  • Embracing Who I Am as a Spirit in Human Form

    Embracing Who I Am as a Spirit in Human Form

    I am, in physical form, a human body. I am a woman, a wife, a child, a daughter, a friend, and a sister and so much more. I am all of these; yet beyond all of these, I am spirit – a spirit alive in human form, existing beyond all the boundaries of humanity and physicality. I am what Jesus Christ called an eternal being; a child of God. When I focus on this truth—on being an infinite being—my life becomes lighter and easier. All that I need comes to me effortlessly, and what I don’t need naturally falls away.

    I choose to live a life of meaning, to see meaning in my life. I enjoy living in the constant awareness of my true self, experiencing consciousness beyond the limits of my body. I am connecting deeply with my soul and the Divine Source, allowing my spirit’s light to shine as a reflection of that Source in everything that life becomes. I move beyond labels, simply embracing the deep essence of being—the miracle we speak of so often. When I release the perception that I am merely a limited human body, I step into the limitless possibilities of what is truly available to me.

    When I live in the embrace of limitless possibilities I’m aware of the Universe as my oyster. Joy is my grace and the means by which I engage the experience beyond limits. My ability to create miracles, for myself and for others, exists within the space of grace and gratitude. This is my ultimate completion, a new understanding of myself beyond anything I have ever known or seen.

    My life is always expanding, always unfolding in perfect Divine order. I recognize the perfection of God here and now, and for this, I am deeply grateful. I am grateful for the path my life has taken, for my home, my physical body, and for every opportunity to walk, talk, and share who I am. I am grateful for all the infinite possibilities the Universe offers. What I am most grateful for is the contrast that I am here to enjoy; the many colors of Life that come together and nourish my experience.

    Gratitude is the key to this reality. It brings me into awareness of who I am and helps me expand beyond my physical form—through my thoughts, actions, and prayers. I believe healing is possible for every one of us, and this is where I place my focus.

    I concentrate on recognizing the absolute health of my own body—releasing the concentration of pain from my bones, heart, and all the other forms of suffering that I once believed belonged to me and were the representation of who I believed myself to be. I am committed to letting go of the idea that pain is a part of my life. I accept my humanity, my so-called imperfections, knowing that perfection is a journey of recognition, growth and discovery. Each experience brings me deeper into the understanding of what it means to be limitless. Stepping into a part of me that is always vibrant and open, and preparing to dive deeper into the energy of who I truly am. I release with gratitude what no longer serves my personal growth and embrace my full essence, whatever that may be. I trust that whatever I seek will present itself with ease, joy, and in the full exalted glory of being.

    I affirm my love for my life. I love that I am here, that all is well today, and that even as I arrive at the Toyota Center for car repairs, I am living my perfect life.
    This is my perfect life…NOW… and so it is!

  • Magical August Harvest

    Magical August Harvest

    Would You Let This Month Be the Most Magical Harvest in Your Life?

    Did you know that August is known as the month of harvest? This is a time when nature’s abundance is in full swing, offering us the fruits of our labor and the blessings of our creative endeavors. As we step into this magnificent month, I invite you to consider: What are you harvesting in your life right now? Are you ready to step into your dreams and embrace the blessings that your creative genius is eager to bring into the world?

    For me, the most important choice I make every day is to tune into the magic within me—a magic that is always ready to leap into existence and transform my life with ease. This is what it means to live a magical life: allowing magic to show up and letting life be easy. It’s about following my intuition as a guiding light, listening to that deeper knowing that sometimes gets drowned out in the noise of daily life.

    But why focus on this in August? Why not make it a year-round practice? For me, this month serves as a powerful reminder—a new month, a new opportunity to create and choose again. Choosing is the beginning of creation, and when I align with the energy that builds worlds, I can create magic not just for myself, but for others as well. This isn’t about interfering with someone else’s creation, but about living in the generative energy of limitless possibility. It’s about living in the expansive energy of freedom and abundance, allowing God’s blessings to become the norm, rather than limiting myself with thoughts of scarcity.

