I passionately run forward into the "everything" that awaits. The beauty, the bounty, and the love; I run towards it all. And yet, this intense forward motion seems to be a series of short sprints, rather than an epic marathon of uncompromising growth and expansion. Life always seems to reveal one attention-needing dynamic after another… Continue reading One Final Rise Beyond “All Challenge”
My dreams, last night, were filled with memories of the many relationships and situations in my life that felt less than supportive and nurturing. As a person that excels at being "positive" in life, I did my best to ignore those memories in the first half-dozen dreams. But the dreams went on and so did… Continue reading Dreams of An Ancient Martyr
It might be a full week now, since I felt the heaviness of this earthly world fill me. The sensations came without warning, and triggered me into a self-nuturing, cuddle-in-the-blankets, sort of evening. While falling asleep, I prayed for support and healing from the Divine.

I was particularly reading about the power of our… Continue reading “Upside Down World”
In this often complicated world, it's important to recognize that many radiant souls have a difficult time trusting the Light that flows through their own spirit. Nothing can negate or diminish that true force of divine presence, ever. But each soul has the right to trust their own Light for guidance and direction or to… Continue reading Loving Those In Shadowed Spaces
Where we are is a reflection of all the choices and decisions we've made along the way. Each single step has added to the story of our unique and individual journey. If we happen to find ourselves at a point of struggle in our life, please recognize that our thoughts leading to this point allowed… Continue reading Choosing A Path of Grace and Ease
Dream worlds aren't so far from our own. They just appear to be because they are governed by an entirely separate set of rules and guidelines. In a dream state you do not question why something is. You just allow it to be. You allow yourself to feel openly and completely, without censor. You easily… Continue reading “Dream Worlds Aren’t So Far From Our Own”
