I used to live life shackled by fear, doubt, and worry. I put on a happy face while navigating my day-to-day duties, but I was emotionally drained, stressed, and unhappy. When I hit rock bottom, and was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, I was determined to live life differently. I knew there had to be another way. Out of that determination, and guidance from Spirit, the "Living in the Light" blog was born. It documents my spiritual journey out of the darkness and into the Light. After nine months of publicly sharing my journey, and consciously releasing my attachment to the ego, I experienced a powerful spiritual awakening. I went from living in fear, doubt, worry, and stress to complete inner peace. My greatest passion has become assisting others on their own journey to inner peace.
My spiritual memoir, From Stress to Peace: An Intimate Journal on the Journey from Living in Darkness to Living in the Light, is available now on Amazon and BN.com. Click the tabs at the top of the page to learn more about the From Stress to Peace 21-Day Challenge, Living in the Light Retreats, 1:1 sessions, and the Living in the Light Community - all of which are designed to support your journey to inner peace. I appreciate you taking the time to visit the blog and look forward to supporting you in any way I can!
Judgment-Free Challenge
When I got serious about walking in integrity with my spiritual path, the most difficult habit for me to release was judgment of others. I frequently had thoughts about what others should and shouldn’t be doing, and I freely shared them with all who would listen. These thoughts and comments came to me just as […]
3 Tips for Awakening the Power Within
For many years, my spiritual “practice” consisted solely of attending church, reading inspirational books, and praying from time to time. While there is nothing wrong with these things, doing them alone did not make me feel any closer to God in my day-to-day experience. Let’s just say, I was far from seeing the Christ in […]
Sweet Surrender
Just when I thought I was close to releasing my attachment to the ego, it came back for a riveting encore performance. After months of blissful peace and awe-inspiring mystical experiences, I found myself getting agitated by things that hadn’t bothered me in quite some time. I felt fatigued, even though I was getting plenty of rest. […]
Clearing Negativity from Social Media
Time and time again, I hear people complain about negativity in their social media feeds. These rants typically include something like, “I need to clear some negative people from my friends list” or “Why do people post all of their business on Facebook and/or Twitter?” I used to find myself making these same comments, and […]
3 Tips for Breaking Free from the Opinions of Others
There are some people who say exactly what is on their mind in each moment. They do all the things that are on their heart to do, and fully express their deepest emotions to all they encounter without any worry about what they may think about them. They are completely authentic in every area of […]
Moving Beyond the Words: Experiencing God in Every Moment
For so many years, I read spiritual book after spiritual book. I was searching for the answers from the greatest Masters known to man as well as the sages of today. I thought that acquiring more knowledge would ultimately lead to a closer walk with God. If I could quote more of the scriptures and […]
3 Tips for Releasing Anger Quickly
Just over one year ago, I was harboring so much anger, resentment, self-hatred, guilt, frustration, and blame that I had an emotional breakdown. I was frustrated with work. I was annoyed with my son who was acting out on a regular basis. I was holding grudges against those who I felt wronged me in some […]
All Things are Possible With God
One of the lines I say most frequently is “All things are possible with God,” but do I really believe that in all areas of my life? I thought I did, until this past Friday. I received an important reminder that not only are “all things possible,” but also that I should never underestimate, or […]
Entering the Silence
Happy new year, everyone! It’s so good to be back to writing here again. As I mentioned in my last entry, I went on a 4 day/3 night silent meditation retreat to bring in the new year. It was so incredibly powerful that it’s worth spending this entire entry on it. After the retreat, I […]
