September 7, 2025 - Buried Treasures
There is so much movement happening in the collective consciousness and many are struggling with the delineation of their True Selves because more often than not, it requires temporary discomfort. Digging deep, digging deeper, and unearthing long forgotten blockages in order to discover the treasures within can be an unsettling task for creatures of habit and comfort. When we desire to grow but continue to rely heavily on our egos and external acceptance and validation, we are likely to betray our hearts by harboring and projecting residual energy that needs to be acknowledged and lovingly released. To add to Robert Frost’s quote, “the only way out is through,” the only way through is with truth. The choice is ours to make as individual reflections of the All. So whether we choose to soar or slumber, there is still honor in undiluted honesty.
Personal growth and spiritual evolution in a lifetime are not requirements. They are fulfillments. The experience of contrast compels us to move, and our most prominent inner voice informs our actions. When we place fear based conditions and limits on our own potential our pseudo selves find satisfaction while a lingering ache persists in the soul.
September 4, 2025 - Refuge
Feeling safe is the foundation for making heart centered, self-affirming decisions. It is not a luxury, but a necessity that can be easily undermined by unresolved pain. We liberate ourselves, mind, body and spirit by releasing trauma as an act of love and refusing to close. While pain serves a noble purpose, it is not intended to be permanent. The Higher Self seeks alignment with growth and speaks the language of the heart. S/he leads with integrity, moves with intention and even on dark days, never loses sight of the horizon. The potential for peace, joy and wonder in our lives is as vast as the open sky. Opening up to life's fullness is where we discover unlikely shelter.
FREEDOM DECLARATION:
I am redeemed and renewed, and my life is in divine order.
September 2, 2025 - Losing to Win
Seems like every day there is another headliner about artificial intelligence and the potential it has to upset industries and threaten the livelihood of people. As more companies make the choice to replace humans with technology, people are finding themselves at a loss for where to go, what to do next and how to make ends meet. While no one has all the answers to such a complex dilemma, we are being called to consider a beautiful opportunity that is emerging—one that will surely be missed without awakened insight:
Our souls are here to discover the enormity and power of love, and losing ourselves in the rat race of existing has limited our ability to experience the ecstacy of truly living. What we may lose pales in comparison to the potential we have to rediscover what matters through human connection, cooperation and creativity. Give your passions a place at the center of life. Give the dreams that were never pursued and idealistic desires roots to grow. They are the seeds of higher purpose. People need people, perhaps now more than ever before. This is our nature, and technology cannot change that. If allowed, all it can do is temporarily distort our perception of the truth. Whatever falls apart is divinely orchestrated. Anything that crumbles makes way for fresh new energy and opportunities to go All In.
August 31, 2025 - Life By Design
Sometimes the things that are meant for us to have or experience in a lifetime are held up in the ethers until we are fully ready to receive them. At other times, they are delayed until we are ready to be received and oftentimes, both apply. In any case, focusing on the beauty of life and our relationship with it tempers our longing by connecting us to the gifts before us until we are healed, open to the newness that an unchained life brings and compelled to leap. Life is a poetic dance of entanglements that need less of our control and more of our alignment and trust. All of our experiences—the perceived good and bad—are holy preparation. This awareness illuminates holding patterns. …So in the meantime, give this day to love. Give the hour to gratitude. Give each moment to grace and proceed with joyful expectation. Divine timing never disappoints.
August 28, 2025 - Abide A While
The more busy we are doing life, the less time we have to be life. In this context being is giving ourselves quiet time each day to observe, listen and allow life to unfold in a space that is free of specific agendas, distractions and interferences. Thoughts and emotions may come and go in this space because without our resistance, they are safe to do so. Ideas and inspiration may spring forth from this space because our stillness readies us to receive them. The truth of our divinity reveals itself in moments when we turn our focus inward because we are connecting to the Source of life that existed before it could be denied—Love.
Modern life isn’t designed for such self-inquiry because it has the potential to disrupt systems that bind us to the density of chaos and confusion. Stillness is space that we must create for ourselves. Perhaps it begins with time set aside every morning or a silent midday break and expands from there. Depending on how much we are willing to quiet our minds, the possibility of inner peace is always present. There is a depth of inner stillness where even silence has a sound. Enter that gate and abide a while, and soon you will hear the joyful chatter of heaven.
August 24, 2025 - Clarity of Being
Mirrors play a peculiar role in our lives. Much of our time in front of them is spent analyzing details, negotiating with our bodies, and adjusting this and that—all for the sake of acceptance according to how we believe we are perceived. When we are pleased with what we see in our reflection we walk a little taller, and when we are displeased, we shrink a little energetically and maybe even physically. What if we spent an equal amount of time and energy observing and nurturing our inner selves? This non-physical aspect is of vital importance because we each hold the key that unlocks unconditional self-acceptance and love, and this is a union that is unshakable. It is the foundation of who we are. Fleeting standards and external judgements will always be skewed according to their vantage point. The clarity of our own lenses is what truly matters, and our mirrors can also serve as powerful gateways to remembrance. Gaze deeply into your own eyes. Allow whatever emerges the grace and space to flow and depart. Stay there until you see love and can proclaim it with passion.
August 23, 2025 - Nature's Self-Care Essentials
Sometimes the adjustments needed to make the most profound positive impact on our lives are hidden in plain sight. With careful observation of nature, you’ll notice how pure and simple life can be when it comes to ensuring that our needs are met and our souls are at peace. The six daily habits described below can easily be witnessed among all life forms. One might argue that the path to our personal liberation is much more complex and layered, and they wouldn't be wrong because collective energy is immensely powerful. We create and cosign on our reality with the choices we make each day. This is why all noteworthy change must begin first within the Self. Be encouraged and empowered to make the following adjustments to acknowledge the wholeness and holiness of your being:
1. Honor yourself always. Your truth is every single detail that makes you unique, and your authenticity makes the world brighter and more colorful.
2. Be patient with yourself. For all things there is a season. You are the miracle of the moment and your dance with life is sacred.
3. Lead with your heart. It is your most powerful navigation tool and the source of your eternal glow.
4. Trust yourself. Believe in you and invest fully in your journey. Remember that cynics are powerless without your permission, and nature’s timing is impeccable.
5. Rest when you are weary. There is an undeniable inner knowing, wisdom and self-affirming power that is harnessed during periods of rest and reflection.
