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!
From Stress to Peace: 3 Simple Tips for Daily Living
The chorus from the song “Respiration” by Blackstar came to mind this morning as I had a flashback to the cycle of stress I was trapped in just one year ago. I used to go to sleep and wake up with so much on my mind that it was hard for me to focus throughout […]
A Lesson from the Ancestors
Over the past couple weeks, I have felt overwelmed by the Spirit of the ancestors. Almost daily, information has been rushing my way that led me to revisit some of the earlier historical appearances of the spiritual principles that have become so mainstream. The information that I was guided to review was primarily focused on Ancient Kemetic (Egyptian) Spirituality and African-American spirituality during slavery and the […]
I Want to be More Loving in My Heart
I’ve been wanting to share a poem with you since early last week, but I never got around to posting it. Last night, I got the funniest reminder to do so. I was driving my 3-year-old home from school and he said, “Mommy, what do you want to be when you grow up?” I said, […]
Don’t Worry, Be Happy
This will be a short entry, but I just HAD to share this funny story. On Monday morning, I was getting my boys ready for school and they started fighting over who would get to the sink first to brush their teeth. Normally I would have responded with a comment like, “No fighting, boys! Be […]
The Fastest Way to Peace
Yesterday, I was doing some reflecting on the path to peace. I was pondering my own path, and thinking about friends and family that are currently struggling with finding peace in the various situations they are facing. After morning meditation, I posted the following on the “Living in the Light” Facebook page: The peace of God […]
Trying to Fly With One Wing
It’s been a while since I wrote about messages I received via animals or insects. The last couple times, I received a powerful message about my true Self via a bee, and a reminder to “let go and let God” from a ladybug. Every time I notice these messages, it’s at a moment when I’m feeling […]
The Power of Choice
Over the past week, a message kept being sent to me through different people, situations, and even dreams. I didn’t recognize the central theme at first, but looking back at my journal entries for the past few weeks, I can see that each of the forms in which the message was revealed to me were […]
A Gentle Reminder to Look Inside
There are lessons in spiritual truth everywhere…even at the car dealership! After my car accidents, which I wrote about here, I had to find a car quickly to replace one of our two totaled cars. In the past, I may have looked for the most attractive and flashy looking car that I felt fit with the image […]
What Did I Do To Deserve This?
What did I do to deserve this? That is a question that plagues many of us when the worst happens in our lives. It’s a question that, I hate to admit, crossed my mind just last week, and during portions of this week. On Friday of last week, I wrote briefly on my blog Facebook […]
Calm in the Storm
Have you ever seen someone totally lose their cool in public? Have you ever felt a slight twinge of embarrassment for that person because you thought they were making a fool of themselves in public? Okay, we all have. In fact, some of us have been that person a time or two (just me?). In the […]
