Do Not Allow Your Past to Define You…
Every minute of every hour of every day each and every one of us is writing the story of his/her life, whether you are consciously writing or simply writing-through-living. As you live you write, as you write you live, and so it goes.
“I can take all the madness the world has to give, but I won’t last a day without you.”
Lyrics from a popular song from days of yore. Lyrics very applicable to today.
There is a great deal of madness in this world as I write, as they speak. A great deal of unnerving deaths and a great number of people having to face the day, any day, without their “you”. Their someone special, significant other, child, parent, sibling.
The word unnerving cannot be stressed enough.
One death is far too many. 140,000 and counting are not only unfathomable, they are unnerving. So what’s a person to do?
On March 23, 2020, the Governor of Massachusetts issued an Executive Order requiring all non-essential businesses close, the following day. Overnight our lives became dramatically different and far more challenging.
March 24th was a little over two months ago, but it sometimes feels like it was over two years ago – doesn’t it? Some have been coping well, others, not so much. We have been tethered to a place of betwixt and between – a place of not being here, nor there.
If we fail to recognize the sharp contrast between life before the pandemic and life in the present moment, we may never regain our sense of balance, or our sense of connection. We may never be sure of anything. Read More
Do you have a practice or philosophy by which you live? I do. I live by and practice the philosophies of A Course in Miracles (a spiritual psychotherapy) and Science of Mind (the teachings of Religious Science). One of the most influential, and one of my most revered Science of Mind ministers was Louise Hay.
During recent mediation and prayer time, which is also when I receive messages from my spirit collective, I was guided to Louise’s book, Heal Your Body, which is a quick reference guide to the Problem and Probable Mental Pattern behind dis-ease in your body.
Given our current state of affairs with COVID-19, I was not the least bit surprised when I was directed to explore the book for Viral Infections. This is what I found; Read More
It certainly makes a great deal of sense since that if viral infections are born out of bitterness, anger and lack of joy flowing throughout life, this virus is running rampant.
There has been so much bitterness and anger flowing throughout society for the past few years.
The joy which once freely flowed has been being slowly replaced by disappointment, annoyance and irritation, fueling anger and bitterness, wouldn’t you agree? And that has created a perfect, or ideal breeding ground for our current state of affairs. Read More
At a time when uncertainty and fear appear to be near all-consuming, many feel as if they have little if no control, on any outcomes. Although that may be the feeling, it could not be any further from the truth.
There are steps you can take to position yourself in control of your life and relieve some of your stress. Practicing kindness and compassion are on the top of the list – no one or no pandemic can strip that away. Loving one another and keeping in close contact with friends and family is another way and is guaranteed to nourish your soul. Holding a ‘best of possible outcomes’ vision in your mind’s eye and in your heart is a sure-fire way of contributing to the greater good. Choosing healthy foods will fortify your body and immune system.
This Spiritual Mind Treatment, as outlined in Dr. Ernest Holmes book, How to Change Your Life, can be recited and provide you with a positive sense of control and well-being; if practiced. Read More
There is déjà vu, there is jamais vu and there is even presque vu, but the best of all is “ancestry vu”. It is delightful when you experience déjà vu, jamais vu, or presque vu, however, nothing compares with ancestry vu; viewing a situation through the lenses and experiences of your loved ones in spirit.
Picture this: you are in the midst of a crisis, you’re not aware of how you arrived there, nor do you know where to turn. What you do know is you need answers, an understanding of what steps to take and you are feeling desperate, when out-of-the-blue one of your parents in spirit, steps forward and shines a light on the subject.
Do you find yourself waxing sentimental when the ‘season of love and giving’ comes rolling around each year? Are you missing that ‘someone special’ and feeling as if your holiday will be inconsequential, incomplete, without their presence?
My memories of holidays gone by are bittersweet. Christmas was my most joyful holiday until the year my mother, Leah, died. It was tough enough to deal with her death which was tragic and ‘out of the blue’, but having it occur two weeks before Christmas hit me hard. I can still to this day, hear her reminiscing about Christmas being ‘our’ favorite holiday.
The holidays are fast approaching and your ancestors and loved ones in spirit long to participate in your family gatherings. I am reminded time and time again of their need to be acknowledged and to be ‘a part of’.
They, your loved ones in spirit, strive to make a connection with you – some do, many do not. I give them credit because they never relinquish that ‘spirit’, they never give up trying. Take comfort in the knowing that they will never give up, no never –not until they connect and communicate with you.
I am also told you can make it a great deal easier for them to connect with you if you tune in and surrender your skepticism. Simply give the possibility of connecting a try. Read More
If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times.
What you focus on grows, and while there may be some truth to that, we offer this different perspective…
It has to do with getting out of your own way and allowing nature, our divine life force, our highest self, our intuition, or internal guiding system do her thing.
Do you think for one moment the tiny, infinitesimal seed focuses on expanding and pushing through the soil, to sprout and grow upward? Do you think it focuses on being the best damn petunia or tomato plant in the universes, or might it simply be following its innate calling? Stepping aside and allowing nature to do her thing?
Do you think the tiny embryo of a bird focuses on feathering out and cracking through that eggshell, to reach skyward and fly? Or does it simply trust its intuition and divine plan, its innate drive or predisposition to one day soar through the skies? Read More
