exist. You are. Ultimately, there is only Pure Being arising as you and all those you know. With this apparent separation arising [...]
Just a simple smile. That is all it takes to light up the connection, soul to soul. Just a simple smile. That is all it takes to serve humanity. Just a simple smile. That is what will bring you out of your foxhole and find your Self again. Just [...]
Have you made the correlation between how far you fall after how high you go? This is one of the rules of this reality you are experiencing. What goes up or down balances itself with an equal and opposite reaction. Pay attention when you are becoming over-tired, over excited, [...]
When you encounter the wake left by another boat, you steer for the best angle of approach and hold on. You can see smooth seas ahead. When you encounter a storm and the waves all around you are rough, you take all cautionary measures and ride it out, knowing smooth [...]
Rain is like so many things in your life. At times it is welcome, and at others you wish it had not come. All occurs in context. All depends on the meaning you give to it. You are not happy with your current circumstance? It is like rain. It will [...]
It seems like an eternity since you saw your loved one who passed. To them, it is a blink of an eye, for time is not a factor in their current state of being. They do not worry about how long it will be until you are together again, for [...]
Years have gone by, and you are still carrying the same imbalance. This is not necessary. Perhaps you are stuck in thinking you are only human. Why are you drawn to these messages? For they speak to the part of you that knows you are more than your body and [...]
When a loved one dies tragically, one can focus on this to the point of obsession. Do not let this become your main memory. One moment in a lifetime may have high drama, but it is the countless moments when you shared a laugh, a hug, a moment of tenderness, [...]
Pay attention to what works in your life and what doesn’t. Why do you keep doing things that don’t work? All is always an attempt to feel better, albeit through various means. You can feel better instantly by pausing, breathing, and setting the intention that each choice is in alignment [...]
You want to know why there is war and famine when others have food, why there is poverty when others have riches beyond imagining. In the grand scheme of evolution, most humans are quite young. You can see this in the choices made. Altruism is a sign of maturity. Do [...]
Gratitude will get you anywhere. Why is this so? For it opens the mind to seeing possibilities instead of problems. The human is conditioned to look for faults. The soul sees with a grateful eye and notices openings through which to create yet more wondrous moments than the last. Should [...]