6. Surrender when your work is done. Resisting natural rhythms and cycles binds us to the trappings of the ego and is counterproductive to our souls’ evolution.
FREEDOM DECLARATIONS:
I honor and respect the holy temple that houses my spirit.
I navigate life with ease, and life responds with grace.
August 22, 2025 - Ease & Flow
Depending on the circumstances, emptiness can be overwhelming. When this is the case, a common response is to activate go mode in order to refill, restore, reset, rebuild and renew. When we cannot do this, anxiety creeps in. As much as these situations are obstacles to overcome, they are also invitations to expand our awareness. Not only are we here to create reality through our own efforts, we are also here to receive by fine tuning our thoughts and in some cases quieting them to accommodate our needs and desires, then trusting life’s unfolding—even when we cannot see the full picture. In this sense it’s like watching a highly anticipated movie. No one wants the ending to be revealed before it’s time, and we know and accept that we have no control over how it occurs. We instead flow with the momentum that is embedded in the story as artistic expression. Empty in any way is so much more than a void. It is evidence of our aliveness on a frequency that is ripe with potential.
August 20, 2025 - Favorful
There is an outpouring of compassion and grace that moves so tirelessly in our lives. It is elusive, yet deeply felt when we tune in. When we are weak, it carries us. When we are weary, it enlivens us. When we falter, it embraces us. And as if that isn’t enough, this miraculous unfolding is also a feast for the senses. See it in the glory of sunrise and the grandeur of the horizon. Feel it as the seasons change and awaken us to new bounty, then taste it in new harvests. Hear it in the song bird’s melody and the whistling of the wind. Know that you are fully deserving of life’s sweetness, and joyfully pay it forward.
August 19, 2025 - Timeless
The One in the mirror is only the front entrance. The most captivating and memorable features of a garden are tenderly cultivated beyond its gates.
Remember that you are love and care for yourself with unyielding devotion. Extend kindness and compassion to others and discover a radiance that is untouched by time.
August 18, 2025 - Perspective
Glorious is the day that is met with a joyful heart.
Glorious is the day that is met with a fearful and unsettled mind.
Glorious always is the day. Inner peace readies us to recognize and receive it.
August 16, 2025 - Simply, Truly
Nature has a glorious rhythm, and thus so do we.
Nature is uncompromising in upholding its rhythm, as we should be.
When nature’s rhythm is unsettled, its disturbance is deeply felt.
So many of the answers we are seeking are fittingly wrapped in simplicity.
What can you weed out and what can you plant that will lead to your remembrance and return?
August 15, 2025 - The Storm's Eye
Feeling a sense of personal freedom doesn’t free us of our problems. It instead enables us to address them from a place of emotional balance and mental agility. It is a state of awareness that gives us the capacity to discern when and how to move or whether to move at all, based upon how we ultimately want to feel. The more we invite in stillness of mind with a daily practice, the easier it becomes to respond with clarity when challenges arise, rather than react with abrasiveness and resistance.
The impermanence of life is an eloquent reminder that our troubles are also temporary. If and when you find yourself caught up in a personal storm, remember that it is always possible to navigate it from the eye.
(1) Begin by connecting and reconnecting to the breath. In a remarkable way, it helps to moderate impulsivity and it creates a clearing where empowering thoughts and heart-centered solutions can enter.
(2) Move with integrity. Say no to the ego’s demands to fix things by any means necessary. Act when it feels aligned with the inner stillness you make space for in your daily practice.
(3) Observe from the still point. There the view is broader than what we can see from the surface because we are connected to a greater intelligence.
When all is said and done, we are encouraged to “be still and know.” While sometimes circumstances leave us feeling isolated and paralyzed with uncertainty, we are never alone. Find peace in the knowing that even if things fall apart, they are really coming together.
August 14, 2025 - Letting Go
When the dust has settled, the tide has receded, the wind and rain have subsided, and the snow and ice have melted, we are no longer focused on the gravity of storms. Instead, we faithfully pursue harmony and balance. The storms of life are only temporary when we allow them to rest. With mindful awareness, today’s joy has infinite potential.
August 13, 2025 - Golden
If you have ever had a personal encounter with someone who has a heart of gold, you will likely never forget them…and if you do, their essence will linger. This is not by coincidence. Hearts have the ability to speak without ever uttering a single word. Open hearts are like open invitations to dwell in the center of joy and peace. Even when the invitation is declined, the imprint endures. Wherever and whenever hearts are fully activated, love will prevail over superficial differences and the languages that articulate it. In order to fully recognize love’s presence and feel it deeply, love within our own hearts must be felt completely. Please do not wait to be told or even shown. Every breath we take and every experience of grace are the keys to our knowing. Our love for one another sweetens life by affirming evidence that is indisputable.
August 12, 2025 - Weight Lifting
Perhaps we have evolved to become really good at holding heavy mental and emotional weight, but that doesn’t mean we should. Like anything else, trauma is energy, and the more negative energy we hold on to the larger the surplus grows. When our psyches can no longer hold it, it spills over and permeates the body, ripening conditions for dis-ease. So how do we know we’re holding energy that needs to be released? If it triggers harsh emotions and/or physical sensations as if it happened yesterday, or if we place limits on ourselves based upon past events, then that energy is still very much alive and active today and we have unintentionally given it a dwelling place in us. Burying what we don’t want to face is often mistaken for “putting it to rest” when in reality we’ve given it a cozy home. There are many approaches that can help us release the weight. Here are two straight forward, self-empowering strategies worth considering to initiate the process:
- Give it life. Seems counterintuitive but it’s already alive in us. In this way, we are acknowledging it as a primer for release. Speak it, write it, or perhaps even create with it. This can be taken a step further by burning what was written and releasing the ashes to the wind and/or planting something that represents new life. This initiates the process of alchemizing pain into power.
- Give it wings. We are also energy, and we have the same command over our spiritual selves as we do our physical bodies. Declare yourself free of anything that no longer exists, including memories that hold you hostage and rob you of the gift of today. If forgiving someone is necessary, see them as assistants who were committed to your soul's evolution. If forgiving yourself is needed, honor yourself for the noble work you have chosen to do.
