I was a professional fine artist for many years. After I began having very profound spiritual experiences, I discovered I could paint. I left grad school and eventually began to receive painting commissions.

Painting taught me so many things; the least of them was how to paint. I learned that Continue Reading »

Believe me, sometimes I’m just done with everything that “will make me stronger,” but I always feel grateful for these challenges once I’m through the storm.

Passing through the dark clouds toward the sun isn’t fun, but you will bloom again…with stronger roots and more beautiful blossoms.

We are all destined to bloom. It most likely won’t look the way you thought it would; it will be far better.

I’m thinking about belief this morning. We place our belief (trust, faith, and confidence) in so many things, many of which are so fearful. What do we really have to lose by placing more belief in magic and miracles? (By magic, I mean beautiful things that can’t be explained with human understanding, not a hocus-pocus type of magic.)

“But I’ll just be disappointed,” some might say. But Continue Reading »

I know it’s sometimes hard not to keep rereading the same chapters in our lives. Sometimes, I have to just stop and consciously look at what I’m doing and what I hope to accomplish.

I wonder if the caterpillar is aware that it is literally falling to pieces when it’s in the chrysalis. Does it become afraid? Does it think that things have really gone seriously wrong? Does it sit and plan how it will return to “normal,” inching along on the ground?

If someone tells me I am covered in chicken feathers, I won’t begin plucking; I would continue on because I know it’s not true.

I would only get upset if Continue Reading »

I was determined to find something to assuage the pain and emptiness deep within, and I left no stone unturned in this search. I would get an idea of where I could find this ever-elusive happiness, put on my bullhorns, and forge ahead with everything I had.

One day I began to see a pattern: I always started down a new path feeling exhilarated with the hope that this time I might find some sense of fulfillment. Invariably, they all Continue Reading »

I had deep feelings of despair from a very young age. I looked everywhere, and in everything that the world says, we can find happiness and fulfillment, but it always ended up like sand in my hand, leaving me with a deeper sense of emptiness.

I found an indescribable sense of peace only after I Continue Reading »

Our pup friends are such wonderful teachers. We can really learn a lot from them about how to treat one another.

Could you imagine if we Continue Reading »

Rest. Lay down your struggles and rest. If only for a moment. You are loved and cared for beyond comprehension. Right here. Right now. No matter what it might look like, this is still the only truth. Rest.

Your heart is always singing this song to you and only wants you to hear its sweet melody. It will never stop singing to you. Nothing you can do or ever have done could change this.

How do you rest your mind? There are many, many Continue Reading »
