When I’m at peace, I find each day brings me a small present, one that further boosts my gratitude and infuses additional joy into my routine. It could take the form of someone appreciating my work, or me witnessing a dazzling sunrise, encountering wildlife or laughing heartily with loved ones. Unfortunately, I’m not at peace [...]
Thanks to regular reader Kristin for suggesting this post. Can the acts of creating and inventing be divinely inspired and is it very common? I believe the answer is “yes.” For me, there’s no doubt A Reluctant Spirit’s wording was sent from above to me. As most of you know, I spent a year trying [...]
Repeatedly, readers share stories with me about others denigrating their beliefs—some to the point of condemnation by loved ones and fellow parishioners. Many of us have been there, losing confidence in our role on Earth and, even worse, questioning our worthiness of Divine Love. I’ve been told I can’t be Christian. That I’m corrupting others. [...]
For me, a frustrating aspect of being chronically ill for years was when friends and doctors told me to give up hope that I’d ever get better because I was priming myself for failure. Well, for those who read my blog and have read “A Reluctant Spirit,” you know I had the last laugh on [...]
Thank you to regular reader Bernadette for requesting this topic. At one time, I’d thought being a good Christian meant I needed to attend church every Sunday. But when I fell devastatingly ill with chronic fatigue syndrome and post-viral neurasthenia in 1989, I became too weak to attend services. As a result, I increased my [...]
I used to view people who had different spiritual beliefs with skepticism and fear. I kept to my own kind—because I thought everyone else was going to hell. Then a realization occurred to me: I recognized my behavior as bigotry. And, it startled me. That was in 1989 while I was on a safari [...]
To learn how to clear your personal space, see last week’s post “Clearing Your Space and Removing Stagnate Energy.” From time to time, people contact me about unnerving ghostly activity in their homes or offices and ask for advice on how to make it stop. Here’s what I share with them: First, I ask, “Are [...]
Curiosity. Consistent crankiness. Living in fear. A string of minor ailments. These can be indications of a need to clear your personal space. Whether you’ve picked up another person’s or spirit’s energy or you’ve just let yourself stagnate, it’s a good idea to cleanse yourself and/or your home. First of all, it’s important that [...]
I gave my first hour-long spirituality talk at the request of a shop owner who wanted to hear how my Christian beliefs evolved after I encountered other-worldly activity at the Goldfield Hotel. At the beginning of my talk I stated my goal was for others to find their own spiritual path. So a few minutes [...]
Recently, a good friend of mine asked me to sit in the ICU waiting room with her while she awaited the outcome of her loved one’s surgery. She told me, “I wanted you here because God listens to you and he doesn’t listen to me.” This is so sad. And so wrong. I don’t have [...]