    Choosing also brings awareness. It helps me recognize the ways I’ve been distracting myself from the magic that’s always available to me—an energy I can welcome into my life instead of dwelling on thoughts of illness and scarcity. The last few months have taught me that everything is within the realm of my choice. By aligning with a higher intention for what I want to create this month, I open the door to more abundance, more creativity, and a deeper sense of fulfillment.

    Since April last year, when I felt my energy was at an all-time low, I started asking my body how to heal. I discovered that the fear and discomfort I was experiencing were rooted in a simple nutritional deficiency. Had I listened to the cardiologist who told me that Atrial Fibrillation couldn’t be cured and accepted a lifetime of medication, I would have missed the truth—that with a change in diet and some supplements, I could heal naturally. By listening to my body, I’m now living my best life.

    Is choosing differently the easiest path? No, not at first. Going against established beliefs is challenging, but it’s often the only way to true freedom of choice. The prospect of taking multiple high blood pressure medications seemed absurd when I knew I could change my diet, exercise, and pray for a different outcome. This was my choice—to let my awareness guide me toward a life worth living.

    I won’t pretend that this is an easy choice to make. It requires taking charge of your life, making informed decisions, doing your own research, and following the advice that resonates with you. It means taking responsibility for your body, your health, and your life.

    I’m learning to live in the question: What else is possible for my life? What is right about this that I’m not seeing? What’s my next step toward living my best life? These open-ended questions are the keys to unlocking the door to the magical me—the whole me. This is my life worth living, my magical life. What about you?

    What gets you excited in the morning? What brings you joy? What is your best life?

    Would you be open to considering that there might be more money, better health, and endless adventures awaiting you at every stage of your life?

    This morning, as I made a cup of hot organic cacao, I realized how fortunate I am—how amazingly wealthy I am. Not because I have millions in the bank or live an extravagant life, but because I’m living my dream life. Did I ever imagine that I would be living in a peaceful environment with my special person, on the brink of a new career that I’ve dreamed about for years? I didn’t ask the universe for a huge house, an expensive car, or a large bank account. No, I prayed for an abundant life, for ease, and for guidance toward my best life—and today, I recognize that I’m living it.

    I am deeply appreciative of my sanctuary, my loving relationship with an amazing man who shares my values and passions—someone who loves walking, reading, eating whole foods, and attending church together. I’ve been able to heal my body in ways that make me comfortable being alive, generating the energy to do and be all that’s possible at this time in my life. And it all started with gratitude and prayer.

    My intention is to live in the generative energy of love and gratitude, to let that energy guide me, and to trust that this is the way to fulfill my dreams. It’s about following my joy and knowing that I’m moving in the right direction because of how I feel.  I am following the light and the energy of joy in my life. 

    So, how and what are you harvesting in your life? Are you asking the questions that will bring you joy? Remember, it’s your harvest—one of drama or one of magic and possibility. What are you choosing?

  • My Vision Reset for 2024

    My Vision Reset for 2024

    When this year began I couldn’t see the end of the year. In my mind, I only saw the possibilities in front of me. 2023 has been a year of great satisfaction as well as personal, emotional and physiological discoveries. I learned that my body required better nutrition than I was giving it, that my heart expands and contracts with the happiness or suffering of others, and that the only way to change things in my world is to kneel and pray.

    I learned that energy is like mathematics…. Exact!!!

    Universal energy is perfect at every point and in every situation. The problem is not what happens, the problem is how we decide to see what happens; the way we judge the situations. When we read the energy of people or situations, we ignore the energy and instead we focus our attention through our own experience and opinions, believing that we should control the outcome.

    Sometimes it seems like God isn’t listening to me and suddenly an angel or two appear and it changes everything. I learned that angels do not have wings but two feet to walk and that they are present only when I invite them in or when I allow them to appear. This year I learned that the hustle and bustle confuses me and that the best way to pray is to enter into the silence of my soul and reestablish my connection with the divine. I also learned that being alone allows me to live at peace with and in my world, and that the one who creates everything in my life is me. I learned that I must be careful with what I think and with what I say because with my thoughts and with my words I am continuously creating everything that appears in my life.

