Turn the Other Cheek
August 25, 2021 |
We’ve all experienced having someone attack us in a way that seems completely unjustified. The temptation is to defend and/or retaliate. What if instead of either of those choices were to see the attack as a cry for Love? What...

Giving UP Resistance
August 23, 2021 |

Drinking Poison

People are acting crazy right now and it’s SO important that we have compassion for them rather than judge them. Having compassion for people isn’t just doing them a favor. It’s doing ourselves a favor too. When we judge other...

Living A Guided Life
August 17, 2021 |
People often tell me that they don’t receive guidance from Spirit that they can recognize and it’s frustrating for them. First, we don’t receive guidance we recognize largely because we don’t want to “hear” it. We don’t wish to be...

Power of Forgiveness
August 16, 2021 |
I’m amazed at how the most stinging, gut wrenching hurts can dissolve into the past when we practice true forgiveness. Without the TRUE forgiveness they can become open, festering wounds that get painfully poked at the worst possible times. It’s...

Consistently Loving
August 11, 2021 |
I don’t think there’s been anyone in my immediate family who has been as hostile, petulant, judgmental, passive-aggressive or down right mean as I have. I used to be utterly obnoxious at times. I would lose control and behave like...

Eradicate Self-Doubt
July 31, 2021 |
Many have a tendency to second guess and doubt themselves. When we doubt whether or not we can succeed then our trust and faith is not in Spirit, but in our own abilities. When I’m relying only upon my...

Letting Go of False Idols
July 20, 2021 |
False idols are the things that we’ve made more important than God. For some it’s their body, for some it’s their work, their children, their pets, their home. It could be anything at all. A Course in Miracles tells us...
