The Wisdom You Needed Was Already There
Sometimes Guidance Returns Instead of Arriving Something happened recently that led me back to a few journal entries from 2008, and what I found there gave me exactly the reflection I needed. I have a habit of revisiting old journals now and then, especially from the period when I was first beginning to receive messages […]
No One Is Who You Think They Are
The Story We Create About Other People I have caught myself doing this more times than I would like to admit: deciding I know who someone is before I truly understand what may be living beneath the surface. We hear a few words. We see a reaction or a choice we do not understand. We […]
What If Your “Too Much” Is Actually Your Gift?
What If You Have Been Judging the Wrong Thing? What if the part of yourself you keep trying to fix is not broken at all? What if the sensitivity, intensity, awkwardness, self-doubt, or “too muchness” you have criticized for years is not the problem you think it is? What if some of what you have […]
When Spirituality Doesn’t Give You the Life You Expected
I Thought Spiritual Growth Would Make Life Easier There was a time in my life when I believed spiritual growth would eventually make life easier. I may not have said it out loud, but somewhere inside me, I assumed that if I learned enough, healed enough, meditated enough, and followed my inner guidance carefully enough, […]
When You Don’t Feel Like Yourself, Don’t Abandon Yourself
When Something in You Feels Off There are times in life when you simply do not feel like yourself—or like the person you want to be. You feel flat. Unmotivated. Uninspired. Tired in a way that sleep does not seem to fix. You may not even know what is wrong. You only know that something […]
The Courage to Claim Who You Have Become
I recently had a conversation with someone whose life had changed dramatically through an experience that most of us could hardly imagine. She had survived what should have been unsurvivable. She had rebuilt her life after losing abilities she had once taken for granted. Along the way, she had also discovered spiritual gifts, a deeper […]
Why Your Thinking Mind Can’t Take You All the Way
There are moments in life when something goes sideways and our first reaction is filled with frustration, disappointment, irritation, confusion, or self-doubt. The plan didn’t work. The person disappointed us. The timing was off. The money feels wasted. The opportunity seemed promising, and then it fell apart. And because most of us have been trained […]
How to Turn Inner Guidance Into Real-Life Change
After a recent coaching session, I found myself reflecting on one of the most important questions on our spiritual path: once we receive Divine wisdom, how do we actually live it? It is one thing to feel connected to Spirit. It is one thing to receive an insight, sense an intuitive nudge, or have one […]
What Is Your Anxiety Trying to Tell You?
Most of us think anxiety is something that simply happens to us. We feel the tightness in our chest, the racing thoughts, the sense that something is wrong or about to go wrong, and naturally, we want it to stop. I understand that. Anxiety is not pleasant. It can make life feel heavy, decisions feel […]
The Hidden Reason You Live in Your Head
I have come to realize that many people do not overthink because there is something wrong with them. They overthink because, somewhere along the way, their mind learned it had to protect their heart. When the heart has been hurt, the mind often steps in and tries to make sure that pain never happens again. […]
