To discover your divine perfection, you have to courageously embrace all of your imperfections. To see who you truly are, you have to excavate all that inhibits your full self-expression. To step into your light, you must allow yourself to make mistakes, experience disappointments, acknowledge our failures, and create messes. As Anne Lamott writes in Bird by Bird, “Perfectionism is a mean, frozen form of idealism, while messes are the artist’s true friend. What people somehow forgot to mention when we were children was that we need to make messes in order to find out who we are and why we are here.” Your greatest mistakes, biggest messes, … [Read more...]

Marianne Williamson writes about this intense time of transformation, “The chaos of our times is a reflection of a profound and inexorable reorientation of the human mind. This explosion is coming from the deepest levels of the psyche; it is not orderly; and no amount of tight, … [Read more...]

3 Sacred Keys for Lightworkers to Heal Their Wounded Inner Child
“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” ~ T.S. Elliot Although each person’s soul journey is unique, the developmental process we experience is the same. Such transformation involves spiritual growth in one way or another. And this growth requires healing our psychic pain, “our wounded child.” Most people choose to remain developmentally stuck rather than face their wounded child. Their emotional paralysis stems from their fear of experiencing their emotional pain. When we avoid working through such loss, trauma, and emotional … [Read more...]
Flowing with the Cycles of Life
In the natural world, cycles perpetuate life, such as the changing seasons, the rings of trees, the spirals of shells, or the orbits of planets.

The naturalist Rachel Carson describes the value of such awareness in The Sense of Wonder: “Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. . . . There is something infinitely healing in the repeated … [Read more...]

The Pivotal Moment I Let Go of an Unhealthy Relationship and Chose to Love Myself
In all our relationships, it’s essential that we find a point of balance between supporting our own needs, wants, and desires and those of another person. When we fail to satisfy our own needs, it results in no one’s needs being fully satisfied. Instead of asking for or manifesting what we want or desire, we become tolerant of mediocrity in our relationships. Although it’s wonderful to have a strong drive to support, serve, or assist others, in our need to give, we sometimes become overly responsible or over cooperate. This pattern debilitates us and those we serve. This tendency to over help can lead to a pattern of co-dependency where we … [Read more...]
Feeling Anxious? Realign with Your Heart Space for a Soothing Respite
If you are suffering from anxiety, you are most likely disconnected from your heart space. To find your way back to inner peace, you must come home to your heart, the seat of your trust, inner wisdom, and spiritual truth.
