Our thoughts create our reality. Therefore our perception of what is happening around us is everything because it can make or break us. "The present moment is all you have," Eckhart Tolle says, so instead of wishing you were elsewhere, just be. But when it comes to your thoughts, it's a different story, because our [...]
Sometimes we are continually seeking the answers to things and we feel like we're getting radio silence everywhere we turn. When we receive silence it's usually because we're not ready to receive the answer yet (good or bad). However, you know that saying, "silence is deadly." It is! Silence is a real patience-tester. If you've [...]
When we're rooted in fear, we become unbalanced. Fear is self-induced and even though we create it for ourselves, we have an awfully hard time ridding ourselves of it. It's like a virus that creeps into all realms of our life and the only way to get rid of it is to be mindful of [...]
Answers are presented to us when we're ready to receive them - not when we THINK we're ready, when we ARE ready. We can think one thing, but we may be another. There are so many things, too many to actually count in my life that I've prayed for time and time again and waited [...]
Often we feel as if until our circumstances are different, we can't be happy. We feel as if there's no reason to smile when we're not where we want to be in life yet. This couldn't be further from the truth. Joy is a gift to us. We can access it any time we want. [...]

There is always something we can learn from every encounter and [...]
Your prayers are not going unanswered. The Universe delivers us signs of reassurance and confirmation and comfort continually throughout the day. It's really just a matter of opening your eyes and trusting yourself enough to accept them for what they are. It could be a word from a stranger, a comment during your favorite TV show, [...]
God will provide everything you need, exactly when you need it. Trust and believe that you will never be lacking in anything that you "need" (not what you "want"). Sometimes we mistake the things we want for the things we need. There's a big difference and when you're in the moment of lusting and craving [...]
Today, ask yourself this one question. What has been draining your happiness? A relationship, job, situation, friend or a bad habit? If something doesn't excite your soul, let it go. Release the need to please everyone and make everything right. You can leave your wake of love and kindness behind you as you follow your [...]
As I re-study my teaching manual for A Course In Miracles, I always stumble upon new concepts in the book that pop out at me. You know you could read something or even experience something at one point in your life and perceive it in one context. Then you could do it all over again [...]
