The ego loves the term "what if?"; the worst case scenario drops into view with fearful certainty that only the dark ego can conjure. What if "what if?" was used for your good - to imagine all that's possible in your life?......... "What if?" can be asked with casual curiosity; a quick, worry-free pivot response to the doomsday thinking. For example; "What if I get rejected?" changes to "What if… Read more
In meditation, I saw this clarity about 'acceptance': acceptance = acceptance of being here on Earth + acceptance of purpose + (accepting all others + being accepted) I asked "how?" for each part of the equation: acceptance = being here in the 'now' moment + being Light + accepting myself acceptance = being here in the 'now' moment + being Light + loving myself acceptance = being here in the 'now' moment + being… Read more
I had a beautiful female Cardinal visit me two weeks ago. I’m glad she didn’t have to martyr herself for my sake – I got the message. She announced herself with a thud. I’m sure she didn’t mean to be so dramatic but she did need to get my attention, so she flew right into my window, unfortunately. And down she fell onto my porch, a little bit surprised as… Read more
We are living in a time that calls for our courage. This is a beckoning to our hearts, not our minds. Courage wells from a deep commitment within to create change. It does not involve any pushing, only the trust of Divine support through and through. Courage is often misconstrued. We tend to think of needing to find courage for formidable circumstances, those that we view as herculean in nature… Read more
The days of relying on gurus or ascended masters to be your authority are now gone; you are your own inner authority. While others can guide you, the impetus to allow your authentic power to flourish and anchor can only come from you. There is no other place than your own inner Spirit from which the highest expression of you as love can unfold. When you allow yourself to be… Read more
(definition) Self-compassion: you in your fullest potential - right now! When we feel compassion for others, we open our hearts to bring love to suffering in the desire to alleviate it for them. Compassion for others is: * noticing their suffering * feeling with them in their pain * responding with kindness no matter what the circumstances * acknowledging the imperfection of the human condition, and loving anyway We are a… Read more
This article was written in March of 2011. Japan still needs our love and awareness of the truth of the situation. Like many people in the global community, I have been keeping myself informed of the multiple difficulties facing the people of Japan following the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear crisis. In this dismantling and clearing of old energies they are surely bearing tremendous loss. Yet, in the face of… Read more
Driving in the countryside at this time of year feels like waking up from a delicious, afternoon nap; you know that you have to get up and move onto to other things but the cells in your body balk at the idea of any hurry. As you linger in the peacefulness, your senses slowly stirring, everything just feels good. That's the way I felt as I let the open road free… Read more
We celebrate Earth Day in April of each year. It's a time to raise our consciousness to hers and be mindful of our relationship. Hopefully, for even five minutes, we pause to personally thank her and perhaps reflect on whether we have been friends or foes. Do we treat her kindly or disregard her needs as she meets ours? So it felt right to let Earth speak. She reminds us that we are, without a doubt, more… Read more
In a short tour of some local shops my eye caught this little gem of a statement on a garden plaque: 'You are Here.' It seems like such an obvious statement doesn't it? Where else would you be? But then why do we need to keep being reminded of this? Most often we are not 'here.' It's said that we have anywhere from 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. It would be safe… Read more