Our minds are incredibly resilient and resistant, so repeat this two step practice as often as needed, until what was once encapsulated for protection fuels liberation. It is especially powerful when we discover that trauma dates back to childhood because we are giving that child the voice and emotional agency that they always needed. When memories no longer incite fear (shame, rage, despair, guilt, etc.) and instead become the keys to your empowerment, you have successfully reclaimed the rights to your inner sanctuary. Life's beauty and wonder is better seen and felt when there is nothing that prevents us from basking in it.
FREEDOM DECLARATION:
I am redeemed and renewed, and my life is in divine order.
...All is well.
August 11, 2025 - Becoming
In times of upheaval and turmoil, most of us vehemently resist. Makes sense given that our nervous systems need harmony so we feel safe and secure...but sometimes resistance prolongs suffering and fuels the imbalance. Developing a daily mindfulness practice helps to alleviate stress when life presents obstacles and challenges. It doesn’t really matter what the practice is, as long as it anchors us in presence and gratitude. When life gets hectic, inner stillness tempers the current. With ease, we become the flow—every breath solidifies the rhythm. With pure presence we become the wonderful essence that endures in spite of the weather. There are countless variations of ourselves that we can be, but life feels more like an embrace when we become peace.
August 10, 2025 - Renewal
At the core we are love but our interface with life doesn’t always reflect it, and that’s okay. There are points of awareness that we discover about ourselves when we explore the full range of possibilities, and triggering life experiences provide us with valuable feedback direct from the soul. They also remind us that there is always inner work to be done to remain balanced. The more we consciously choose love, the quicker we can recognize when fear is creeping in. The more we feel into love, the more we crave the comfort that it brings. Indeed, life happens. …But when life happens to us, joy and peace require specific conditions. When love happens to life, joy and peace are the foundation. We are choosing in every moment, what shapes our reality. Trust the sensations that are deeply pleasing. They are messages from our truest selves.
August 9, 2025 - For Love's Sake
Consider that the potentially of everything--darkness and light, good and evil--lives within us all. Beyond overt deeds, this is evident in the thoughts that no one else hears and the exploits carried out behind cloak and mask. No self-righteous sinner can avoid the absolute. This inner sight frees us to see others through lenses of compassion, to honor our hearts through forgiveness, to extend grace and lean wholeheartedly into love. Even from a healthy distance we can find refuge in the energy of love. It feels so much better than hate in the name of self-righteousness.
August 8, 2025 - Honest and True
Our lives are stories within a Great Story, and we spend much of our time crafting them by working feverishly for what we want and adamantly resisting what we don’t want. To worry less and discover more ease and joy, simplicity is key: When your heart is open, your intentions are pure and your deeds are honest, let your mind rest there. Anguish thrives on fear and uncertainty. Peace prevails in the midst of all doubt and marvels at the unfolding of the mystery.
August 7, 2025 - Loving You
There is a great deal of emphasis on self-love as of late. This is a noteworthy sign of progress in the collective consciousness as we awaken to the insight that it is impossible to freely give to others what we do not fully possess. With this, there is also a caution: Get to know, love, respect and appreciate the unfiltered, undiluted, pure Self. Give grace to every detail and every lesson that ignites renewal and rebirth. Otherwise, we risk mistaking borrowed personas and superficial changes for self-love. Rather than projects to be managed, we are souls to be seen and held close. When this awareness becomes the foundation of who we are, fear of missing out or not being accepted as we are dissipates. Then the choices we make are tempered with unconditional love and rooted in compassion for the whole being.
Let your love for Self be as sincere and comforting as the morning sun. Even on the days when it is shrouded in heavy clouds of doubt, it still burns in the background in honor of our sacred presence.
FREEDOM DECLARATIONS:
I am lovable in every way.
I accept and appreciate every detail of my journey.
August 6, 2025 - The Light Side
There is a playfulness to life that the majority can hardly fathom or feel because of the survival of the fittest system that has been adopted as normal. In this oppressive state, lightheartedness and ease are perceived by many to be annoyances or even weaknesses. Consider that some of the happiest people in the world live the simplest lives without denying themselves of the passion that life brings. While we may not be able to reform systems overnight, we have full control over our own approach to living, even in times of upheaval and uncertainty. The honest feelings we would allow to flow, the gracious words we would speak and the compassionate deeds that would come naturally if we were not afraid of being seen and heard or labeled and discarded only need our permission. With this consent, everything else would begin to shift. Peace, love and joy are currency that never loses value, and this abundance is readily available to us all.
August 5, 2025 - In The Meantime
The time and space between us and our needs and desires can be a volatile place when the mind is overactive. In this state we may make decisions out of desperation that later prove to be costly (fear). We’ve all likely had these experiences where we have said to ourselves in hindsight, “I should have just waited.”…But waiting is challenging because we interface with life primarily through the five senses where we have more control and we can create tangible results faster. This approach isn’t necessarily wrong. There are countless pathways we can take that ultimately lead to the same destination—enlightenment. Oftentimes the real hack is in tempering our minds, appreciating the gifts before us and allowing life to show us the way. The gentle reminder from beyond is that we are here to grow in awareness, and this doesn’t always require us to grapple with life’s details. So often navigating life with ease and poise is where we discover our true power. Remember that you are the heartbeat of every matter. The matter is never the heart of you.
August 4, 2025 - Making Space
As social beings, people need people. Yet many find it challenging to discover where they feel seen, heard, respected and appreciated for who they truly are. Our systematic assimilation begins early, and as we grow we become more aware of and preoccupied with fitting in. We temper ourselves for acceptance while our souls wait patiently for our recognition and return.
Self-acceptance is honoring the whole self deeply and completely, even if we are misunderstood. Every bird has a call, every leaf has a dance and every flower blooms for its own joy. It’s okay to take up space. Our belonging is absolute and our becoming is a testament of nature’s perfection.
August 3, 2025 - Cherish the Day
Miracles are unfolding in every moment of everyday, but so often the only ones we notice occur during our darkest hours…to remind us how precious and vital we are in the grand design. When we actively seek miracles, unwavering faith can stir oceans but without total surrender it can fuel our storms. So how do we temper our fears of the unknown? (1)Trust that our prayers are always heard, and from the moment of creation, our desires are forever etched upon the fabric of eternity. (2)Surrender to divine order, even when it's difficult. We are here by grace and each day we live at the mercy of the mystery. Resistance impedes our ability to flow with life. (3)Cherish this day, this hour, this moment. Even with all of our lofty goals and carefully crafted plans, life is a perpetual reminder that there is only now.