    I learned that the only thing I can do to change my world is to change myself. And that my divine connection is the most important and most sincere thing that exists. I learned that listening to my body is the best way to heal myself and that with God everything is possible. And now when I look back and focus on the lessons of this year I give thanks for
    my growth. I give thanks for the circumstances of my life and I surrender to the continuous discovery and development of my being. I ask myself the following questions that I read in a book from one of my teachers:

    Why Am I here?
    What wants to know me?
    What wants me to release it?
    What is mine to do, right now?
    Do I know how great I am?

    Looking back I realize that in the middle of the storm I am nobody. When I let go of faith and I retreat into my smallness there is no way to find tranquility or the warmth of the sun, because my focus is wrapped in the strength of the storm. But when I go inside and listen to the whispers of my soul everything returns to calm and everything is fine. Entering the connection of my soul with Universal oneness fills me with calm and opens doors that are closed to me when I try to do it all alone.

    A Course in Miracles tells us that we live in a world created by ourselves and that we are children of an Infinite God. We are part of that Divine and miraculous energy that fills everything, and that the energy of love that is God and of which we are an intrinsic part, is actually the only energy that exists in the Universe. Everything else is a projection of our mind, a movie that we have created to entertain ourselves. The Course tells us that the drama in the world is of our own creation.

    My purpose for this coming year is to do only the things that fill me with light and love, and to turn my thoughts into prayers of peace. My focus this new year is to strengthen my connection with God in such a way that it is always present no matter the circumstances. It is to wake up in a state of gratitude and with a focus on how miraculous life is. It is in my focus on meditating, and giving thanks for how little or how much exists in my life that is now my only reality.

    I learned that I can live an unconscious life and live at the mercy of the storm, or I can be empowered to choose a life worth living; the choice is mine. It takes the same amount of energy, but when I listen to my authentic voice, the results are positive and predictable.

    My best wish for 2024 is that humanity awakens and finds the miraculous magic that exists in BEING! Happy New Year!

  • September’s Awakening

    September’s Awakening

    I had the thought the other day that for most of my life I’ve had a feeling of desperation about life and the need to stay ahead of the game of life; a need to control the outcome… Running for life as it were, and needing to have control over things that would have been so much easier to release to the Universal Goodness, to God and to the Holy Spirit through prayer and meditation… And blessing whatever was going on. Instead, I stressed and struggled and have lived a life of quiet desperation, as Henry David Thoreau so brilliantly reminded us in his writing.

    So what now?

    How does one allow life to unfold marvelously and intentionally without stressing over everything?

    I was called to serve… After answering the call to facilitate A Course in Miracles now for the 3rd month I have realized how much I have grown spiritually, and how I’ve been able to center my thinking on the idea of oneness. After years of studying the Course of Miracles and facilitating classes, now I can see that what the course is teaching is a return to wholeness or as A Course in Miracles reminds us a return to right mindedness. A reminder that I don’t have to control the outcome. It is as simple as showing up and allowing the energy to guide me while in class. No longer do I have to have an opinion or a need to control, it is as simple as showing up open and receptive to the energy of the group.


    Life seems to have stopped being a struggle and has become an extraordinary learning process and the energy of more in a balanced way. When I say balance, I am talking mostly about trusting that the Universe really has my back and that no matter what is going on in the exterior, the real me, the infinite part of me is always safe, abundant and joyful. I am not stuck, I don’t need to continue to command everything in life, now, life seems to be more effortless and joyful.

