One day as I griped to myself about how hard life was, I’d thought, “I’m going to get the most out of this life, because I don’t want to come back to Earth again.” However immediately after that, I had the revelation that my presence here isn’t just for my growth: it’s to contribute positively [...]
When you love someone, you enjoy communicating with them. So it makes sense that the Supreme Being reaches out to us as well, even if we don’t recognize it when it happens. Through increasing our awareness and learning how to listen, all of us can regularly receive divine guidance. Practice thankful prayer and meditation For [...]
Some religions believe that our earthly plane is removed from the heavenly and spiritual realms. That our end goal is to ascend to a different location, wholly separate from our physical existence. Imagine my surprise, when meditating, that I learned all realms exist in the same cosmic container, intersecting and residing in the same [...]
None of us want to experience tough times: to drop into the chasms of depression, worry and despair. However, when we find ourselves in this place, we can flip our perceptions of the dark, increasing our capacity to love and experience joy. It’s so easy to be scared of the dark.

Over the course of our lifetime, each of us will meet more than 10,000 people. At any specific point, people are strategically placed in our life for a divine reason. They have their part to play in our time here as we have a part to play in theirs. Like a spider’s web, our [...]
Each of us have been gifted with a unique set of blessings: assets and talents that bolster our lives. While it seems blessings are of a personal nature, we can increase the common good by sharing those gifts. Sharing strengthens our community, our world. By sharing our blessings (physical, emotional, spiritual or monetary) with others, [...]
Many of us struggle to love ourselves. We may feel we’re falling short of where we thought we’d be at this point in our lives; we may have different dreams than society wants us to focus on; or we’re so busy trying to make ourselves into what others want, it empties us inside. It’s easy [...]
