To focus on the positive does not mean to put your head in the sand.  Sooner or later, as a human, you must come up for air.  You look around you and you see what you call evil.  You know it, for it is in such dissonance with the heart [...]

To dream the impossible dream … Yes, songs and movies have been written from this phrase.  Lives have been rewritten as a result of it.  So many fail to dream, and those who do, dream only of possible things.  How your world would expand if you knew that anything is [...]

Fear is an integral part of the human experience—a great learning tool as well as a survival mechanism.  It is hard-wired into your system in the fight or flight response.  Do not disdain fear, but appreciate it.  But when there is no need or ability to flee, examine which of [...]

Allow yourself to make what you call mistakes.  We call them learning opportunities.  You will have these opportunities repeatedly for the rest of your life.  A decision made or an action taken which leads to a less than optimal outcome is not a mistake if it leads to soul growth.  [...]

When one you have known passes from your life it is a shock.  You are so very used to having their physical presence with you.  You see, feel, and hear the effects of a physical body and equate this with the one you know and love.  “I can’t believe they [...]

Build a bridge from your heart to the world, and then you can go anywhere with confidence.  When connected to your Source at the center, you are aligned with and guided by Love.  Yes, you may stumble a bit when walking amongst humans who have not yet discovered this sacred place, [...]

All the wisdom of the Universe is held within a fingernail and within one tiny cell of that nail.  There is no more power in your entire body than in one hair on your body.  All that exists is your Source in form, as is all that you cannot see. [...]

As you bounce back from a deep challenge, you start anew.  There is no need to revisit it and relive it again and again.  Do you do this?  If it is to see how you can avoid such a challenge again or how you could respond more lovingly should it [...]

So many wish to take their own lives when a loved one passes.  So closely bonded are you that you feel as if a part of you and in some cases the whole of you is gone.  May it help in some way to know that they are closer than [...]

When you gaze upon another, see the face of God, of Spirit.  It comes in billions of forms, not just human, but all that is.  As for the human aspects of the divine, it expresses itself in many ways, many of which you may not find pleasant or even likeable.  [...]

Your body is on loan to you.  It is a gift.  When you own a thing, do you not have a tendency to take it for granted and to not treat it as carefully as if you know it belongs to Another?  Treat it with kid gloves.  What does this [...]

Nothing lasts forever—not good times or bad.  Remember this when you are joyous or distraught.  Why?  Because joy and despair are merely opposite experiences along a spectrum you call human life.  If you can recognize that these changing states are reflections of your humanness, then you can recognize that there [...]

Where do memories come from?  Not from the brain.  They are not stored there any more than your current thoughts are.  Memories are just current thoughts that continue to exist as vibration.  Each exists as a pattern … a frequency that your beautiful instrument of a brain detects and displays [...]

How do you spell “relief”?  P-E-A-C-E.  How do you find peace?  In your very own thoughts and observations.  It is not a thing outside of yourself.  You can experience peace even in the midst of what most would label a disaster if you come so thoroughly to recognize the difference [...]

Allow, allow, allow.  What does this mean?  When you dig in your heels, no matter the reason, life cannot flow.  You become stuck in a pattern of thoughts or actions, no matter how “saintly,” and growth does not occur.  Taking a strong position, even if you are sure it is [...]

Your so-called “bad” habits are at times deeply ingrained.  They come from a lifetime of beliefs that are out of alignment with your true nature as spirit.  Some you can shuck off quite easily, once recognized.  Others are a bit more tenacious.  Be patient.  Life will continue to give you [...]

Why don’t you try something different in your prayers?  Instead of asking for favors, why don’t you simply acknowledge the Presence of Spirit—of God—in and around you?  Sit in silence for a moment and simply acknowledge the I AM.  Acknowledge Love.  And then, having acknowledged that this Power is immanent—in [...]

You do this to yourself.  Can you be honest and see that this is true?  It is easy to throw the blame at others for your stress, anger, or frustration, but why do you have so many things on your plate?  Why is there not enough time?  You have become [...]

Why are you drawn to roses more than weeds?  To harmonious music more than raucous notes?  The soul recognizes beauty, light, and harmony.  The senses are attuned to such.  It is part of the perfection of the human body and of All That Is to lead the soul to recognize [...]

Decisions come at you from left and right.  At times your life can seem overwhelming.  Many are more than happy to let others make their decisions for them, be that other a partner, a parent, or a psychic.  In your heart you already know the answers—what decision or choice to [...]

Are there regrets when you get to the other side?  Yes, of course.  The slate is not wiped clean.  Where would be the learning in that?  Where would be the soul growth?  Where would be the balance?  Do you see how it behooves you to make your amends and learn [...]

There are certain things those on the other side will withhold from you.  Why do you think that all should be known immediately?  Each of you, whether here or in the hereafter is a soul—one aspect of the Love that birthed you.  Each soul exists to grow and evolve in [...]

How often do you look for feedback from another, for verbal confirmation that you have done well, look good, sound good, are good, and so forth?  From where comes this insecurity, this need for confirmation and approval?  It is a tool of the separate self that looks around and compares, [...]

Money is a wonderful tool of the ego.  Why?  Because it is a great separator.  There will always be ways to use money to compare with others:  more or less, better or worse.  When you make comparisons and assign attributes such as “enough” or “not enough” fear comes into play.  [...]

A time to take stock.  That is what this day represents to you in a world in which time holds meaning.  You see your lives in chunks called years.  How would you characterize this one?  Yes, of course we often caution about looking into the past, but we also share [...]

Why do anything at all?  Why get out of bed?  These are not rhetorical questions, but the most important questions you can ask yourself.  Stop before doing anything and ask in each moment, “What is my motive in doing this task?”  If it is to build up your sense of [...]

“I want, I want” … two words which can take you farther and farther from peace  They are intricately connected with the thought, “I need.”  Be careful of these thoughts, for they are all part and parcel of the illusion of separation.  As you awaken and come to realize your [...]

All are loved equally in the eyes of God.  Do not waste a single breath feeling unworthy or unlovable.  Guilt is a necessary learning tool, but do not allow your past actions to make you feel less than any other.  Use them instead to propel you to make higher choices [...]