August 2, 2025 - Everything
We arrive with nothing and we leave with nothing. While we are here, we experience a great deal of contrast—sometimes through the the angst of pining and reaching and at other times, through the glory of achieving. Somewhere in the middle there is sweet spot where our focus moves inward and we realize that we have always had everything except for the awareness thereof. This everything is not measured in material possessions. It is an awareness that we are reflections of the All, and a knowing that everything we could ever need and more has been gifted to us in copious amounts. To see this one has to look beyond the veil of fear and chaos. To live it, the collective consciousness must decide where our allegiances lie: with systems that hold us captive or sacred truths that set us free.
August 1, 2025 - Echoes
Making the choice to be a vessel of peace and love is aligning on a frequency that transforms life as we know it into a living oasis. It is not new age. It is a return to the source of creation and reclamation of ancient wisdom with fresh new eyes. The heartbeat of humanity is like a collective echo. Through words and deeds and with utmost precision, we decide what reverberates far and wide.
July 31, 2025 - Pieces
When things fall apart in our lives, we often shift into overdrive in order to put them back together…to tighten our grip and reclaim a sense of normalcy and balance. We are being called to consider that there was a reason that we were barely holding on to begin with. All too often our hands, hearts, minds and even our desires carry more than what was ever intended for our celestial designs. Perhaps the normal that we have adapted to is anything but. In order to heal and pick up the pieces, we have to be willing to put something down and marvel at the mess. This is when we discover the gems that are hidden in plain sight. Like finding familiar shapes and designs tucked in the clouds, there is so much to rediscover about ourselves and uncover about life when we adjust our focus and pause long enough notice.
July 30, 2025 - Truth of You
Creating iIlusions makes us feel more palatable to the world outside of us when we are not ready or willing to face the truth within us. …But if we are honest we can acknowledge that upholding illusions is taxing on every level. We are regarded so highly by the heavens that we each are the only one of One, and our paths are dynamic demonstrations of all possibilities. The truth is like the moon. Its pull is persistent. When we acquiesce to our most authentic selves, we are like the ocean. It surrenders to the moon's draw
with devotion and dances to its own perfect rhythm.
July 29, 2025 - THE INVITATION
As life would have it, sometimes JOY is the most radical choice we can make—to honor our hearts, to preserve our peace and to feel undeniably free. JOY is like a precious jewel to be uncovered, even in moments of doubt and uncertainty. Abide a while in nature. You may notice that in the most serene and enchanting ways, JOY keeps inviting us in and encouraging us to stay. Consistently surrendering to the feeling
anchors us in the choice.
July 28, 2025 - This Very Moment
Life’s beauty is intoxicating when we come to the realization that we are everything and nothing at the same time—eternal souls seeking evolution through vessels that are impermanent. Every inhale is an innate prayer of belonging, every exhale a cry of surrender and every moment an expression of Grace. Like any gift, we can choose to unwrap the moment and behold it or devalue and forsake it. Just imagine the bliss that arises when we make the choice to cherish it. No other gift is more personalized than this.
July 27, 2025 - The White Flag
Through fiery exchanges with life, divinely guided steps become masterful at the art of surrendering. We don't always get it right, but the heart informs the flow. If it feels good in the heart, it is good for the soul.
July 26, 2025 - ...And Then There Is Love
If your intentions are pure, let your heart and your burdens be light. If your intentions are impure, it’s time to quiet the mind, heal the heart and lay heavy burdens to rest. When past experiences leave us with unaddressed emotions, the mind is always searching for ways to overcompensate for the energetic wounds. This makes it virtually impossible to clearly hear the heart and soul, so our decisions become distorted. Much of this happens below the radar of our consciousness, so self check-ins are critical. Pausing to ask, “What am I feeling (not thinking) and why?” and reminding ourselves that we are safe and cherished is giving our hearts the lifeline that is needed to shift from fear to love.
July 25, 2025 - Pura Vida
If you spend time observing nature you’ll notice that every creature moves with intention. They have priorities and rituals akin to their own rhythm. And still, everything seems to fit together in an ever-changing kaleidoscope of perfection. We are not separate from nature, and we have been gifted this same unconditional belonging. When we forsake our true selves for the sake of acceptance and approval, we deny the perfection of creation. Walking in purpose with pure intentions naturally affirms our kinship.
July 24, 2025 - Hacking Kindness
For various reasons, being kind doesn’t come naturally to everyone. Some discover in their own time, the joy and inner peace that is created by simply speaking and acting with mercy and compassion towards others. If your dial is set to kindness, rejoice! Your work is sacred and your reward is far greater than you can imagine. If your kindness is conditional or hit or miss, there is still hope. Like anything else, it can be learned and cultivated. Faking it until you feel it is far better than being met later with the destructive energy that is conjured up as the ego’s prisoner. The more we expose ourselves to the essence of our higher selves, the more we begin to recognize and reclaim our inner light.
When we lead with kindness, with every encouraging word and gracious act, we are giving someone the world. Kindness creates a holy clearing, for two or more hearts to commune in fellowship. Kindness is the silken ribbon that lovingly connects soul to soul.
FREEDOM DECLARATION:
I am kind and compassionate by default and my life is richly rewarding.
July 23, 2025 - Keep Dancing
Spiritual evolution is a process that occurs over lifetimes, and every discovery we make along the way is a significant leap for the soul. We are continuously sifting and sorting through information that is given to us, our own experiences, and our convictions about the totality of it all. Whatever resonates deeply is where we are supposed to be at any given time, even if it opposes the idea of personal growth altogether.
Many of us experience internal conflict and anxiety around the idea of bettering ourselves because we are looking for ten step methods for a process that was never intended to be encapsulated or rushed. This is why there is always something new that can be discovered in sacred religious and spiritual texts after centuries of study. We don’t have to have all the answers. Hearts that are open to the enormity of love’s power and potential, and eyes that are willing to observe The Dance deeply, naturally become one with it.
July 22, 2025 - Your Heart
Beauty is a nutriment for the senses that eventually fades away. Beauty's beauty is a feast for the soul that endures for eternity. Outer beauty diminishes, but beautiful hearts are never forgotten.
