When you are on the threshold of making any decision, you may consult experts, friends, books, and Google. But don’t let your decision-making end there. For ultimately, the best decisions are those made in alignment with who you are and for that, you must consult the heart. The Heartmath Institute, a non-profit organization that researches […]
There’s one thing about guidance, it brings with it certainty. Even if you don’t like the answer you receive, even if it’s something about yourself you’d rather not see, you know it’s true. The rational mind will often try to talk us out of our truth by telling us what makes sense. But guidance often […]
I remember what a revelation it was to learn the heart doesn’t judge. Which meant anytime I found myself judging myself or others, I was not hearing my heart. Perhaps that should have seemed obvious, but for me, it provided a red flag to know if I was connected to my Higher Self. Of course, […]
In the field of quantum physics, they have a term they use when the energy is changing from one level of frequency to a higher level. It’s called turbulence. I love this term. It’s the exact same experience the birds have as they rise to the next airstream. They must experience some resistance as they […]

There have been several times in my life when I questioned God, how long until… I knew about the law of attraction. I knew about setting goals and visualization. I knew about affirmations. And I did those things. I went through the exercises and followed the rules, only to find the Universe cannot be manipulated […]

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, […]
Don’t you love the words, “let go”? They bring to mind that old commercial in the 80’s of the Nestle Tea plunge, where the guy falls backward into a pool of water with eyes closed and a big grin on his face. Totally trusting, totally carefree. And isn’t it interesting that we could all live […]
