The Daily Way

Bells ring at weddings. They ring at funerals. They ring to announce births and church services. They are a call to worship, a call to gather … an announcement: “Pay attention! Come together. You are not alone.” Were you alone, there would be no need for bells. Gather with others [...]

Your reality is reality. It cannot be anything else. What you wish to know when you ask, “Is this visit from my loved one real?” is, “Does anyone else have the same experience?” You see, to most humans, the concept of real and not real is the difference between individual [...]

Wisdom. Each human is imbued with this. It arises not from the intellect, but from the heart, which is the bridge twixt human and higher self. Of course, we speak of the energetic heart of you—the central point that merges your earthly tendencies and those of spirit. Wisdom is often [...]

Why do you look outside of yourself for answers? The answer is, out of habit. The eyes naturally move up and to the left when pondering. Ponder this: where do you absolutely know “I am”? This knowing is not “up there,” “out there,” or even in the head. This knowing [...]

Perseverance. What makes you stay with a thing that is challenging? There is an internal nudging to do your best, to see it through to the end. This is part of the evolutionary drive of the soul, but it is more than survival instinct, dear one. There is one primal [...]

You are always being called upon. This is why you are here … to help others. You thought it was all about you? In a way, of course, it is, but no man is an island. It is all about relationships, dear one. When another reaches out for help, if [...]

How do you react in a crowd such as a party? Do you feel uncomfortable, even though you entered with every intention of being at ease? Realize that you may be picking up on the underlying current of others’ unease. There are so many who feel judged, unworthy, and a [...]

You speak of two worlds and in so doing you mean the physical and the nonphysical realms. But do you not see that these terms involve relativity? From where you seem to stand, you are standing on firm ground, yet to those in a realm of higher frequency there is [...]

“Nip it in the bud.” What does this mean? To cut off something that is growing before it has a chance to blossom. Are there not times when you are on a certain trajectory and something happens to thwart you? You may feel slighted. You may feel insulted. You may [...]

Jewels come in many shapes and sizes. They sparkle until covered in earthly dust and dirt. Did you know you are a sparkling gem? It matters not how covered in layers of story you are. Within you is a gem that is priceless, beautiful soul. You do not believe this? [...]

Memories long forgotten remain in your energy field. Are you afraid to look at them? Do not be. What you fear persists. Look and see that they are part of your wholeness. All stories have ups and downs, happy parts and sad parts. What you reject keeps you from realizing [...]

Be ready for anything. You tend to make assumptions and assume that all will follow a trajectory, whether downward or upward. This is the challenge. When you fail to think outside the box, you remain boxed in by assumptions and history. You understand today that tiny particles do not actually [...]

Jump for joy! There is a reason you have this phrase. When Joy as a force bubbles up within the soul, this translates in the body to a feeling that must be expressed. Like a volcano ready to erupt, the effervescent energy bursts forth. You jump and throw the arms [...]

There is a world of wonders awaiting you. We are not speaking of planet Earth and the many beautiful souls which inhabit it. For sure, these are wondrous in themselves, but we are speaking of the non-physical. Could you but see through what appears to be empty space around you [...]

There are times you must do things you do not wish to do. Examine why you are doing them. There is a concept called obligation. Just how far do you wish to take this? Always return to motive. Does it serve the greater good? Does it bring more love into [...]

Set aside your desperation to know all the answers and just be the answer. Stop searching for just a little while and be the search. Look no farther than the tip of your nose and be the one who knows … all of This is My expression. I am Love [...]

In your leadership and management classes you learn about delegation. This does not mean you get out of doing work. It means that you count on help from others. Delegate to the angels, dear one. You do not have to do it all alone. There are so many of us [...]

See Joy, Source, in all things and all beings. In this way, you will look for the bright spots. When you see a parent scolding a child or lashing out in anger, it is their own angst they are projecting. The unconditional love of a parent is how the angels [...]

Where you place your focus is what you experience. Do you wish for the help of guides and angels? Talk to them. Ask them to walk with you moment by moment. Do you wish to sense a loved one who has passed? Call on them to sit beside you in [...]

Yes, there are those who will wish to cheat you. They will use deceptive measures that may anger you. What an opportunity! Will you fall into the trap? Not the trap of going along with their scheme. That is their ignorance. The trap of remaining in ignorance yourself that you [...]

Keep in mind the importance of intention. Anything is possible, with limits, of course, within the physical reality. But when you are creating, you are dipping into a sea of possibilities beyond the physical. Intention takes what is potential and begins a process of solidifying as you would understand it. [...]

Whirlpools have a way of sucking you in. You know what to do when caught in a riptide. It is the same thing when sucked in by human drama. Flow. Do not fight the currents. As you flow, you are carried along until you find the still waters. Help is [...]

Peace be upon you. Is that not what you want? Running about looking for it, most especially outside of yourself in the world which appears far from peaceful will not help you find it. Perhaps you do find a sanctuary such as a church where peaceful, holy energy has built [...]

There is always another way. When you refuse to look for alternatives, suffering ensues. Knee-jerk reactions happen when one is tapped. You cannot help it. Now that the leg has settled back into place, take a breath and see what alternative steps forward that leg can take. How is that [...]

Why do you do anything? Ask yourself this question before you embark on a new project. Stop. Breathe. Ask, “What is my motive?” The answer will point to the self and others. You know which motives are for the self and which are selfless. It does not have to be [...]

To get more, you must give more. This is the law. And what is a spiritual law? An unerring “this is how it always works” rule you can depend on. Depend on this: The more love you give out, the more returns to you. The more kindness you exude, the [...]

Put yourself in another’s shoes. They may be ill fitting. They may pinch a bit, and why would they not? You all are created equally at the deeper levels, but you express your divinity in unique ways. And that is the point. Whether you wear pointy shoes or open-toed sandals, [...]

All dramas have villains and victims. That is what provides the drama. You did not ask for this. It is a normal effect resulting from the manifestation of the world you know. Ups and downs, good and bad. But you are not separate from the world. You are an integral, [...]

Find the common ground. One of you may be on the mountain and one in the valley. It is challenging to hear each other when so far away. All roads ultimately lead to the same place, do they not? Not in the physical world, but in the world that is [...]

Choose to be at peace. If you can change a thing through your positive actions, then by all means do so, but if you cannot, then how you think about that issue is up to you. If you focus on the negatives, you will not radiate peace. What if you [...]
