Lately, I’ve found myself in a rut: I ruminate on what I lack in life. I see others on social media being active outdoors, going to concerts and plays, and spending time with friends and family. I’m sorry to admit that I envy them. I don't believe I'm alone feeling this way. No one’s life [...]
In this continuation of my last post, “The Divine places people in our lives for a reason,” I look at how those we perceive as negative have a purpose in our development as well. All of us have had relationships that feel combative, negative and discouraging. It has taken me decades to realize that [...]
Over the course of our lifetime, each of us will meet more than 10,000 people. At any specific point, people are strategically placed in our life for a divine reason. They have their part to play in our time here as we have a part to play in theirs. Like a spider’s web, our [...]
Each of us have been gifted with a unique set of blessings: assets and talents that bolster our lives. While it seems blessings are of a personal nature, we can increase the common good by sharing those gifts. Sharing strengthens our community, our world. By sharing our blessings (physical, emotional, spiritual or monetary) with others, [...]
Many of us struggle to love ourselves. We may feel we’re falling short of where we thought we’d be at this point in our lives; we may have different dreams than society wants us to focus on; or we’re so busy trying to make ourselves into what others want, it empties us inside. It’s easy [...]
Following my experiences at the haunted Goldfield Hotel (see “A Reluctant Spirit”), I realized that I’d always filled my space with noise. Music blared while I drove. And, when I’d arrived home, I’d turn on the radio or tv—even if I didn’t want to watch or listen to anything. Being in the quiet made [...]
It’s an illusion to believe we’re separate from nature. In our Modern Age, man has tricked himself into thinking we are above all life. But we cannot be above animals, as we are animals. Indigenous people see all creation as one. In the introduction to Episode 4 of “How to Change Your Mind,” Oglala [...]
Living in a physical realm, we believe all we see and feel. It’s easy to think this is all there is because we’ve forgotten what we are: souls, eternal spirits that choose to come to Earth. In this grand experiment of living in bodies, we experience monumental blessings. Our senses awaken to the joys [...]
Working on our spirituality feels like a singular path, a private journey to increase our contentment while better sensing the Supreme Being. What most of us don’t realize is that as we lift ourselves up, we also raise those around us. And, when enough of us seek the Most Divine, we contribute to the [...]
We are different today than we were the morning before. Each day, our experiences sculpt us: a small, daily evolution getting us closer to who we are meant to be. To have room for rebirth, though, we must experience small deaths: releases of the old that no longer serve us. This can happen when we [...]
