As we step into the new year, it is filled with promise and potential and is ours for the making. We create the life of our heart-felt desires by listening within, setting the intention, deciding to act and releasing anything that is blocking the fruition of those dreams. Join us here in a three-part ritual […]
What are your heartfelt desires for our country as we move into the new year ahead? As we pray for their unfoldment and hold them as possible, we create a space in our consciousness and the collective consciousness for them to unfold into form.
When we treat others with love and care, we give expression to our spirit and to the Divine. In turn, we are all lifted and graced by the Sacred. When we see through the eyes of our spirit, rather than our ego, and acknowledge our shared humanity, we recognize that we are all deserving of […]
One of our greatest human needs is to feel connected to others. The holidays are normally filled with lots of opportunities to experience our connection with friends, family and loved ones, as well as with our family of humanity.

We often forget is that we share common ground, even with our ‘enemies’. Jim Wallis tells us, “We can find common ground only by moving to higher ground.” Let’s find our way to what we share in common and let our conversation grow from there.
When we find ourselves in times of limbo and when the ground doesn’t feel secure beneath our feet, it is time to lean into our faith and Presence of the Infinite. In doing so, we discover peace and assurance and create an opening for Good to pour into our lives.

As we walk this spiritual path and live a spiritual life, we cannot separate out our spirituality from our work, our home life, raising our children or even politics. It is all a part of our spiritual path. We are being called to bring our spirituality to everything we do.
Holding ourselves and others in harsh judgment and condemnation separates us from our own inner peace, our sense of well-being and keeps us from bringing our best selves to life. When we forgive ourselves and others, when we make amends and clean up our wrong-doings, we are able to move back into alignment our own […]
Do you know what your purpose is in life? We can live with purpose every day and in everything we do. As we live with purpose, we become a beneficial presence in the world.
Our consciousness; our beliefs, attitudes and focus create an avenue for the Infinite to express in this world. We are being called to embody a greater realization that Love, Peace, Order, Harmony and Good, are present right in the midst of what seems to not be working. In doing so we call it forward.

The Creative Intelligence of the Universe is always at our disposal and seeking to express through us, as creative solutions, answers to our problems and new ways to do things. We must get our fear, doubt and negative thinking out of the way in order to access this Creative Intelligence.
