    Not a Coincidence

    Learning to trust my intuition has been a challenge for me.  I second-guess my self on a regular basis.  After so many years of doing this work and seeing alignment, this continues to be an area of struggle for me.  One of my affirmations for the past month or so has been … My intuition is strong and accurate. I don’t believe in coincidence, I fully acknowledge the synchronicity of things showing up in our lives … signs, symbols, omens.  For the past couple of weeks, my guides have been working overtime to help me trust my intuition. I journal almost every day as part of my morning ritual.  I…

    Angel Wings & Essential Oils

    My family has used essential oils (EO) on and off for about 30 years … my mom got us started a LONG time ago.  I used them often when she was alive, but when she died about 12 years ago, none of the rest of us really picked up on it.  I think my niece got her oils, I got a book or two … but we never really did anything with it. A couple of years ago, I went back to school for my massage therapy license and decided I wanted to incorporate some EO basics into my sessions.  I picked up some of my favorites and started doing…

    The Denim Shirt

    It was early morning and I was in the kitchen waiting for the Keurig to finish brewing my cup of coffee.  My daughter and granddaughter live with me, and I knew my daughter was also awake.  I caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of my eye and started talking to my daughter about what we had going on that day.  But I didn’t get an answer. I turned and looked for the light blue shirt  I’d seen just a minute before.  I even looked around the corner of the kitchen into the living room.  But there was nothing.  I went to my daughter’s room and she was…

    Just Ask

    You know, we’re typically conditioned from childhood to do things for ourselves and that asking for help is a sign of weakness and should only be a last-ditch measure.  I’m not sure this holds true in the real world but it’s definitely not the way the spirit world wants us to operate. Our angels and guides are always there for us.  They are waiting to help us in every situation.  But they can only help when we invite them as they cannot impose upon our “free will”.  I am so conditioned to “go it alone” that I don’t even remember to ask the angels for help until I’m pretty damn…

    Religion and Fear

    After a couple of discussions with people yesterday, I realized that something I thought was basic, fundamental knowledge … isn’t. Folks … Muslim is a religion (like Christianity, Buddhism, Jewish, and many others). Muslim is NOT a country where someone lives (like the US, Columbia, Egypt, India) and it is not a continent (like North American, Africa, Asia). Our country (I live in the US) is founded on religious freedom … the Puritans came here to escape the declared religious authority of their motherland … people were being killed because they refused to align with the country’s “declared” religion.

    Are You Wearing a Costume?

    Have you forgotten who you are?  Are you covered in costumes which you’ve worn for the benefit of others?  And to protect yourself from the hurtfulness of those who didn’t understand you?  Maybe it’s time to cast them all aside and simply be yourself.  The self who came to this world – this temporary life – with a specific message.  You don’t even need to know what that “message” is.  For you see … YOU are the message and simply being yourself is more than enough. No one carries the exact same message … although you will find some which are similar.  These are your companions for the current journey.…
