Inner Peace
Freedom from Ashes
Note: I debated whether or not posting this today was appropriate given the tragic shooting that took place in CO leaving 14 people dead (at latest count) and 50 injured. I decided it was indeed appropriate because this is an expression of how I was able to heal my own mind and live in peace […]
A Poem: Finding the Light Within
It’s been a long time (maybe 10 years) since I wrote a poem. This one just came to me as I was driving my boys to the playground on Saturday. I had to pull over to write it down. I finally have an internet connection at home (we lost our cable due to the bad […]
Perfect Storm
This weekend was truly a roller coaster ride…thrilling…scary…heart-pounding…and definitely had lots of ups and downs! Here’s the rundown of events and the lessons I learned from it all. Enjoy! In preparation for my husband being away for a week-long business trip, I went “big” grocery shopping on Friday so that I would have enough food for […]
Eternal Life, Part 2: My Path to Inner Peace
Earlier this week I shared my recent thoughts about immortality in a blog entitled “Eternal Life, Part 1“. I also mentioned I would follow up with “part 2” and share the ways in which I am reminding myself of our real home (Heaven) so that I don’t get caught up in what I see “in the world” on a daily […]
Being the Light
I feel SO good today! You know why? I am SO grateful for the greatest gift in the world…feeling perfect peace and love. I feel like I have new eyes, new ears, and a new mind (although I know that I have just uncovered what was there already, but was hidden behind my clouded perspective). It […]
The Power of Perception
Last night in my Foundations for Spiritual Living class, we spent a good amount of time discussing one of our assignments which was to select two articles – one that you perceived to be negative and another that you perceived to be positive. Each of us shared our interpretations of each of the articles and noticed our […]
Morning Worship
Most mornings I listen to some music to ground me and to remember who and Whose I am. This morning I had the urge to create a new station on Pandora for Rickie Byars Beckwith (Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith’s wife who is amazing and is full of the joy of the Spirit). After one of […]
Spirituality and Karma Yoga
I was so happy to hear Oprah and Deepak Chopra talking about Karma on Life Class last night! On Monday morning after meditation, the blog topic that came to me was “Karma Yoga”. At the time I just wrote it down, but I didn’t do anything with it all day and then I turn on Oprah’s Life Class […]
Powerful Interview w/ Iyanla Vanzant
I normally try to take a break from posting to the blog on the weekends, but this was absolutely worth sharing…especially while many of you have a moment to breathe. I listened to this interview with Iyanla Vanzant by Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith this evening and was really blessed and encouraged by it. It has some powerful […]
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 […]
