Here’s a question for you: What’s the difference between assisting someone and helping someone? I’ve been thinking on this a bit and here’s what I’ve come up with. Help: I’m doing something for someone that I think they need: Assist: I’m doing something for someone because I was asked by that someone. In other words, …
Two months ago, I had a three-hour conversation with my daughter which significantly changed both of our lives. Move. We decided to move. Not down the block. Or across town. Nope. Our choice was halfway across the country. From Oregon to Oklahoma. We agreed to work toward being in a new location by the end …
Learning to live inside-out sounds a bit odd at first. Let me explain. I’ve been working with the Akashic Records for over 20 years and in that time, I’ve learned so much about myself. One of the biggest changes in my life has been what I call the shift to inside-out — instead of outside-in. …
When I was 12, when asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I knew instinctively what I wanted: Prince Charming on his white steed whisking me away. This response always got a laugh.
The Unasked Question :However, there is one question which cannot be answered within the Akashic Records. If the Receiver doesn’t ask the question, then there is no way to respond and remain in integrity with the process of the Akashic Record Reading. Just as you must wait to be asked to provide a Reading, it …
The Futility of Proving Your Worth: Trying to feel worthy of living is a constant push because rapid change has always been a part of life. What’s new in the last two months is the ability to predict into the future has compressed from one year to one day. This compression has a long list of …
Saturday, I went foraging. Not in a forest or along the side of a mountain. The grocery store. The one I’ve gone to for over twenty years. There was a new system. One door for exit, one for entry. Orange colored bubbles to stand on, 6 feet apart. Entry only allowed as someone exits. Everyone …
Connection is the Way Past Fear: What might be both obvious and obscured is answer for dealing with any type of fear. I am not independently wealthy and I am thinking neither are you. As the world dives into the dictum of social distancing, I find myself looking for ways to stay in contact and lean …
We live in a world of extraordinary shift and change. Literally, we are transmuting on all levels body, mind, heart, and soul. This change is the basis for the confusion we all feel and experience on a daily basis. Exiting stage left is old energy now departing. This departing energy has been based on the …
They gather me upThese treesThey gather me upTo mend my woundsAnd restore the depth of my soulTo the balance of me. They gather me upRoots and branchesTops and tipsBending to match the heightOf my heart in their presence. They gather meAs a prayer to the windAnd absolution to the soilAnd the moments of GraceWhich I …
My Mom and the Significance of Leap Day: looks into how simple associations between a daughter and her mother push at the daugher’s self-belief. I am very happy with the fact that most people can’t tell my age correctly. Most are off by at least ten years and often fifteen. Especially when they might realize …
Today I have been thinking about how resistance is course correction. When I ran into resistance, I used to think I had done something wrong. That I had missed the turn. That if I had been paying better attention I would have gotten it “right.” Resistance felt like failure. However, thinking of resistance as course …
I am a Work in Progress explores the process of the inner landscape and how one can step through the ups and downs of personal growth. Today I feel myself dealing with my sense of status quo, what’s “normal” or “average” and feeling like I don’t want to be bound by any of it. Nothing …
Balance Is. This is one of the most powerful ideas from my Akashic Records. Balance is not something you have to push hard to make happen. Instead, stop. Take a step back. Assess. Where is balance in this moment? Something may need to be let go. Something else may require the realization that expectation is …
The Pause Before What Is — an article which steps the reader through a personal process of spiritual practice. To go along with the written article, you may also listen to the article. What. Is. Two words. Simple on the surface. Complex at the base of the iceberg. Pay attention to What Is. Okay – …
Instead of circling, I need to step in, commit, and give connection my best shot with all of me present, willing, and open. Stepping in is commitment. Stepping in is not just a big toe in the water; stepping in is commitment to the flow of your river of life. Say a wholehearted, Yes! Give …
At a crossroads, choice seems apparent: left, right, straight. Sometimes life is that clear-cut. At the crossroads, feel into your truth, choose, and allow your life to move on. However, there are moments where no matter the logic of the moment nor the feeling in your gut, nothing helps you discern your truthful choice. The …
As self-trust builds, and inner truth begins to speak with a louder and clearer voice; you can turn from the outer master to your inner master. The inner master is the empowered voice of your true self, clearly connected to the voice of your truth. As trust builds, you build confidence in following your inner …
Simply, spiritual practice is a journey of truth: to find truth within yourself, with the people around you, and in the events forming your life. Spiritual practice can look like meditating or chanting, going to church, the mosque, or the temple. Spiritual practice includes prayer and song, yoga and dance. Spiritual practice can also include …
No single breath can be until you decide to engage with the universe. This breath is you stepping into the creative motion of the divine. This breath is you responding to the deepest urges to become an active part of All That Is. Yes, this breath is a physical requirement. But this breath is not …