    I have always had a natural inclination toward plants and a love for flowers. I feel most at ease while walking in nature and tending my garden. This has become my walking daily meditation. I seem to have a “green thumb” and I love to see my garden filled with flowers. I have a natural ability to choose plants and harmonize planted pots, plants love the way I take care of them and multiply with ease. Even now as I write about it my energy changed to the experience of tending my garden! What a joy it is to wake up in the morning and walk in the garden to see the flowers that bloomed that day; especially the ones that only flower at night and last only till morning. It is such a joy to discover new plants that I have not seen before. It reminds me of the beauty of being alive to experience the joy of walking, the joy of getting my toes wet in the sand when we walk at the beach, loving the sun and the wind on my skin. When I am gardening…. When I am walking on the beach, there is nothing else in the world, just my communion with nature and the ease of life at the moment. What can I create when I allow myself to enter into the knowingness that Godliness is so much more than the idea of a mundane life?

    Living in the idea that my life is a metaphor for change and creativity and that I’ve lived trapped in the solidified beliefs that were implanted in my being-ness by society and by my parents way too long; not that any of that is wrong, but that it is time for me to allow a new idea of creation that is all mine. So, for the next part of my evolution as I grow in consciousness is a billion pieces of the puzzle of unveiling what more is possible?

    Listening to the words of the Master: Know ye not that ye are Gods?

    And WHAT is THAT?

    Accepting what Jesus taught (John 14:12) “that greater works than these will ye do” and now look at the sky scrapers and the magnificent Golden Gate Bridge and see that we concentrated in the miraculousness of expression in the material realm and that we have also found cures for many maladies of the human condition.


    Isn’t it time now to birth a new idea of unlimited abundance and a deep connection with the Divine?

    Is this the reality that is waiting to be revealed? And what does that mean?

    Isn’t it time to bridge the gap between the ethereal and the material? And how do we begin????

    We begin with the end in mind and with the energy we would love to create in our own reality, what is the miraculousness of my life that I am not currently seeing?

    So what is heaven? Isn’t heaven an idea of living in an overwhelming attitude of appreciation and gratitude? A Course in Miracles says that “creating is how we increase the kingdom and give thanks to God for our own creation”.

    If gratitude is the attitude and we are creating in unison with God then we already are living in a self created heaven because heaven is the living condition of gratitude that resides within us, and in how we live our lives.

    Are you a giver or a taker? Because taking is the attitude of lack and giving opens the door to limitless abundance! What are you choosing?

    So you see, for me, adopting the idea that to live in gratitude opens me to receiving the gifts the universe has stored for me and that my prayers are always answered, allows me to be open to receive!

    Meandering through my story may help you understand my absolute knowing that my life is always unfolding in Divine perfection and my new mantra that All of Life Comes to me with Ease, and Joy and Glory. That when I begin to suffer and control my only question is what is right about this that I am not seeing? How can I create with ease and joy?

    So I was going to say… the end, here, but really for me this is just the beginning and so I am ending with my beginnings!

    Living in complete allowance to the infinite possibilities that have been offered to me in this lifetime without reservations and trusting that the part of me that is always connected to the matrix of life and to the Divine is taking me by the hand and guiding my every step towards the understanding that I am already awake and that I step into life filled with complete confidence and without reservations… That is the life that I am welcoming, that makes my life worth living!

    I grew up with fear… I was taught to fear everything… releasing the fear opens infinite possibilities and the energy of having arrived. Knowing that there’s nothing more to do than to follow my joy and embrace my Godliness, because it is there, it is palpable. It is as real as breathing… Nothing to buy nor to do… just be in the energy of… godliness!!!!


    I love what Maya Angelo said… that you do what you know how to do and when you know better you do better! Do we know better now? It is time to awaken to the reality of our God-liness!!! What else is possible when we open our mind to the energy of more?

  • A Malleable Reality

    A Malleable Reality

    mal•le•a•ble (ˈmæl i ə bəl)

    adj.

