As spiritual as you try to be, unless you understand self-forgiveness, you’ll never allow your true worth. But here’s how to start.
A lot of times, we think of freedom as getting away from it all, going to the beach or mountains for a week and doing nothing. But that’s not really freedom, that’s called a break. Real freedom is when we can break free from our conditional habits and thoughts. Think about it, if we were […]
I used to think that if I were really doing this spirituality thing right, my life would be perfect – perfect home, perfect mate, perfect job, perfect bank account, perfect health – you get the picture. The truth is when I had my “perfect” life, it was anything but. Instead, I was anxious and unhappy, […]
As I slumped in my meditation chair, I asked, “How long, God? How long?” I’ve thrown this question out to the Universe many a times when discouragement, weariness, or the desire to run away has overtaken me. The “how long” meant how long till this vision of mine comes to fruition? How long do […]

When I first had the inspiration to start a tutoring business, and later, a spiritual coaching business, I had no idea where to begin. As I learned more, I became overwhelmed by all the hoops I’d need to jump through in order to make this thing happen. After which, I’d run for the nearest […]
It was one of the most difficult times in my life, relocating to South Carolina, feeling estranged from my husband, and working 14-hour days in a new school. Every day was a practice in faith. Small gifts of unexpected joy came from a cup of coffee, laughter with my students, and having a Unity […]
The difficult times we’ve lived through are not there to represent how hard life can be, but to show us the truth of our strength and our ability to know, “I’ll be okay.” Memories still surface of my own two by four experience on this path 14 years ago. My marriage was falling apart and […]
