PRIORITIES How often do you take time to do nothing? Do you take time to pamper yourself, take a nap when you are tired or read a book for pleasure? Do you have quality time with your friends? Do you fill your days and nights with so many activities that you live on the edge of exhaustion? Are you pursuing your true desires and passions? Do you meditate and relax each day? Do you send gratitude and love to your Creator throughout the day? Do…

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE Try placing on a garment that is several sizes too small. You will feel very uncomfortable and eventually lose energy as the flow of blood is restricted. This is what happens on an energetic level when you restrict your energy flow by holding onto fears and old beliefs. Once you release them, the energy flows freely, allowing you to think more clearly and to make more creative and healthy choices. Beliefs are set up in moments that are emotionally…

THE PATH TO DIVINE LOVE Do you feel stuck when it comes to fully giving and receiving love? Have your past hurts caused to you to mistrust the motives of others? Do you tend to “people please” as a way to anchor love in a relationship? Take time each day to meditate upon the things you are doing or avoiding to do. Choose what you wish to experience and say, “no, thank you” to anything that leads away from your goals. With the help of…

SOUL CLEANSE It is imperative to clean out the cobwebs of negative thinking and close-mindedness. Start with the basement of your soul and work upward and outward to clear negative memories that keep you in fear and mistrust. Take time to go within and move into the deep cleaning process. As memories, habits and fears are uncovered, change the way you think and look at what is occurring around you. Make the necessary changes to live the life of your dreams. As your interior begins…

MONITOR YOUR THOUGHTS When you have fear or thoughts that disturb you, refocus to thoughts of hope and joy. If you live from the perspective “bad things always happen to me,” you keep yourself blinded from joy in the moment. Switch to the perspective of gratitude, no matter what happens. Look for the positive in each given situation. Take time to monitor your thoughts throughout the day. One way to get into the habit of monitoring your thoughts is to set a timer and let…

NEVER-ENDING JOURNEY 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…

BE JOY FULL! 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…

PERFECT IMPERFECTIONS Look into the mirror; what do you see? If you like your face, you will smile back at yourself. If you look at your face and notice what you consider to be imperfections, there will be no smile. Continue to look into the mirror until you can embrace your imperfections as perfection. Beauty truly is in the eyes of the beholder. Practice beholding everyone as an equal spiritual being, perfect in all ways. Observe nature in all its glory, noting how everything works…

USE TIME WISELY Discover the priorities in your life and use time wisely to fit what is important into your lifestyle. Begin to filter out relationships and events that drain your energy and expend your time. Balance the time and energy you offer in service to humanity. Make sure you take time for relaxation. Pay attention to idle words and what you do with your recreational time. It is not only what you do that is important, what you do not do can be of…

12 R’s LEADING TO SELF-FORGIVENESS Are you riddled with regret, guilt and shame for choices you have made? Do you plague your mind with thoughts of “If only, “ I shoulda...” “How could I be so stupid... so insensitive... so naive...?” The Bible reminds us that “We all sin and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Did you catch that? We ALL sin! Did you know that the word “sin” is an archery term? It means “to miss the mark.” There is…
