Yes, you are the star of your own story, but you are not a one-person show. Your story unfolds with many players. Each of them serves a purpose. See every encounter, no matter how temporary or trivial as an opportunity to practice your lines. May your interactions not be [...]

“There’s always that …” Yes, not everything always flows exactly as you would like. There is always that equal and opposite reaction, that wildcard, that unpredictable element. Does it not add a bit of tension to all that you do, this element of uncertainty? And perhaps a bit of [...]

You are looking for big miracles … “bells and whistles” as you call these magical moments of interacting with spirit. And what of the mundane? From the higher point of view, the bells and whistles happen moment to moment when you do not forget you are connected with higher [...]

You will not see side-taking here. Opinions usually fall into categories and divide. There are varying versions of wrong and right. Fall back on what is. You exist. You are. Ultimately, there is only Pure Being arising as you and all those you know. With this apparent separation arising [...]

Just a simple smile. That is all it takes to light up the connection, soul to soul. Just a simple smile. That is all it takes to serve humanity. Just a simple smile. That is what will bring you out of your foxhole and find your Self again. Just [...]

Have you made the correlation between how far you fall after how high you go? This is one of the rules of this reality you are experiencing. What goes up or down balances itself with an equal and opposite reaction. Pay attention when you are becoming over-tired, over excited, [...]

Worry gets you nowhere. Round and round you go in a series of “what ifs” that arouse fear. Action is a good thing when it keeps you safe. Action to keep you safe can take place without worry. There is a vibration to fear that clouds the soul senses. [...]

When you encounter the wake left by another boat, you steer for the best angle of approach and hold on. You can see smooth seas ahead. When you encounter a storm and the waves all around you are rough, you take all cautionary measures and ride it out, knowing smooth [...]

You want so much to help others, to be of service in some way. What is this longing for connection? It is the soul bringing you Home in awareness. You are always and already connected to all others and all that is. This longing is the communication from within that [...]

Rain is like so many things in your life. At times it is welcome, and at others you wish it had not come. All occurs in context. All depends on the meaning you give to it. You are not happy with your current circumstance? It is like rain. It will [...]

It seems like an eternity since you saw your loved one who passed. To them, it is a blink of an eye, for time is not a factor in their current state of being. They do not worry about how long it will be until you are together again, for [...]

Years have gone by, and you are still carrying the same imbalance. This is not necessary. Perhaps you are stuck in thinking you are only human. Why are you drawn to these messages? For they speak to the part of you that knows you are more than your body and [...]

When a loved one dies tragically, one can focus on this to the point of obsession. Do not let this become your main memory. One moment in a lifetime may have high drama, but it is the countless moments when you shared a laugh, a hug, a moment of tenderness, [...]

Pay attention to what works in your life and what doesn’t. Why do you keep doing things that don’t work? All is always an attempt to feel better, albeit through various means. You can feel better instantly by pausing, breathing, and setting the intention that each choice is in alignment [...]

You want to know why there is war and famine when others have food, why there is poverty when others have riches beyond imagining. In the grand scheme of evolution, most humans are quite young. You can see this in the choices made. Altruism is a sign of maturity. Do [...]

Gratitude will get you anywhere. Why is this so? For it opens the mind to seeing possibilities instead of problems. The human is conditioned to look for faults. The soul sees with a grateful eye and notices openings through which to create yet more wondrous moments than the last. Should [...]

Awareness of propensities can be most helpful. Do you have habits that might be causing you or others strife? Perhaps you are so used to these habits you do not even imagine a different way of being. Look around you. Are others calm when you are nervous? Are others experiencing [...]

Be careful how you claim illnesses and diagnoses. These are visitors in your vehicle, imbalances that you may wish to use as opportunities to clear out that which caused the imbalance. The moment you give a name to this visitor and place it after the two very important words, “I [...]

Persistence is key when you know there is something greater than you, beyond your normal awareness, and you wish to sense that connection. There are any number of reasons why you may not feel a presence. It is here. Think clouds in the sky. At times you may be a [...]

What if you were to see the world as “Us” for even one day? World Us Day. Why, it would change your world, both at a personal level and a universal one. Your heritage is that of a need for survival, such as that experienced by your cavemen. It was [...]

What are wrinkles? Lines in cloth caused by pressure. Lines you do not want. There is an innate knowing that smoothness is the true nature. The same thing happens on the skin. Lines caused by pressure. You eschew them and do your best to get rid of wrinkles. They are [...]

“That’s what friends do.” You know this phrase, and you know what it means, for you innately know what kindness and caring feel like. This awareness comes from the soul, where connection is known. You would go out of your way to help a friend, going that extra mile without [...]

Every cell in the body is an antenna, picking up signals from all realities. Do you want good conductivity? Nourish your cells with good oxygen and water. Provide them good flow through movement of the body and stretching. The body is an instrument. Nurture it. Notice the difference in receptivity [...]

Logs. You see them piled on a truck and know them as building blocks of sorts or perhaps future pieces of paper. But they are also trees. What else do you know of that takes on different names depending upon how it appears after it has been somewhat limited and [...]

“I love them so much it hurts.” Have you ever felt this? Why would it hurt? This surge of energy in the heart is familiar. At times it feels like pain and at other times pleasure. What if it is simply the strong movement of the self-same energy that connects [...]

Do not be unwilling to change what you have already put into place. It is the belief that what you have created is finished or ready to go that could be keeping something even better from emerging. Do not allow this idea to put pressure on you. We are not [...]

What if change is happening, and you do not want to change? Then do not change and see how that feels. Flowers and weeds grow in the same way. Growth happens as a natural part of Life. Whether you like the change or not, it cannot be stopped. Change is [...]

How can you be both human and a soul at the same time? Both are simply aspects of one state of BEING.  Look at the word “Love” as an analogy. You can write it in block letters or cursive writing. In the former, you see each letter as stand-alone and [...]

Try something new today. Whatever it is:  a food, an exercise, an act … you could do this on your own or ask for higher guidance:  “What would be helpful and interesting to try today?” Make a game of it, but do take it seriously. When you break out of [...]