July 21, 2025 - Bit by Bit
Sometimes the progress that can only be measured in micro amounts leads to our biggest breakthroughs. While hungry minds fuel discontent, our hearts hold the line. They hold space for every victory, no matter how grand or small and every single setback, no matter how hard we fall. For this unwavering devotion our hearts have one tender request: Please do not deny me the joy of witnessing your sunrise.
So often success is measured by performance and output, and behind every achievement there is a soul that seeks the simplicity of peace and being. Please be patient with yourself. You are the glory of life unfurling.
FREEDOM DECLARATION:
I am included in the compassion that I generously give.
July 20, 2025 - Lost & Found
We are found, not when the puzzle is complete, but from the moment we discover that we were lost. ...And so begins the work of restoring and fine tuning the navigation system. It's okay to part ways with the One who is afraid and lean in fully. Our hearts never lead us astray.
July 19, 2025 - Tomorrow
Give tomorrow to the wind,
to be carried up to the heavens.
By the hand of grace you shall rise,
a miracle of creation.
Tomorrow is a projection—a closely held belief in the storylines we create. Some narratives are full of all the wonderful things that make life worth living, and some are full of hopelessness and energetic holes. Yet, there are countless variables that determine how we may actually experience the gift of tomorrow, and this awareness is humbling. It is a reminder of how delicate life is, and how in every second, minute and hour there is always something to savor.
We experience the fullness of life, and we feel the perfection of grace when we can hang our hats on tomorrow and marvel at the wind that carries it.
FREEDOM DECLARATION:
I am grounded in gratitude and cradled by grace.
July 18, 2025 - Today
Give today to the water,
to heal, cleanse and restore.
Rest your cares upon the waves
and embrace the ebb and flow.
Going with the flow takes on a whole new meaning when we are intentional about putting it into practice. It is non-resistance applied to life, not only when it is easy, but also in situations that test our resolve. “Practice” is important because we don’t always get it right. Rather than another self-help skill to master, it is a feeling to seek out and embrace as we dance with life. It is moving with the current, riding the waves and returning when we recognize the futility of swimming in the opposite direction.
No matter how we present ourselves to the world, contentment and balance are what our hearts desire. This is why coastlines and views from above are vacation and relaxation destinations of choice for millions. We are seeking attunement with our higher selves who are already one with the rhythms of creation, and these are poetic places of remembrance and portals for reclamation and return. The good news is, we don’t have to wait for the opportune time or the perfect location to feel this ease. Just like the waves, it is imprinted in every intentional breath and every act of peaceful surrender.
July 17, 2025 - Yesterday
Give yesterday to the fire and its ashes to the earth.
She will transform them into fertile soil,
where life begins anew.
When yesterday consumes us, the glory of today evades us and the joy of living loses color. But notice that yesterday's clouds don't stop the sun from rising and shining, seemingly brighter than ever before. Just as storms cool and hydrate the earth, our storms quench an indelible flame in the soul that is eager to grow. Be it positive or negative, yesterday is a passionate reminder to unwrap the gift of today.
July 16, 2025 - Faith Through Fog
The fog is the test. Fortitude is the skill. Faith is the answer, and trust is peaceful surrender to a plan that we cannot conceive.
FOG: Confusion / Lack of Direction / Lack of Motivation / Depression / Hopelessness / Fear of Missing Out / Fear of Standing Out / Low Self-Worth / Hopelessness …
FORTITUDE: Proceeding in spite of the fog, with humility and quiet assurance that in time, it will lift.
FAITH: A willingness to dance with destiny, even when we do not lead.
TRUST: Patience and mindful awareness - a delicate balance between intentional action and gracious acceptance of both the miracle and the mystery.
FREEDOM DECLARATIONS:
1. I navigate life with courage and confidence, and I lead with love.
2. I honor and trust divine timing in my life.
…All is well.
July 15, 2025 - Live Your Joy
When time stands still, the mind rests, the heart softens and the nervous system follows. The sources of our joy and peace capture us effortlessly and hold us gently because they are aligning us with something greater. By all means, do that thing that makes your heart sing. Sometimes getting lost is actually being found. It is a return to the still point that anchors us and embraces us at the same time.
July 14, 2025 - Sacred Rhythm
There is growth potential in every climb and quiet victory in integrity. Let every challenge and triumph reveal both the harmony of being and the holiness of becoming.
July 13, 2025 - Acceptance
Nature has nothing to prove or disprove. It sings, dances, rages and weeps for its own edification. Let the truth within your heart always be sufficient.
July 12, 2025 - Peace or Strife
Peace is a universal desire but not all have the mental and emotional capacity to create and sustain it. There are some who have mistaken power, authority and control for peace because they are disconnected from what makes us sentient beings, the heart.
We have seen time and time again how catastrophic ego-driven conflict is, yet we endorse it in small and large ways with the everyday choices we make. Now is the time for clarity and conscious cocreation of the life we desire. Now is the time to:
REMEMBER that we are better together - take action to remove mental and emotional blockages.
RISE in reverence to the heart of humanity - speak, teach and be love.
RECLAIM the right to live and thrive in perfect peace - radical choices and undeterred voices are catalysts for life altering change.
July 11, 2025 - Fear or Love
A life lived in a constant state of fear is hardly living. Fear has many debilitating and destructive faces, and it ultimately keeps us in chaos and survival mode. Survival mode triggers anger, hate, hostility, jealousy, self-doubt, deceit, manipulation, paranoia, defensiveness, distrust and more. It blinds us to the beauty that an unchained life brings.
A life anchored in love activates the sacred exchange of giving and receiving. Love thrives and multiplies where there is kindness, caring, compassion, devotion, self-acceptance, faith, loyalty, vulnerability, honesty, forgiveness, peace and joy. These energies create space for a life that feels boundless and free.
Free will affords us the opportunity in every moment, to choose between fear and love. The simplest way to do this is to align with what feels better—not just in the moment, but what fuels an eternal flame in the heart. For many of us this requires practice and patience…but the most captivating and inspiring things in life are the fruit of unyielding devotion.
July 10, 2025 - Intention of Being
Self-awareness frees us from the prison of unworthiness and awakens us to a world of possibilities for our lives. This knowing is fleeting and ungrounded when it relies on external sources. When it comes from within it is unshakable.
No matter the circumstances of our arrival or the toughness of the journey, we are not here by chance. We are each dynamic details in the grandest of all designs. Nature's melody is sublime and simple:
Please never doubt your belonging.
