Dreams do come true. However, if your self-image is tarnished, your expectations of participating in all the great things that life has to offer are likely suffering as well. Perhaps, low self-esteem’s greatest cost is the resulting resignation it fosters. We die inside a little more each day. Before we realize what is happening, we have sold out our dreams for being all we can be, having those things we deserve and living a life fueled by our passions. Read More
Spiritual Malpractice
May 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Spiritual malpractice is a concept I heard one morning in church. I can’t even remember exactly what Rev. Sue Baggett Spears said about it, but the idea left a lasting impression, and many hours of pondering. It refers to the idea of something sounding spiritual, offering spiritual advice that in fact, doesn’t uplift but rather diminishes a person. Read More

In our very full lives we spend so much time doing what we have to do, that rarely is there time “left over” for our dreams. If you want to end this year right, begin to plan for next year. Read More

April 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment
When we are in touch with our passion we have more energy, enthusiasm and creativity. In a business context “passion sells”. Wouldn’t you rather do business with people who enjoy what they are doing rather than someone who is just doing a job? Passion and productivity go hand in hand. Happy people make happy employees and happy employees go the extra mile, producing greater results. Read More

Are You Living on Purpose?
April 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Your Purpose is who you are, what gets you excited; I might even say that your Purpose is remembering why you’re here. If you’re like a lot of readers, you might say, “I want to make my dreams come true, but, between you and me, I don’t think I have a Purpose.” Read More
Oneness: A Timeless Principle of Creation
April 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Oneness is not a new teaching. It’s a timeless, fundamental principle of all creation that refers to one source uniting everyone. Humanity’s yearning to find congruency with God and the Divine within us has given us common ground. From cave paintings all the way to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, it doesn’t take much to see that this intention has been around for awhile. Whether we find it in the Vedas or Christianity, oneness has been a popular subject for great spiritual masters who have offered us plenty of opportunities to awaken. We’ve been talking about being one with creation for thousands of years. Oneness is the nature of existence, a law governing every function of the universe. Once we discover this blueprint for living, we see that it’s abundantly ripe with the possibilities of what life can be. Call it a flowering of the heart, call it freedom from the mind, call it discovery of the higher self, or call it becoming God—it refers to the end of our perception of duality and separation.

The only reason a person doesn’t have the life they want is that somewhere in the back of their mind they don’t believe they deserve it. They don’t believe they are worthy which is why they will not take responsibility for making it happen. I needed to clear the “spiritual clutter” of unworthiness to give flight to my dream. Read More
The Divine’s Wake Up Call
April 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment
My first memory of it was when I was six years of age. My sister introduced me to my future step father. When he spoke to me, my stomach scrunched up into a tight ball, I felt uncomfortable and confused. I didn’t understand what was happening to me, since a moment ago I felt fine. This man seemed friendly. After all, he was smiling at me and talking nice. I was silent, kept a distance and was labeled, “shy.” I told no one of my experience because I didn’t have the words or understanding at six years old to even know how to. Read More
