The beauty of living in a small town, of having space around me is there is space to hear myself think. Normally that wouldn’t be a good thing, for my thoughts can lead me down crazy paths of worry and obsession. But just as it is difficult for me to hear others if they are shouting seeking to be heard, my ‘still small voice’ can get lost in the shouting of a busy life. Hearing myself think can lead me … Continue reading →
Becoming a Spiritual Seeker can originate from one of two ways – either from outside circumstances, such as pain, failure, humiliation, or profound powerlessness or hopelessness, a brokenness that leads to surrender. Or from within – a call, deep sense of dissatisfaction, feeling of emptiness, or desire for ‘something more’ that can’t be named or described. Both paths spring from a sense of lack, and recognition that we don’t know the solution. Some Souls are more stubborn then others, demanding … Continue reading →
Every time one of us pays attention to the Spirit of Love & Joy, we enter a new destination into our internal GPS. Once entered, we open ourselves to a continuous flow of course corrections from Spirit. Similar to when we key in an unknown destination into our phone, we trust that Siri won’t let us down. We willingly follow the glowing blue dot, never questioning the accuracy of Google Maps — we are assured that we are being led … Continue reading →
When you perform work from the center of JOY (which has a high resonance), the effort that you put out will lift people up. If you do meaningful work, but it isn’t from a place of JOY it isn’t as transformative. So by doing JOY, by being in JOY, you are not only raising the quality of your own life, you are also raising the quality of life of the people you serve. One person resonating at a higher frequency … Continue reading →
Every human on the planet has control issues, to some degree or another CONTROL is the force each of us possess (or think we do) and use to cope with life’s uncertainties. If someone denies having any need for control, or say that they don’t have any control issues, you can be sure they are in deep denial (or can walk on water!). The varying degree to which control is revealed has much to do with ‘nature’ vs. ‘nurture’. How … Continue reading →
Retraining ourselves and the way we perceive is not easy. Seeking what isn’t there is illogical, but can be fruitful. Applying the practice of looking, really LOOKING at negative space we can open ourselves up to a unique way of approaching life that is not predetermined or habituated. We create an opportunity to ‘see’ as though for the first time, much like a blind person who was given sight, we will discover things that we never knew were possible. If … Continue reading →
For many years I struggled with owning that I was a creative person, in fact I would defer to my sister as the ‘artist’, the person in our family who was the ‘creative one’. Eventually I was able to by-pass the whole inner debate, and came to an awareness of creativity as a force that lies within — an urge or energy that flows through and brings something forth. This energy can take so many different forms, manifest in an … Continue reading →
What if Love became something more than a Noun, something more than a Verb? Many people like to expand the power of Love by saying that Love is a verb, that it is more than an emotion, that it is more than a warm and fuzzy feeling, and that you have to put Love into Action: thus declaring “Love is a Verb”. By insisting on this perspective, by somehow putting it into action the intention is to make it more … Continue reading →
Taking the risk to be vulnerable and open, intimately, can feel like you are in free-fall — experiencing in that moment both exhilaration and terror. To risk openness is to risk the possibility of disappearing before our very own eyes. Despite our intention to keep track of who we “thought” we were – to remain our own individual self, in partnership with another, this determination (seemingly without our consent) gives way to the power of erosion. Inevitably there is a … Continue reading →
I support you in listening to your heart about whether or not a certain Choice or Action is your call or leading; others can (and often do) chime in to give their thoughts and opinions, but they have their own Light to follow. So if you find yourself in a place in your life where you don’t know where the winds of change or life will be blowing – look for the unexpected. It isn’t necessary to make ‘decisions’ about … Continue reading →
