Free will presents the illusion of power The Supreme Being gave us free will—the opportunity to choose our own way of thinking and acting. The Great I Am doesn’t force us to seek the divine, but instead waits with patience for us to say, “I’m listening. Please guide me.” It can be monumentally difficult to [...]
Last month, I spoke at Carson City's A to Zen on "Ghosts and What They Teach Us About the Afterlife." In response to requests from out-of-town readers that I post one of my presentations online, I've uploaded this hour-long talk on my YouTube Channel. Yesterday's post notification failed, but it's live Due to technical [...]
When I was 20, I planned my entire life. I’d marry at 25, have my first child at 27 and my second at 29. Later, I’d own a successful public relations firm and easily juggle my blissful marriage and kind children. And that’s how it turned out. NOT! Instead, my life veered in directions I [...]
When a natural disaster occurs and it’s not in your region, you may feel guilt about enjoying your day. But miring yourself in depression and projecting your fears on an already-tragic situation won’t help anyone. Not those facing monumental challenges. And, it certainly won’t improve your well-being.

This is a continuation of last week's post. Tactic #2: Ego tricks you into thinking it’s furthering your spirituality. Earlier this year, I decided that if my book business didn’t break even by the end of this year, I would stop writing blogs, making presentations and considering new book concepts. I told myself that [...]
Our ego can expertly derail us from our spiritual path, but more alarming is that it can do this without us consciously being aware of it. What is ego? Ego feeds us misinformation such as we aren’t good enough, we’re better than others or we shouldn’t to listen to our intuition. When we heed [...]
As a Christian who celebrates the mystery of the Great I Am, I know the paranormal will always remain intertwined with my spiritual beliefs because ghosts were a catalyst in my growth, helping me discard limiting ideas and revealing the vastness of the sacred. Paranormal investigations opened my mind to the larger reality of [...]

The Milky Way is home to about 100 billion stars and only a fraction of those can be seen by the human eye. I believe that part of the reason we exist on earth is to recognize our worth and contribute to the well-being of our communities. We can be a beacon of light [...]
I inwardly cringe when someone says something can’t happen. Then, I really bite my tongue when a person declares what others believe in (because they disagree with it) is stupid. Unfortunately, I see this happen a great deal in the paranormal community. I’ve learned that anything is possible and it’s wrong to judge others just [...]
