I invite you to learn from my friend, Julia, how to raise your vibration and change your life. She has created a technique that is both simple and powerful. Why is this important? Our rate of vibration moves energy all around us and that energy responds to us according to our vibration. Like attracts like. If we are in a low vibration, like anger, depression, and fear, then we are attracting to us more to feel that way about. If you want to change your life, you need to be aware of your...

What do we do when life gets rough and our normal wisdom fails us? I had the opportunity to find out when sudden drama threw me off center. There wasn’t time to stop and think or to consciously, deliberately choose my reaction. I could have handled it better, but I got to see why I repeat, over and over again, the tools I have for changing my consciousness. Like most people, I had a lifetime of false beliefs and negative programming before I learned that I can create myself and my life the... Read Full Story
Funny thing happened on the way to my dreams; I resisted all that was a step in the right direction. How crazy is that?! Here's an example. I fought like hell to keep my house. In another state, with different laws, I would have won, but I didn't. Over a period of four months I kept getting more time in the house before we'd have to move. It looked like maybe something miraculous was going to happen and we could stay. Hm,m,m, not so much! When I realized that there was no way we were staying... Read Full Story
Some people believe that one person can't make a difference. I am not one of those people. I believe in the power of one. As individuals, our voice matters. One way that we can make a difference very easily is available at the click of a mouse. There is a site where sponsors provide food, books, healthcare, food for shelter animals, and funds for peace projects and rainforest protection. Every time someone clicks a button on the page, the sponsors pay for these needs. It takes about five... Read Full Story
I had to laugh at myself the other day. I realized that I had the tool I needed for the last six months, but didn’t use it. It’s not that I didn’t have the time or opportunity to use it. I just didn’t feel like it. I kept putting it off. A lot of things could have gone much differently if I had taken the time to get the tool out of my toolbox and used it. The tool I’m talking about is meditation, but you could probably think of several others that fit this scenario. The silly thing is that I... Read Full Story
Letting go and moving on from something that doesn’t work is a good thing, but that doesn’t make it easy. Shared time and shared experience create bonds in the heart and mind. Even when we know that moving on is the best thing for all concerned, it can still be hard to say goodbye. I told my husband that I want a divorce. “Irreconcilable differences” is the best way to describe our situation. We went to counseling. We communicated. We tried to change things (and by “we”, I mean “mostly me... Read Full Story
Why is it that sharing our spiritual beliefs with family members is so challenging? My sister, whom I have been closer to than anyone else in the family, recently discovered my work. Her reaction was NOT pretty! Many of you have probably experienced something similar. There is an old saying, "A prophet is never accepted in his home town." Now, I'm not calling myself a prophet by any means, but I get the point of the message. Whether its spirituality, unusual business ideas, or lifestyle... Read Full Story
Do You Love YOU? We hear all the time, “You have to love yourself.” How do we do that? Someone once told me that the answer was to look myself in the eye in the mirror and say, “I love you.” It didn’t work. You can’t force love and you can’t fake it. Loving yourself does not follow the “fake ‘till you make it” philosophy. It has to be real and it has to come from inside. If there are parts of your life that you are ashamed of or that you have blocked from your mind, you are not loving... Read Full Story
Choosing Freedom I know that I am supposed to forgive everyone everything because resentment only hurts the one who holds it. That is so much easier said than done. One of the disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, how many times should I forgive? Seven times?” Jesus told him to forgive 70 times 7. The point was not the number, but that we should continue to forgive without limits. That reminds me of an old saying, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” I don’t know who said it or what he was... Read Full Story
