It’s also a place for me to share my experiences with healing negative beliefs, ending vicious cycles, facing fear and allowing negative emotions to surface without judgment on my path to achieving wholeness. Please join me if you are interested in finding your own truth and a possibility for lasting healing!

Are You Listening . . .

Awareness and listening are both very important components of communication. There may be a variety of things outside our conscious awareness trying to get our attention for a chance to interact with us. The subtle and varied ways they use to get our attention can sometimes be tough to interpret and may slip under our radar. The trick is knowing that it’s possible, and understanding that messages can come from anywhere at anytime.

Time to Relax

Easier said than done! Since the Divine Demonstration I experienced a few weeks ago, and my return to innocence, I am beginning to notice how hard it is for me to relax. When my mind was fully engaged in trying to solve the world’s problems (an irrational belief), I had no idea how much stress this placed on my body or how it had become an acceptable and usual way of being. It was so much a part of my day-to-day life – I didn’t even notice it. Kind of like how a fish doesn’t notice the water.

A Return to Innocence

I’ve made a career out of being hard on myself. I’ve been my own worst enemy and abuser, experiencing cycles that delve into darkness, shutting down and withdrawing – closing off to the world and becoming unavailable. However, I do have the ability to carry on as if nothing’s wrong and fit in – when needed. My father was like that too.

A Divine Demonstration

I recently spent a week on Iona island in Scotland where I found myself living and witnessing a very powerful Divine demonstration. The island’s guardian is Columba, a very special being. On the first evening of my arrival, a friend of mine who I travelled with and had been to the island many times before, took me on a bit of a tour. We ended up at the abbey. We stopped at a small room attached to the Abbey (photo below, small door shown to the left of the cross) and went inside.

Duck and Cover

Who are you relying on to inform you of the truth? Is it your neighbor? The news media? Work colleagues? Social media? The government? Your friends and family? Experts? These groups of people may know or report on a small percentage of the actual truth – and who knows where they obtained their information from and what filters, biases and judgments the information passed through.

An Opportunity to Heal

Not sure how anyone can escape being effected by the events happening on the world stage at this time in history. I wouldn’t blame any one for feeling anger, frustration, fear or even trauma. The world can feel like a very unsafe place to be right now. Propaganda or not, it’s a very challenging time to be alive. However, if these events are bothering you to the point of getting in the way of your day to day life, and effecting your health and wellbeing, there is something you can do to help yourself come into a place of peace.

Life is Like That

Life is just like that – we take steps without really understanding who is the one walking and sometimes we need to look back to see truly how we arrived where we are standing. But for how much longer can we get away with living this way? I dare say time is running out on that way of being.

Turn a Blog into a Book

That’s exactly what I did. I’ve been writing blog posts for 3 years fairly consistently up until almost a year ago. I felt like I wrote all I could at the time so I took a break. My posts consist mainly of my own personal growth experiences. I love to share what I’ve learned with others to help them along on their journey. That was the point of my blog.

Go Neutral – Let Florence Scovel Shinn Help You

If you haven’t heard of Florence Scovel Shinn, well there’s no time like the present. She’s an avatar who was born in 1871 and her affirmations are timely and ‘work a treat’ when felt to ‘click in’ with the person stating them. The ‘click’ is an actual physical feeling as worry and fear leave the consciousness. Very powerful indeed.

Surrendering – it Works

I have a lot of experience with surrendering. Actually, to be more truthful, I have more experience not surrendering and using my willpower to bully on through, beyond where stopping, or at least slowing down would’ve been a better option. Using my willpower to push past where I’m meant to go is very tiring and futile. It’s also painful.

Sacrificing for the Bottom Line

I’ve held many positions within organizations – manager, customer service front-line, running an owner’s million dollar business, project manager, contractor, and employee left to my own devices. Every once in a while this quote from Werner Erhard comes into my consciousness:

You are You, end of Story

It’s taken me forever to write another blog post simply because I really get that no two people are the same!! I knew this but it felt nebulous, or casual in a way. How can I write posts about growing spiritually if we are all different? The guidance I give is based on my personal experience and will be true for some people but not for all. No information or way of living will ever apply to everyone, and yet there is a great assumption out there that it will.