When self-doubt creeps in, affirm:
I am worthy by birthright.
My presence has divine purpose.
Repetition conditions the mind to align with what the heart and soul already know.
July 9, 2025 - Your Higher Self Wants You To Know
Chaos, inner conflict and confusion are energetic residue that lingers from experiences that are intended to help us grow. When we idendify solely with the Self that knows life through the five senses, this life and everything in it becomes the law that governs our existence. The Higher Self sees through clearer, brighter lenses, thus knows the truth of who we are:
1.We are here to love and be loved.
2. Our distinctions are divine creations.
3. Our tests and trials don't define us. They refine us.
4. Our souls have permission to sing and soar.
5. Our peace is wrapped in this kowing.
July 8, 2025 - Purr More
A roar that is bound up in pride successfully takes up space. It becomes a healing purr
when we choose to hold space. The heart discerns the difference and eagerly seeks balance.
July 7, 2025 - Petals
Petals fall graciously and faithfully to make way for brilliant new blooms. They surrender in honor of the wisdom of perfectly timed seasons. Perhaps what we deem to be incomplete, in a season or even a lifetime, is an expression of heavenly perfection that is simply misunderstood. Gift yourself the same grace that is bestowed upon all creation.
July 3, 2025 - Soul Evolution In a Nutshell
The highs and lows of life are rich with growth potential. It doesn't matter whether our experiences break us apart or break us open. There is something in them that our souls need and life makes it happen.
While we categorize and label our experiences for context, our souls do not discriminate between good and bad. They accept what we feed them as pathways to peace. They prioritize growth over stagnation and eagerly seeks harmony and balance. While there are countless ways we can get there, resistance and hardening delay our arrival. These are typical byproducts of an overactive mind. When we temper the mind and remain heart centered, we can efficiently and effectively integrate our experiences as fuel for transformation, and empower ourselves as spiritual alchemists and architects of our most fulfilling lives.
When we are broken apart, this one prayer initiates healing and ignites our transformation:
Please show me the way to perfect peace.
When we are broken open, this simple prayer keeps us attuned to perfect peace: Thank you.
June 25, 2025 - 3 Pillars of Global Peace
The most peaceful nations don't trend in the news and it is likely that they do not care to. They quietly build foundations that preserve their tranquility while other nations struggle to find it. We cannot be double minded about peace if it is what we truly want on a global scale. It begins with the recognition that we all, as one collective heart, desire and deserve it.
1. Peace is not blinded by power and control. Peace sets it’s sights on the greater good. The greater good is a foreign concept to blinded eyes and hardened hearts. Thus, his-story continues to repeat itself and the masses cease to evolve. Life is a most patient teacher and our collective experiences continuously reflect our collective consciousness. Our choices as individuals matter because we are divisions of One. Every word and action either affirms and aligns us with love or fuels the engine of fear (hate/greed/manipulation/control, etc.). Peace begins in our own hearts before it can echo far and wide.
2. Peace does not seek to devalue and destroy. Peace is fully committed to building solid bridges. If it isn’t all-inclusive, it is.not.peace. It is conditional proximity to peace undergirded by self-serving agendas. Every malicious act committed by humans, against humans further solidifies existence in a reality that is dense and heavy with unresolved spiritual lessons. It doesn’t matter whether we instigate or justifiably retaliate, the lesson is still the lesson. When the heart is at the center of any matter, proactive mitigation, mutual innerstanding and cooperation is always possible and much less costly.
3. Peace is not preoccupied with strategic positioning. Peace merely seeks to prevail. Nature demonstrates over and over again that there is more than enough for us all on this amazing planet, and our diversity in race, religion, culture and creed add color to life and joy to living. Our ingenuity and cooperation can take us further than any organized conflict ever will. Scarcity and fear are by-products of systematic programming. The feeling of being cradled by the abiding presence of peace requires us to tune in to it fully and make choices that demonstrate it in every area of our lives.
These three pillars of world peace invite three questions for personal consideration:
- Will my actions move me closer to or further away from peace? From parenting to unspoken biases, every corner of life deserves this examination.
- Is my heart engaged in my decisions? The heart tempers the mind when granted participation in life decisions.
- What can I do to affirm my solidarity with global peace? Every individual action builds momentum towards large-scale shifts.
Peace is a verb that is ripe with possibility. Imagine how the world would shift if we made PEACE and LOVE the foundation of every decision rather than allowing our minds to be manipulated into conceding to chaos and tyranny. Peace needs our unwavering commitment in order to prevail.
June 19, 2025 - Higher Love Changes The Game
If life feels strange in ways that are felt but difficult to define, you may be sensing a monumental energetic realignment that is unfolding worldwide and impacting every aspect of life as we know it. From glaring social and political unrest to dramatic occurrences in nature, *there is an active shift that is occurring in order to bring much needed balance and progress into fruition. As the veil between the spiritual and physical worlds becomes thinner, the polarities between darkness and light are becoming more apparent. The escalating tension and turmoil that has resulted from our attempts to blend and co-exist will soon be eased. Rather than competing for space and straddling the fence to stay afloat, by recognizing and returning home to our True Selves, we are actively creating new realities where all can experience life on the frequency of their choosing.
While those who are gripped by the strongholds of evil and darkness will prey and feed off of one another, those who embody the frequency of love will expand and usher in a brilliance of being that we have never before witnessed or experienced. This is not a new concept. Momentum is building to reestablish sacred truths that have been buried beneath layers of sophisticated manipulation and spiritual corruption.
Radical shifts require us to make radical choices. We all, as unique expressions of One, have the option to continue to fuel fires that enable evil to thrive and ultimately fall, or put earthly burdens to rest, tap into The Wellspring and taste heaven on earth.* These shifts are already happening in real time, and the public dissent and breakdown of corrupt power players and systems is glaring evidence. We have nothing to fear and everything to look forward to. With clarity about who we are and unwavering commitment to what we stand for, we are continuously aligning ourselves with other souls and life experiences of the same resonance. We are called to remember the healing power of love and allow it to lift us higher.
June 14, 2025 - If Miranda Rights Were
Annotated By Angels:
You have every right to RISE and SHINE. Nothing you have been through disqualifies you. Life School is simply refining you. You have the right to defend your actions, though silent reflection is strongly encouraged. If at any time you become overwhelmed by fear and doubt, life will provide inspiration. It is your charge to return to your heart. For every struggle, be it public or private, your GLORY is fully supported.
