Recently, I underwent QHHT—a hypnotherapy that allows a counselor to speak with our subconscious to help us understand our struggles and chart paths for us to heal. It was a fascinating, emotional experience and I’m already seeing remarkable improvements in my health. One aspect of this treatment, however, unsettled me: while I was under, my [...]
In my previous post, “Why do we think life should be easy?,” I write about our unrealistic expectations of what our lives should be. Believing, “Why me?” makes it easier for us to see ourselves as victims, giving away our personal power. Years ago, I served as the executive director for a local chapter [...]
Why me? Most of us have uttered this at some time. When I ponder this phrase, I wonder where our mistaken notion of being entitled to non-stop ease comes from. Modern society creates the expectation of ease. For most of humanity’s existence, life was short and dangerous. Cavemen hunted, but were prey as well. [...]
In my post, “Earthly, spiritual and divine realms exist in one space,” I wrote that the only true barrier between dimensions is the one we form in our minds. For me, the most profound part of this message is that The Most Loving is never far from us. I’m sharing the following story not [...]
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.

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. Afterall, it’s human nature [...]
As an atmospheric river dumped snow in the Sierra making a trip over Donner Summit sketchy, we extended our trip on the California coast by one more day and headed north. We were to stay in Eureka, California at the Eureka Inn, a 100-year-old hotel on the National Register of Historic Places. As we neared [...]
Many of us spend most of our lives in an endless quest for perfection: to be flawless in our jobs, in our mindsets and in our actions. Today, I see that endeavor as hollow, an illusion holding me down, telling me I’m not good enough. So now, I embrace my imperfections and I encourage you [...]
