As we close a year that has been especially challenging and at the same time incredibly expansive, we naturally turn our attention to what changes we'd like to see in the coming year. For many, this is a time of reflection. What did we learn in the past 12 months? What mistakes did we make? Where did we hold back, or jump into something unprepared? Looking over the past year can give us insight into how we have functioned, what worked, and what didn't. If you're like me, you like to complete... Read Full Story
Living in Abundance With all the talk about the Law of Attraction and manifesting our heart's desire, one important point seems to get glossed over. What are we contributing to others and the world? The abundance we experience is not just a matter of affirming abundance, but of living it. How do we live abundance? By giving. When we give of ourselves, our time, and our talents, we make a living declaration of having more than enough. When we care for others and give to them without need of... Read Full Story
The Divine Spark You can call it the Godspark, the 100th Monkey, The Reunion, Critical Mass, or whatever you like, but, regardless of what you call it, it is coming. People are going to be lifted up and out of this encumbered mindset into a freer, more exalted place. We may or may not leave this Earth, however, the days of being a slave to another man's whims, the days of having our happiness tied to how much money we have, the days of us harming ourselves for reasons we are unaware of are...

We don't have to continue to believe what we were taught when we were young. It's all in what we embrace. Those who embrace scarcity shall be subjected to it; those who embrace sickness shall experience its ill effects; those who embrace violence shall perish by it; but those who embrace Love and a caring Spirit shall be embraced by Love in return. What we put out is what we get back. If you find that you've been attracting challenges and discomfort into your life, you can start out by... Read Full Story
After I was molested by 7 boys at the age of 13, I swore that I would never let a man hurt me that way. I couldn't understand why women stay with men who beat them. I certainly would never tolerate it. Or so I thought. There was a wonderful man who thought I was the greatest thing since sliced bread. He sent me cards or flowers or little gifts for no reason. He called me everyday and told me how wonderful I was. He had me high on a pedestal. The day we got married, all that changed. I came... Read Full Story
When we begin to use affirmations and/or intentions, we do so because we want to change our experience of life. We write them about what we want to experience or how we want to be. A lot of people do this, don’t see the results they want, and quit. They are convinced that it doesn’t work. Perhaps it worked better than they realized. What I have found is that when I create an affirmation about something, it brings up in my experience more of what I want to change. I understand now that it... Read Full Story
The quickest way to end a peak experience is to analyze it. Judging something of a spiritual experience as good or bad, right or wrong will take you right out of it because that which is pure spirit can only be experienced in the moment. When we start making judgments about what is happening, we bring it into the past. Our judgments are based on what we have experienced before or what we've been taught. The spiritual experience can no longer exist, if we reduce it to past conditioning. Then... Read Full Story
Do you know the richness of life ? Is the living of your life exhilarating ? I've come to know these things in my life by continually choosing the thing that feels most right for me to do.

Embracing being Human We must remember that we chose to be here in physical form at this time and not fight against the physical reality we have created. Our consciousness has contributed to everything within our awareness. Only Love can overcome the world. The way we do that is to constantly remind ourselves that everyone and everything we see is God. There are a few things I do to remind myself of the Truth while I am dealing with worldly things. The first is to breathe in slowly and... Read Full Story
Awakening to Who We Really Are I'm reading Eckhert Tolle's new book, "A New Earth." He approaches the challenge of becoming aware of who/what we are through realization of what we are not. This is the most complete information I've ever seen on the ego. Sometimes, its hard to know if the ego is talking or I'm talking. I have to look at motive. If the underlying motive for anything I'm doing or saying is to make myself look or feel more important, that's ego. If its out of a genuine desire to... Read Full Story