    1.manageable, adaptable, compliant, impressionable, pliable, tractable, biddable, governable, like putty in your hands

    2.workable, soft, plastic, tensile, ductile

    What if reality, as we know it, is malleable?  What does malleable mean?  Can we transform our reality into something that we absolutely love?  Is it possible that our thoughts and words can mold our reality in such a way that life becomes miraculous?  And if my reality IS MALLEABLE, how do I use this to change my daily life?

    Just as clay is malleable…  You are the artist that creates the beautiful sculpture and in my life I have opted for a life that necessarily expands as my understanding expands…  What does that mean?  I decided to travel,  and take classes, to read books, and now with the advent of YouTube and podcasts I continue to watch and listen to new thought teachers to expand my knowledge. I listen to Dr. Mark Hyman on nutrition, to Dr. Dain Heer on consciousness, and to Dr. Reverend James Mellon and Dr. Reverend Michael Bernard Beckwith on Spirituality, all who I have adopted as my teachers.  They are my Michael Angelo in their fields and promote my own growth and understanding.   “Being open at the top ” is one of the options I have decided that works for me in order to continue with my own spiritual growth.  Last week I traveled to Northern California to take a four day class called Foundation by Access Consciousness. The class was held at an enchanting winery that boasted magnificent views of the vineyard and surrounding mountains; so it was an amazing getaway to submerge myself in the opportunity and expand my mind. It was an amazing setting in which to focus and find the small voice inside me that likes discovering new things. This was my third Foundation class so I suppose you could say that I am a slow learner, and I might even have dismissed the class by this time as repetitive.  But the concepts repeatedly expressed and the profundity of the material changed me at the core of my consciousness. This time the class was deeper. It was a quaint class with only five women, but the wonderfully intimate environment just enhanced the experience; for me it was life transforming.  

    The most interesting part is how simple it really is to change reality…  Choose differently and be the invitation to a new reality!!!  How simple is that?  

    How do we choose differently?  Just ask a question… how can it get better than that?  Ask yourself, “What energy, space and consciousness can I and my body be that will allow my life to be a grand adventure?” or ask“What would create more money, more fun and more joy in my life?”  

    It seems simple…  Because IT IS!!!  

    I talk to a lot of people who continuously tell me their stories of how broken they are; how lonely they are and they bemoan whatever life transition they’re going through. This is what keeps them attached to their pain, their despair and their confusion. They identify so deeply with their pain that it becomes a literal and important aspect of who they are. They stay in the process of suffering and their demeanor and choices are all about suffering.  I am not saying that you should ignore your pain because pain is showing the way to liberation; what I am saying here is that we have the opportunity to transform pain into a different reality. We can and must choose differently, unless we like to live in the drama of life, in which case you can keep choosing the same reality and continue to live in pain… But WHY?

    I learned a long time ago that I am responsible for my life and everything in it, so if I am response-able then I can choose a different reality!  I can choose to live in the freedom of choice and choose to step out of whatever painful situation and instead mold it differently. I can mold it to my advantage, mold it by stepping outside of the situation and see it from a different perspective.  This is where I get to refine the sculpture I call my life.

    Change your focus. Remember that what you focus on expands…  Once again, ask a question that would potentially empower you…  How can I change this?

    Create a target for yourself. Look towards joy, happiness, and abundance; what would create more of that in your life at this moment?  Ask yourself, “How can I lower my barriers and experience more love in my life?  What do I need to change in my mind and my surroundings that would allow for more peace in my life?”

    Build a new daily practice…  This is an empowering way to begin your day… Every morning as you engage with life all over again to begin your day, sit in meditation and prayer. Write three things you are grateful for. Sit and contemplate a new, magnificent day and ask for it to be a grand and glorious adventure for you.  Decide that your life will improve from this moment forward, and that as you lift the veil of sorrow, scarcity and pain a new dimension of joy and abundance will show up with total ease and grace.  Knowing that something else is possible allows for more of life to show up.  

    Amplify your inner light. Shine your love to our world. Take charge of your mind and expand your soul’s journey in this dimension at this time.  If you have no understanding of how to do this, find a coach, a minister or take a class. Read a book or find someone who will give you a hand and help you pull yourself out of the hole that you find yourself in. Ask for help and be willing to change.  This is a choice that is always available – to all of us!

