One of these days, I’m going to write a more extensive blog on the topic of channeling. Channeling Divine energy is simply the act of being in touch with your Highest Self. On some days (like this morning ) I channel bold global statements that I feel are worthy of sharing – trusting in that [...]
There are many definitions for who and what a ‘father’ is. In organized religion, “Father” (theologian, priest, Padre) is the term used to refer to a person who performs and oversees a sanctioned sacred ceremony. “Father” is also the name for a higher power – e.g. “God the Father” (the first person of the Holy [...]
Sometimes a situation cannot heal until you release the challenge completely – allowing healing light to enter it. To realize a healing, you must first stop focusing on “what is wrong” and instead affirm: “Everything is in Divine and perfect order right now”. Hold thoughts of love around any situation that needs healing. Visualize [...]
April has begun with a gentle quietness. There are signs indicating a ‘break’ in the weather and the coming ‘thaw’ of Spring. Yet even with the promise of warmer temperatures and the anticipation of nature’s gentle ‘rebirth’, there are also gentle reminders (like the small snow pellets falling last week and the intermittent cold days!) of the need for [...]
What does it mean to have eternal life? How are we immortal? If you choose to honour life in its infinite perfection, and for the many experiences – all of which give us incredible opportunity for knowledge, growth, healing, joy (and fun), etc. – then the experience of death is yet another experience of life. Experiencing death [...]
The message of February’s ‘SURRENDER AND RELEASE’ reminds us of the power in “letting go”, of shedding the parts of our self (and our life) that are no longer working, nor contributing to the good of our Highest Self. When you surrender it means you can stop forcing something that may not be divine [...]
How do you embrace January? What events and life circumstances have been presented that you need to examine; to experience; to go within and contemplate… and to feel BLESSED by? What situations have you been ‘challenged’ by this month? It’s not too late to reflect on the notion of BLESSINGS and the idea of looking for the [...]
The soul’s journey is one of a peaceful existence. We listen to and allow the many ways in which the soul speaks quietly, purposefully to us and we are gently moved in the ways of spirit. What does your heart say that honours your spirit best? This is how you best guide your next actions [...]

SIGNS are one way of receiving divine guidance. Rather than resist what comes before you, consider it as a sign – a message of spirit that invites you to see another way – another path – a path that is even more perfect than the one you might have been on. Signs are important ways [...]
Dreams are the way our unconscious mind communicates with us. The unconscious (the soul) is how you are guided in your waking moments and in your dreams. Most of us are not aware of our unconscious during our busy waking moments and so it is in our dream state that we may receive the guidance and messages [...]
As a child, the word: blessings carried with it a religious connotation. It described what I was ‘to feel grateful for’. To be ‘blessed’ meant that someone was fortunate, privileged or ‘lucky’; or that they were in some way special. Blessings were also something a religious official would offer members of the congregation; through prayer or thoughtful [...]
Spiritual growth is what happens as we begin to examine our ‘self’ by going within…often in quiet contemplation or meditation … and realizing that we are much more than the physical being that we see. Just as winter may hold a space in our lives for the ‘hibernation’ of inner observance and examination; the season of spring offers an impetus [...]
As human beings, we have a fundamental and inherent need to experience love. Whether it manifests itself as an unconscious desire to have others like and accept us (and so our behaviour becomes motivated by this need); or an deliberate drive to experience love through our relationships, the truth is….we all seek love. Never before in the history of the [...]
It is no surprise International Women’s Day falls on my Father’s birthday. He has raised me to be my own advocate, to stand proud of my abilities and accomplishments, to seek any goal that I may choose, and to see myself as capable and equal to all of humanity. We might choose to be reminded of any [...]
