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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
This month’s inner reflection is on abundance. Curiously interesting to the notion of abundance is the idea of gratitude. Manifesting abundance includes daily practices of expressing thanks and feeling gratitude for all that is good in life, and for all that you already have. The beauty of abundance is everywhere. Begin to see the abundance that exists all around you; some obvious examples include water, food, sunlight, and oxygen. [...]
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 [...]
We are all divinely guided. We all have the capacity for greatness: of being greatness as our true nature as beings of spirit and of love. Whether or not you believe in a higher consciousness (something we typically refer to as god): receiving divine guidance simply means that you are able to exist outside of the [...]
In November, my suggestion for an inward focus was BALANCE. Consider how balance comes to play in your life at this moment. What insights or discoveries do you make when you keep BALANCE in mind during your day? Has your definition and appreciation of balance changed to include a gentler, more loving way of living life? I am a first born. [...]
Perhaps still one of the oldest questions that we debate on is the notion of what is GOD? I continue to hear people refer to god as a person (“he”), or an omnipotent powerful being in which they call and rely on for help. In doing so, they can leave too much of their life’s plan [...]
This month, consider the challenge of paying greater attention to your physical body – and at the same time, detaching from it. Your physical body works best with kind attention to what it needs: rest, exercise, healthful foods, and proper care. And yet, as much as we identify with our physical self, your body is not you. If you take [...]
It’s a novel way of embracing the ‘new’ in your life – letting go of what no longer serves you… Being willing to surrender and release is a powerful way to consider how you will celebrate this new year and (if you choose it) how you will live the entire month of January. Surrender and release [...]
During December, as the people of the world celebrate their culture’s holidays, I am reminded of the beauty that we strive to create: candles lit on menorahs, wreaths to decorate our front doors, lights that create amazing brightness, ornaments and objects shimmering, sparkling, bright colors that are seen everywhere, and delicious foods that we indulge in and enjoy. What are you celebrating? [...]
If you remember back to a recent post this month… I talk about the idea of B A L A N C E. Here is an element of how to create true balance in your life…now and always: Do you wonder if it is when you reach out toward others that you somehow feel supported, [...]