    Is reality malleable?  Absolutely…  It is all done by choice!  

    Helen Keller said that life is either a daring adventure or nothing. I would add that we have to choose what we want in order to create it in our own lives; it is a universal law: the law of choice.  Learning that joy is an inside job gave me the opportunity to choose it, and to stop letting people and events determine my happiness. It is my choice to live in joy or to live in pain. What will you choose today?  As for me, today I choose to live in joy. I choose to allow my creative genius to take over and I step into the joy of writing. I will reach out for the things that will help me create more in my life!  What will you ask for today?  What will you choose today?  Remember life is either a daring adventure of nothing!  I choose to release the illusion of fear and to embrace the pure potentiality of a life well lived, will you join me in creating a grand adventure in your own life?  What else is possible in a Universe where we can choose to commune in nature, close our eyes and just know that there is so much beauty around us and that it is all here for us to delve into the energy of abundance when and as we choose it.  

    Free yourself, release the shackles of pain, suffering, lack and death and start living in the joy of expansion, in the abundance of more blessings and more of your inner magnificent light!  And so it is, Amen!

  • Gratitude

    Gratitude

    Do you practice gratitude in your life?

    Gratitude has been a daily practice in my life which has helped me find magic in life by simply living in a state of gratitude for all that shows up in my life, including all the things I perceive as bad. When I give thanks and ask the question: What is right about this that I am not seeing? I open the door to Universal flow, because what I perceive as wrong or painful could just be the next step into the direction of an idea that I was just not willing to be receptive to and that could potentially change the direction in which I was moving. What are your thoughts on gratitude? Share with me and start a conversation about what else is possible in your own life, turn around all the perceived inconveniences in your life and see how it all transforms into a magical experience.

    Yesterday, as we were walking on the trail, I vocalized the Access Consciousness mantra “All of life Comes to me with ease and joy and glory” and without realizing we dropped one of my headset pieces. When we got home and realized that it was missing, we decided to go back to see if we could try to find it. As it turned out we had appointments and an unexpected visit that took a few hours and in my mind it was possible that by that time someone had picked up the headset and walked away with it. Instead of going into the negative, we decided to drive by the area where we thought that we had dropped it… Someone had picked it up and placed it on a part of the fence that was easy to see and there it was, the other half of my headset. Being grateful and sending thanks from the bottom of my heart to the person who found it and placing it where we could see it made me feel that I was contributing to the energy I would like to create in our world. What energy would you like to create in your world?

  • I Discovered an Opening

    I Discovered an Opening

    In the space between relaxation and sleep I discovered an opening to that infinite being of which I now know and recognize, but, has lived hiding for fear of shining my light. A powerful light to an awakening to a reality that is not and has never been mine. I discovered a space of Light that illuminated me, the open door, the entrance to a level of being that I did not know. This, at that moment, gave me permission to be more of myself and allow love to flow to the infinite being that I am.

    I perceived a powerful light that made it easier for me to wake up from a reality that kept me unconscious and asleep, rejecting the greatness of my being. Waking up from a reality that kept me locked in the limiting energy of self-deprecation and victimization. I chose for a long time to live hidden from my being and now I understand that limitation is not part of who I am.

    In my dream I understood that living in insufficiency is a choice that limits me and deprives me of the power to live a deeply vibrant and enlightened life and allow the greatness of my being to show the luminosity of my spirit.

    My being is part of a great and expansive universe in which I am a grain of sand that participates and collaborates in a great design. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the availability and openness to this expansive space that I accepted and allowed myself to be and live in, because I recognize that I am an infinite and unlimited consciousness!

    My question is, what else is possible when I live from the elegance and opulence of that infinite being that I am?

    My ask of this Universal force is to show up and gently guide to more of me and to free me from the problematic back pack that I accepted as my lot in this life time.
