From a young age, we find that life in the physical world is not always fun. We’d forgotten why we came here: growth, soul expansion and learning to love in an imperfect environment. This amnesia leads us to adopt material priorities such as competition, judging others and “looking out for number one.” The problem [...]
I cringe when spiritual gurus proclaim they’re an old soul in a way that elevates themselves above everyone else. Old souls—those who’ve existed longer than most—have learned more, but it doesn’t make them better and doesn’t mean they know everything. If anything, their status requires them to give more of themselves to elevate others, humanity [...]
I am still working on my next blog post and expect it to be ready for mail next week. 😊It’s about praying, sending light and love to help us, our friends and family, and the world. And, how the free will of others impact the effectiveness of our prayers. For now, I’m sharing some [...]
I’d longed to find the historic Mystic Jesus: the one who speaks to my heart. I finally found evidence of Him through “Revelations of the Aramaic Jesus,” a live online class and book by Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz.

There are times when life becomes so hard it can be difficult to get through it. I believe we’re on Earth to grow our souls in ways that are impossible to do so in the heavenly realms. But, to expand ourselves emotionally and spiritually, there are times we need help. The good news is that [...]
Stress occurs when we dwell on the “what-ifs” of a difficult situation, sinking us into worry and fear. For many of us it’s an automatic response, one we may not recognize until it starts hurting our wellbeing. The good news is we can break this cycle through radically changing our outlook. Why we don’t want [...]
Living an expectation-filled life is not only tiring, it’s likely to let us down. However, when we trust that everything happens for divine reasons, we’ll find what is right with our day and marvel at where we are being led. This lesson had been a hard one for me. I had been drowning in the [...]
