Quieting the mind is no small feat especially given all the chaos which has been erupting as of late.
Patience wears thin.
Stress levels rise.
People are at odds with those they were once simpatico.
Cats on a hot tin roof.
The plug or energetic connection is plugged in then disconnected, then plugged in again and disconnected again.
The disconnection is unsettling and frustrating. Read More
Everyone loves a good love story, but does your love story include you?
Over the years I have learned that a majority of women do love truly, madly, deeply when it comes to others, but not so much when it comes to themselves. They find the idea to be quite novel.
Many women have a difficult time with the thought of loving themselves, It’s as if they are either unable to understand the concept or accept their own love. While others capitalize on the self-love, embrace their strengths and soar. I find the disparity fascinating and encouraging.
I am encouraged by the number of women, who, when they dip their toes into the waters of self-care and self-love, are amused, tickled pink and grateful. Their self-esteem blossoms and their confidence increases. Read More
I just walked into my office and the Boyz II Men/Mariah Carey song One Sweet Day came on. That song has deeply touched me since its release which was shortly after the death of my mother.
However, today, the opening and closing lyrics: Sorry I never told you all I wanted to say…prompted me to stop and think about those of you who may be living those lyrics.
I think about those of you who are sorry because you were never given the opportunity to say all – or any – of what you may have wanted to say to a loved one who left this earth plane before you had the chance. That, for me, is a halting thought. I cannot fathom what it must feel like to never have been able to say all you wanted to say. Read More
“There’s no place like home for the holidays and no matter how far away you roam, if you want to be happy in a million ways, for the holidays you can’t beat home sweet home.”
I love that sentiment. Come to think of it – who will you be hosting this holiday season? Will your table include a place setting for your dearly departed loved ones? If that thought has not yet crossed your mind please allow me to share with you…
Our ancestors and loved ones in spirit enjoy the festivities and the warm and loving feelings which are amplified during this season of peace, love and joy. They take great pleasure in sitting by the fireside, keeping company with their loved ones and rejoicing in the simple pleasures of family, togetherness and happiness.
The Timeliness of the Turkey
I am grateful to the turkey for its courage, wisdom and strength. It is precisely the energy and wisdom we need to help us navigate through these trying times.
The turkey has always been a powerful spiritual symbol for many North American tribes.
In addition to symbolizing abundance and generosity, turkeys are seen as messengers from the spiritual world, offering guidance in various aspects of life.
Female turkeys are known for their protective nature and are considered symbols of fertility, protection, abundance and connection to Mother Earth. Read More
One cannot help but see the stark differences between our presidential candidates. Our current political arena is replete with opportunities for the American voter. The most glaring opportunity, as I see it, is the choice between love and fear.
The choice is quite simple, I do believe, if one applies a basic principle, the principle I have been applying quite effectively, I might add, over the last few decades.
I am of the belief all humans operate from a place of either love or fear. Love is easy to detect. We all know how a loving person feels, looks and acts. Fear, on the other hand, while simply the absence of love, can be challenging to detect. How does a fearful person feel, look, and act? Let’s take a look at that. Once you recognize the telltale signs, your life will take on new meaning. You will become an emotional environmentalist, saving energy every step of your way. Read More
Yes, school is in session – will you teach as well as you learn?
As you return to school and step into the spirit of academia once again, I wonder if it ever crosses your mind as to whether you are teaching as well as you are learning? I’m referring, specifically, to schooling with spirit.
I love schooling with spirit and am pleased to report I learn something new from the spirit realm each and every day. For example, I have learned they communicate via the language of love. The world they left behind in the physical sense is very different from when they originally took up occupancy. They are no longer limited by physical barriers or time constraints. Read More
There are songs written and movies produced which revolve around us being our own worst enemy, but what does that mean, exactly?
What would cause that perception to be created or that point to be driven home? What sets one up to be one’s own worst enemy? Just think about that phrase for a moment, “I am my own worst enemy.”
Is being your own worst enemy a problem, or an opportunity? What would you do if you knew there was a way for you to be your own best friend instead? Read More
Three little sisters appeared upon our front porch 17 years ago. Their momma, Yin, was attentive, loving and managed to keep them together and safe. Their papa, Scruffy, was a “cat-about-the- hood” yet stayed close by his family and was extremely protective.
Shortly after appearing in our lives their momma was struck and killed by a car at the end of our driveway. My own mother, Leah, also died by automobile. I had an immediate, visceral connection with these motherless kittens.
Since Scruffy was not the least bit interested in giving up his cat-abouting-the-hood-adventures and becoming an indoor cat, he granted us permission to take in his children to care for them. And care for them we did. Read More
You awaken one morning filled with an overpowering; undeniable urge to gain clarity around a situation that only one person in your life can shed light upon. If only you were able to have that one question answered, the pieces would fit together.
But before your feet land on the carpet, you pause as you remember that one person is no longer accessible. He or she transitioned into spirit. Their advice, possible solution, wisdom, call it what you will, would be invaluable and precisely what you would need to complete your puzzle and hopefully move on.
Or… will you be stuck in limbo without an answer with an incomplete puzzle forever and will you be destined to repeat the same behavior ad nauseam, spinning your wheels and getting nowhere, or will you seek an alternative, take an outside-the-box approach, or perhaps, go directly to the source?
