Joy to the World
Not so much a late Christmas post, but more of a preview of what’s shown up unexpectedly for me. Sometimes I get really down. The truth, or rather my truth as I know it, can be burdensome. The war over consciousness is real and maintaining a semblance of peace and open-heartedness is difficult for me […]

Claim it!
I was feeling a bit under the weather a few days ago, like I was coming down with something. I felt tired, had a bit of a sore throat, and I was getting weaker. I could actually feel and watch myself decline into the belief I was getting sick. A sudden, noticeable voice in my […]

What we Think we Know
As it turns out, not much. Back in the late 1980’s I participated in the Landmark Forum. It was a very powerful and transformative experience. The processes within the Forum, many developed by Werner Erhard in the 1970’s, provide effective teachings to help you face your fear in order to live life authentically. In one […]

Divergence – Having to let go
People are going to do what they want regardless of what I think. Yes, I know this, but some intense force of urgency came over me a couple years ago and overruled my common sense: I tried my hardest to change people’s perceptions. Stupid? Well, yes. We’re getting into Einstein’s definition of insanity here: doing […]

Breaking Free from Imposed ‘Reality’
Piggy-backing onto my last post regarding organic vs artificial, let’s suppose, for example, we are all in a game, living on a game board. We can call it the Matrix, like the movie, or call it a simulation. The person who is ‘me = Donna’ is represented by my game piece, or avatar. I move […]

Finding the Truth Within
Finding our inner truth can be challenging at the best of times. Add in fear, heightened emotions and living in ‘the age of information warfare’ – good luck! I don’t know about you, but the world seems louder to me. Time seems faster and there is so much going on. We are constantly being bombarded […]

What Really Matters in Life?
I was recently on a WordPress course called ‘Where is Your Audience Hiding?’ It was quite good and went deeper than I though it would. I had to look at what makes me unique, why am I different, and why would someone want to read what I write and who would that person be. We […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Finding Your Humanity in Times of Stressful and Uncertain World Politics
When it comes to the topic of transformation, Werner Erhard is my go-to person. I recently watched a video on compassion with Werner and Dr. Jim Doty, one of the world’s leading neurosurgeons. I found it extremely beneficial in that I learned we, as humans, are hard-wired to care, it’s our default state and it’s […]

Creating a Future of Possibility
Imagine what life would be like without judgment. As far as I can tell, judgment is pervasive and automatic: we do it without realizing. We judge ourselves and we judge others. We have opinions and we make comparisons. Our brain does this in split seconds and before we know it, our opinion or judgment is […]

A Long-Awaited Change is Coming: Your Life may Start Shifting in a Powerful Way!
I am feeling an exciting, welcomed consciousness change in our midst that is having an apparent effect on people. I’ve been reading articles and blogs discussing significant changes taking place in people’s lives, starting with making big changes to their environment. Many people are moving and/or clearing out their possessions they’d held onto for years. […]