June 11, 2025 - Release, Rise & Return
Mindset shifts can be instantaneous when when we hear the right words or when inspiring moments present themselves, but in many cases they are intentional and actionable mental adjustments that we make to challenge our limiting beliefs and help us to experience life in more fulfilling ways. We can make these adjustments at any time, and we don’t have to fully believe new narratives when we introduce them to ourselves. All we have to do is insist that they are real and be persistent when older, less productive thought patterns, beliefs and behaviors arise. This intentional shaping of the mind informs life all around us, much like a river’s current and flow shapes its bank.
Positive mindset shifts soften angst when outcomes are uncertain. This helps us to remain centered and assured, much like the ease of dandelion seeds that float gracefully towards possibilities that are endless. They enable us to naturally build upon our existing strengths as we self-identify areas within that need our TLC and encouragement, just as plants that need more light harness their energy to grow towards the sun.
Our mental agility has the potential to be our saving grace in self-induced storms. It helps us to brighten our outlook towards ourselves and others, in spite of our fears and our wounding. Productive shifts also engage and influence compassion of the heart by helping us to see the best in everyone, even when they are not at their best. They compel us to hope for the best for everyone as we do for ourselves and our loved ones, so that we are not disappointed when they rise in their own glory rather than living down to our jaded expectations. Nature’s abundance continuously demonstrates in miraculous ways that there is more than enough for us all, and that we are the All. It reminds us that we each hold within us the keys to our liberation. With open eyes and willing hearts, we cannot help but to see.
June 9, 2025 - Choose Joy
When you’ve made it through the storms of many lifetimes rolled into one, you come to know a thing or two about Gratitude and Grace. You know that the grace that held you when you were asleep to its presence is the same grace that will never leave you. …So the gratitude you give when rewards are plentiful becomes the same gratitude given when you are blinded by the fog. When gratitude outgrows the words you have to describe it, Joy is inescapable. While you know that life wouldn’t be life without highs and lows, you become centered in your awareness that you are the manager of your default settings and joy for the sake of joy becomes a priority. You cherish its presence in the little things, quickly release trivial things and take no-thing for granted.
Hardships are not meant to be held indefinitely. When we navigate life with optimism and joy, by energetic command of our presence, we are seducing life to produce more of it. So in all of your doing, lead with joy. Live wholeheartedly in the center of joy, and when sorrows arrive let them cleanse you and entice you to return. Even a lifetime of adversities is no match for undeterred joy. It uses our sorrows as fire starters to ignite an eternal flame in the soul.
June 5, 2025 - Heart Over Matter
Invitations to shift from fear to love, mind to heart, are all around us and many times they are packaged as inconveniences or impositions. We have become so fixated on movement and achievement in our own storylines that often we don't even notice how disconnected we are from our interconnectedness. The driver in front who drives too slow and chooses not to run the light so we can't either is not an adversary. They are a reminder. The wayward person who pleas for help on the roadside is not a failure. They are a martyr. The willful child who challenges also teaches, and there is more to the person in the mirror than the triggering internal narratives that play on repeat.
Whenever the opportunity presents itself, try letting go of life’s details and gazing at the horizon. As the mind becomes quiet, we begin to soften. Eventually you may notice that the heart speaks in its native language without ever uttering a word, and the mind spews fear driven rhetoric before considering the language of the heart. Slowing down awakens us to a clearing where love’s highest potential lives.
June 4, 2025 - Better Together
It’s fascinating how trees in tight places make space for one another’s roots and branches. They gift each other with the grace needed to grow, even when it means that one acquiesces while another stretches. When they are wounded or where there is friction, they merge and grow together as a means of protection. Instinctively they know that they are better together, and that in their uniquenesses there is still unity. The righteous One does not live or long for the honor of being right, or first, or biggest or best. They covet the promise of brand new horizons and cherish the golden nuggets that they discover on The Path.
In nature there is so much to learn by simply observing The Dance, wandering, wondering and softening to its expression. The takeaways are not always profound. Sometimes all we need is to be renewed and reminded that there is no separation.
May 28, 2025 - Simplicity Speaks
Living in harmony is deceptively simple, but we sabotage our own well being in countless ways via the trickery of the mind. So often unsettled minds operate from scarcity which binds us into patterns of overthinking, overdoing and overachieving. The good life, that is feeling a deep sense of contentment and satisfaction, wants us as much as we want it. Through trial and plenty of error, I have learned that an immense amount of letting go is required in order to achieve this state of being and I remind myself often. The good news is, each of us is in full control of how fast or slow we attain sustainable balance, and if we attain it at all. Here are ten super simple life balancing formulas that actually work when put into practice.
- To feel ease, savor each moment. So often emotional tumult is rooted in past experiences or fears of the future. Neither exists in the present. What we feel now is what is real, and we write the future with our thoughts and intentions.
- To feel abundance, appreciate everything. When we are in a constant state of gratitude, we forget about what may be lacking. Best of all, giving thanks is a magnetic invitation for our desires to materialize.
- To feel belonging, look to nature. Nature reveals interconnection that seekers may not fully grasp from social circles alone. Nature is a feast for the senses and a healer of the human spirit.
- To feel assured, trust your gut. Confidence is born from belief in the “something told me..” that our minds often oppose. When the Higher Self speaks, it is compelling us listen in order to stay aligned.
- To feel accomplished, follow your heart. When titles, accolades and achievements are not in sync with our deepest desires, satisfaction may be short lived while longing persists. The heart is a faithful compass when we allow it to lead the way.
- To feel safe, protect your peace. Prioritizing our physical, mental and emotional wellness may require us to restructure our lives in ways that are not understood externally. Soul care does not require outside approval, and higher love is all inclusive. It sees its own reflection in yes and no.
- To feel worthy, accept duality. Perfection has no resting place in the pursuit of self-mastery. When we have no reference of falling, we forfeit our desire to rise.
- To feel freedom, be authentic. Being fully and freely ourselves in a hypercritical world may be the hardest thing we’ll ever do, and the rewards will also be the sweetest. Our sincerity enables life’s poetry to sing of our legacy.
