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!
Jesus – The Wayshower
If I only read one bible verse in life, the most life changing for me has been “The kingdom of God is within you”…that is SO powerful! I have heard it over and over throughout my years, but it is resonating with me on a whole different level as I go through this transformation and […]
5-Minute Meditation
I’ve recently been asked a lot about meditation. The main question has been about know how I clear my mind from all of the thoughts and stresses of the day. There are a number of meditation methods, so it’s important to find out what works best for you. I have tried a number of techniques, […]
Love is Always the Answer
On this anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr (4/4/68), I am renewing my commitment to living in the light. I saw this message to Iran from Israel this morning and teared up (it doesn’t take much for me) – they were stressing that while their leadership may be promoting hate and fear, they had nothing but love in […]
Just Do It!
I woke up this morning thinking about how good it feels to move from theory to practice, then I logged into Facebook and the first thing I saw was this quote. “Your beliefs don’t make you a better person, your behavior does” ~Anonymous PRECISELY! I just started a 7-week spiritual bootcamp that’s focused on helping […]
Be a Rainbow in Someone Else’s Cloud
I used to think that in order to continue to progress on my spiritual journey, I would have to release the “negative people” in my life. I wanted to surround myself only with people who were positive and weren’t going to bring my mood down. Well, there have been a few messages that have come […]
Straight, No Chaser…With Love
I had the pleasure of attending a seminar a couple weeks ago featuring one of my all-time favorite authors and spiritual teachers, Marianne Williamson. The title of the seminar was “Transforming Ourselves, Transforming Our World”. As always, she said SO many things that resonated with my desire to be more loving and peaceful in my daily […]
Releasing Attachments
In order to stay on the path to “living in the light“, I knew there were going to be some things I would have to let go of. I spent some time, while on my personal retreat, writing down everything I was attached to in any way. During this exercise, I was reminded of the Buddhist quote […]
The Opposite of Complaining is Gratitude
After my personal retreat, I was determined to maintain the peace of mind that I was experiencing. I went deep into meditation, spiritual readings, audiobooks, therapy, and anything else I could find that would help me stay focused. One of the things I couldn’t shake was the negative thoughts I was having about people or situations […]
Personal Retreat
The personal retreat that restored my soul… After my breakdown, I knew it was time for me to finally take a personal retreat. I was shocked when I paused to look back over the last 14 years (my entire adult life) and realized I had never taken a vacation all by myself. The exception to this was when […]
Living in the Light
This blog idea came to me during meditation this morning. I suddenly felt compelled to share my journey to authenticity and peace of mind with the world. A little history… The past 6 months have been some of the most trying in my life. I got pneumonia in October of 2011 and was hospitalized for […]
