What happens in your heart when you simply state: “I am Light.”?

You are not trying to convince yourself, but to invite yourself home, to remember your deepest truth: “I am Light!”

Yet, sometimes the mind is so contracted with fear, doubt, anger or greed that the words seem hollow. Then it may […]

This Day’s Dawn

Those who are awake live in a constant state of amazement. ~ Jack Kornfield

This day’s dawn comes on the heels of a dark night. Actually, every day’s dawn does.

Last evening we took John to my primary. She agreed with the medicine list. She encouraged patience and confidence in the specialists he will […]

I Surrender

Entry from my journal: Tuesday, January 18, 2022 @ 3:37 am:

Dear Holy Spirit,

I am awake and in the TV room listening to Karen Drucker’s “I Surrender.”

I will surrender to my greatest highest good.

I will release every fear that’s in my way…

and I am grateful every moment of […]

Pondering Fathers

I cannot swear that Tami Simon, the founder of Sounds True, which produces Insights at the Edge had pondering fathers on her mind when she shared “Fierce Intimacy” with Terry Real. Now, I have to confess, I devoured two of Terry’s books — I Don’t Want to Talk about It : Overcoming the Secret […]

Many Happy Returns

“Whether we have happiness or not depends on the seeds in our consciousness. If our seeds of compassion, understanding, and love are strong, those qualities will be able to manifest in us. If the seeds of anger, hostility and sadness in us are strong, then we will experience much suffering. To understand someone, we […]

It’s Perfect!

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

~Antoine de St. Exupéry

Yesterday afternoon I attended Remembering Wholeness with The Mother, a divine feminine being channeled by Barbara Brodsky. The opening comments tied right in with a previous evening’s conversation about some ongoing pain. […]
