Do you feel stuck when it comes to fully giving and receiving love? Have your past hurts caused you to mistrust the motives of others?

Choose what you wish to experience and say, “no, thank you” to anything that leads away from your goals. With the help of your Inner Spirit, which is your…

Have you discovered the bonds that material objects hold on you? Take stock of how much time, money and energy is needed to purchase, maintain and replace the physical items you have amassed. How many of these items brought you true joy? How long did that joy last before you were online shopping for something else to fulfill your desire? Take notice of the people that you associate with. Do you bring joy to each other? When you expect something in return for your efforts,…

Even in your darkest hours, there are lessons to be learned. Reflect on what is occurring in your life now and in past situations that were challenging for you. What were some of the positive outcomes that came from past scenarios? Perhaps you were in a job you didn’t enjoy. One day you were fired; you felt angry, embarrassed, you developed an attitude of why did this happen to me? Yet now you are in a job that you enjoy. It was the letting go…

The following are not idle words... but an invitation with a promise. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 Will you accept the invitation? I did and all heaven broke loose!  

When you feel emotions such as anger, fear or frustration, they are often the result of unresolved issues. Like a mirror, other people and events trigger memories of a past experience which was too painful to deal with when it first occurred. Your senses also bring up emotional issues from the past. Looking at photographs, scents, songs, certain objects and foods all have the ability to instantly take you back to a memory, sometimes one that has been deeply locked away for years. If the…

There is an adage that says, “As above, so below.” There is another that is equally true, “Go within, or go without.” As you look at yourself in the mirror, pay close attention to every detail of the way you present yourself to others. Starting from head to toe, look at everything: your hair (or lack of hair), make-up (or lack of make-up), jewelry, why you do or do not shave various parts of your body, tattoos, nails (manicured or not, painted or unpainted), perfume…

Celebrate yourself and connect with your Inner Spirit, at your heart center. Allow gratitude and blessings to flow freely through you. Maintain positive thoughts.

Go forth today, shining your light of love from within and outward to all that you encounter. Be grateful for every opportunity that arises, looking for the good in all things. Some experiences may be harder to…

Much emphasis is placed on words which often results in misunderstandings. Little notice is given to body language or unspoken words. This is more pronounced when communicating through electronic devices. To be a more effective communicator, T.H.I.N.K. before you speak, ask yourself: T: Is it the right Time? H: Is it Honest? I: Is it about “I, I, I” (your ego)? N: Is it Necessary? K: Is it Kind? Practice using these filters before you speak. As you master this skill, you will find that…

Relinquish the need to change others. Focus your attention inward, on changing your attitude and beliefs. Once you are in control of your emotions and responses, you will have less need and desire to change others. The goal is to love freely, without judging others. No one knows the full background circumstances that have led a person toward being grouchy, mean or evil. Go within and work on your ability to love others unconditionally. In the beginning, especially with difficult relationships, this may seem impossible.…