Human Design: Utilizing Your Authority to Make Correct Decisions

Do you ever fret over making big decisions? Do your emotions get in the way trying to make everyone happy? Does your mind cloud things up with reasons, justifications and pros and cons? Or maybe you just blurt out an answer to end the torture! Decisions made this way usually are not in your best interest and can get messy.

Getting Awake and Wise to Keep Your Individuality

I’ve been noticing a shift in the narrative that’s being aimed at individuality, it’s out there and it’s happening right under our noses. Individuality is becoming extinct. Watch and listen – people are being categorized all the time. The individual is a dying species.

Self-Love: An Important Discovery

Every single judgment we have about ourselves – conscious or unconscious – diminishes any hope we have for achieving self-love. Every single slight or negative thought detracts from reaching our goal. We’re programmed and conditioned into believing we are never enough. Look around. So much pressure, stress and strain to be perfect – how can anyone feel love for themselves? Even sadness – one of God’s most precious feelings – has been made to feel wrong: “Don’t be sad.“

Lifting High Enough to Get the Big Picture

I’ve come to realize that the beliefs, deep emotions and feelings that I’ve experienced at certain times in my life, seem like they are very old – maybe even before this lifetime. I continue to experience emotional events in my life that mirror the pain and suffering from my past – until I break the cycle and heal those old wounds. Have you ever thought to yourself: My God, this grief and pain I’m feeling is way more than the situation calls for! I certainly have, and it’s what got me to look deeper into what was happening beneath the surface of everyday cycles.

20 Essentials That Will Make Your Busy Life Easier

Getting back to the essentials and basics is important. I find I need to stop all “input” occasionally because it only adds to any frustration I may be experiencing especially when things build up for too long. When I can’t get quiet to hear my own thoughts or feel my heart – it’s time to take a break.

Are We Really In Touch? How to Enhance Communications

Listening is a skill most people believe they have – but in all probability – they don’t. I would even go so far as to say the “art of listening” is rare. Look back for a minute – how many times have you felt genuinely heard? Most likely it’s a very low number – unless you’re fortunate enough to have a good listener in your life which is a true gift!

Moving From Fear into Action and Engagement

At one point a few years ago, people who fear public speaking were coming into my awareness. I can remember back when I had that same fear but was cured of it when the meeting-script binder was grabbed from my hands and literally tossed into the group by my trainer. The group loved it and clapped! He said: “Just talk, you know what you’re doing!” So, I did.

Stay Healthy Longer by Listening to Your Body’s Wisdom

Our bodies want to help us stay healthy. They have a lot to say and are a wealth of information. We get busy, life is loud, and we miss the subtle tones of our body trying to get our attention. No matter, our bodies will eventually find a way to stop us and make us listen – which at that point we might not like what it has to say.

FIFA Teams Employ the “Dark Arts” to Bully and Intimidate During the 2018 World Cup

Atrocious behavior from players participating in the FIFA World Cup has made watching the games both unpleasant and frustrating. I’m shocked at the blatant, aggressive tactics used by some of the teams. It’s like watching “big time wrestling” on a football (soccer) field. Many behaviors I’ve witnessed would be considered assault on the streets and would warrant arrest.

Thinking You Know Something may Prevent a Miracle from Happening in Your Life

An interesting notion. I was reading a friend’s blog post and had the realization: Miracles don’t come from anything we “know.” Just the opposite in fact. You can’t plan a miracle, nor can you know how they will happen. Miracles come from the unknown, many times literally from nothing – that’s why they’re miracles!

A Fledgling’s Message

One of life’s Golden Rule’s I appreciate is: Don’t interfere with nature. It’s always served me and is completely common sense. Well, I found myself violating this rule when I came face to face with a fledgling, one I’d been watching for days, trying to hide under a small fern.