- To feel loved, become love. Regardless of the circumstances of conception and birth, by nature, we are love. We are living examples of love’s alchemy, but by choice we are light. Glow with good intention and life responds favorably, with reverence for your devotion.
- To feel joy, smile. A smile reminds us that we are safe and secure in the present moment, regardless of what is happening around us. It may seem much too simple because we have evolved to anticipate extended struggles.
Breathe and rest easy. Our lives were not meant to feel like a never ending climb.
May 25, 2025 - L0vE + LoVe = L0VE
In case you have never been told,
in case you were told and never believed it,
if for whatever reason, you just don't feel it,
here's the purest truth of you:
God = Love
Love = The Expression Of All Life
You = A Unique Expression of Life
God - Lives and Breathes Through You, a Divine Creation
You = Love
By matter of heavenly perfection you are love.
The only separation is the distance we create.
May 23, 2025 - Shade, Fire, Sun
Unwarranted and unprovoked hate actually isn't hate at all. It is a semi-conscious response to triggers, from hearts that need healing and minds that need a safe place to rest. When we become keen observers we realize that whether the trigger is in a message or the messenger, it is a firestarter. Sometimes wildfires rage and sometimes they smolder but eventually they surrender to stillness after wind and rain.
No matter the mission and regardless of position, our reason for being has already been written. We don't have to carry the weight of wayward travelers. They too are on a holy mission. Breathe and rest easy in all of the shade and continue on your path. Shade is merely a filter for a sun that is ever present. You are the sun. Remember that sometimes others confuse hating you for loving you because they have yet to see the face of God within. Please do not douse fuel on a house that is already burning. The sun’s golden rays need only to shine the light of remembrance.
May 22, 2025 - Loneliness to Oneness
Loneliness is a state of mind, and one of the many faces of fear. Because abandonment wounds cut deep, so often we subconsciously deem ourselves to be incomplete. Then our choices in life are made from that frequency. We make them with confidence because we pine for the feeling of connection that we haven't been able to discover within our circles or ourselves.
Aloneness is a conscious merging of the mind and heart. Sitting with ourselves is an intentional act of surrender and self-preservation. It is where we finally stop running, where we learn to trust ourselves; where we trouble the water to find true meaning; and where we create space to love ourselves whole again and get on with the business of truly living.
Oneness is a state of being. It is a joyous return to the center of our very essence. It is where we add "be" to our longing and savor the taste of freedom. Oneness is where we discover the holiness in our heartbeats and the sunrise in our own eyes. Oneness is where we color our lives to complement our souls' desires.
When we heal the source of loneliness and surrender to aloneness, the workings of the mind are revealed, and the light of the heart casts down shadows to illuminate the Way of Oneness. We are whole and complete all by ourselves and nature informs us that our oneness is vast and expansive.
May 20, 2025 - Faith and Flow
The tangible is more valuable than the unseen in the present-day, and that makes it more challenging to surrender to Trust. While our minds can overwhelm us with analysis paralysis and the need for indisputable proof, life is so affirming that it doesn't require us to have all the answers. It encourages us to have faith that the good seeds we have planted will yield abundantly when the time is right, and proceed with expectation. Life is eager to fulfill our needs and desires, and it invites us to passionately live it and honor the mystery of its unfolding with humility and gratitude.
Untamed resistance to the dance of life is counterproductive for souls that long to grow and spirits that are eager to soar. Accept the invitation and lean in with reverence. Life begins to feel like poetry when we soften to its unfolding and flow wholeheartedly with it.
May 19, 2025 - The Light of the Heart
Softness is considered a weakness when you have adapted to the plague of modern misalignment. Kindness is suspicious where callousness and cruelty are standard practice. ..But life speaks of simplicity: When we expect good things and sow good seeds, it responds with more of the same. And when it doesn't, it is inviting and guiding us to discover deeper meaning, and reminding us to stay grounded in the center of our being.
Having a loving and compassionate nature is not a weakness. It is a fortress! The light in our hearts sanctifies lowly places and soothes the weariest of souls. It activates protection by a thousand unseen allies and levels the road beneath our feet. So live bravely from the heart and lean fully into love. Let your inner light be your guide and shield in the darkest of places, and your covering in the darkest of times.
May 18, 2025 - Trust the Dance
Our higher selves have the answers we seek but so often we doubt them. We doubt ourselves because we don't trust ourselves and we don't trust ourselves because we relinquish agency over our lives to external spiritual hierarchies. With deep reverence and respect for genuine teachers and leaders, it is also important to listen closely to the inner voice. Uncovering the treasures of life doesn't require us to shrink or shy away from it. The innermost thoughts and guided feelings that we often ignore are invitations to know ourselves deeper and discover what resonates with our souls.
Anyone and anything has the potential to inspire profound awareness, so it's okay to be okay with life's teachings. Trust its poetry to continue to write rousing and passionate stories that stir our hearts and compel us to look beneath the surface and beyond the veil that separates us. We don't need permission. Conviction is more than enough. Conviction is the quiet whisper of worthiness and a gentle nudge of encouragement. By all mens, please remember that our transgressors are also teachers and our teachers are also seekers.
May 17, 2025 - The Waiting Room
In the waiting room we heal, we purge, we rest, we recover, we repent, we recharge, we forgive and we face the common denominator. We open our hearts, close painful chapters and rewrite endings. We seek, we remember, we release and we discover. abiding. peace. The waiting room is beautifully messy and gallantly brave.
The work in the waiting room is noble. It is where we tear down walls, pull weeds and plant bountiful gardens. Our time in the waiting room is an active prayer for restless and weary souls, and the process of returning home to ourselves cannot be rushed. How we arrive in the waiting room is far less significant than the cleansing we receive and the person we become as a result of being there. Honor the time in the waiting room like the promise of sunrise after tumultuous storms.
May 16, 2025 - Nature's Embrace
Who we perceive ourselves to be and what we believe we are capable of is often built on faullty foundations. When the desire for acceptance and belonging overshadows the soul's longing, we become grounded in comfort, safety and the good opinions of others.
Confirmation of our worthiness from fellow travelers is nice to have but not a must. Nature is a perpetual reminder that we, with all of our mud and glory, are a part of the grand design. The sun rises and sets, the moon glows and the stars sparkle each day in your honor. Look closely and you'll notice that life is literally dancing for you! Nature is an unconditional embrace that can never be taken away.
