June Angel Message: Your Own Path

Here's the monthly message from the angels. Hope you find it as helpful as I did! I send these out every month with monthly updates in my newsletter. The most important thing for you to know is your own relationship to the Divine. You cannot control anyone else’s timing or entry onto the spiritual path, though believe us it is something each soul comes to eventually. The highest thing you can do for the other is to step boldly onto your own spiritual path and know confidently that this is where you belong. You know your own heart and where it exists in relationship to God’s love. Let that be enough. When you wish another to join the path with you, don’t force. Their heart is walking...

May Angel Message: Creation

Happy May! Here's the monthly message from my angels. Hope it's helpful! It was for me! When you start on a project dear to your heart, divide it into two. One half for you, one half for divine surprise. This means that you must do your work, invest your time, energy, and expertise, while leaving an opening for your guides and unseen helpers to fill in the gaps. In this way creation is a dance with spirit. We provide you with inspiration and direction, while you complete the project with your unique skills and abilities. In this way, receiving our loving guidance, you cannot fail. Your creations shine brighter when space is left for the divine spark, which allows them to touch more hearts and reach others...

Love Is All Around

This month I'm trying something a little different. Similar to my angel readings, this month I tuned in and wrote the message I received from the angels. I hope you enjoy! I can't take credit for this wisdom! Your angels are here for you. God, in any way you conceive, is love, and within and all around you. At times it may not seem so. The world is a trickster. Shift your awareness to your inner space. See the world through the eyes of love. A neighbor walking a dog, birds chirping in the morning as they have for eons, a tree growing. These are pockets of God in a world that seems far removed. There is nothing but God. The magic lies in finding that...

Clearing your Energetic Body

In my forays into healing, and more recently into mediumship, learning how to clear my energetic body has become an important part of my daily practice. When I first started healing, I was trying to simply sleep through the night and stop having anxiety. Healing now has taken on a broader meaning, as I am healing myself not only for me, but also so I can heal and help others more effectively. Lately this has meant having a clear and shining energetic body. The importance of having a clear light body really hit home for me this weekend, when I went to Suzanne Giesemann's Serving Spirit Level 2 training in Savannah, GA. It was an amazing training and I'm so thankful she is my teacher. While...

Seeing the Love

A question that has come up time and again is - Where is God when tragedy strikes? It's easy to feel confused when watching the news or when experiencing difficulties in your own life. I'm not a sage or a wisdom-keeper, but I can tell you what I've learned since my Spiritually-Transformative Experience (STE). I hope it will be helpful. As I write about often, in my STE I felt God's love very intensely, for me and for everyone. I saw light in all things and people. This experience, or really, series of experiences, was so profound that it shifted my life completely. But as many people ask and as I wondered in the past, if that light is there all the time, why doesn't it seem...

Field of wildflowers

The seed of joy

There is a kernel of joy at the center of your being. It was with you when you were born, and it will be with you throughout your life and beyond. It is your essence, your soul spark, your true nature, and the seat of God within you. We each have this seed of joy, no matter who we are or how we seem to others. And yet, sometimes it can be hard to connect to that joy. Between kids, jobs, bills, and the news (and anything else you may have on your plate), that joy can so easily get buried beneath all the needs of the day. I have definitely been aware of how much I've let the worries of life take over and cloud...

Enjoying Life & Having Fun

Having fun may seem selfish. It may seem fruitless. However, I believe part of why we're here is to have fun, grow, and enjoy life. I would not have been able to write that a few years ago, before I began healing. I know it can seem hard to enjoy life when the world seems unfair and harsh. But there is still joy in the moment, because joy is who you are. I remember being asked many years ago in therapy what made me happy. I couldn't even answer! I didn't know what happiness felt like and I did not know anything that could help me feel that way. So, I started small. I enjoyed nature. I liked flowers. I pulled a thread that eventually brought...

The Healing Power of Reiki

After years of studying and practicing Reiki, I often feel like I take the subtle healing power of Reiki for granted. I began studying Reiki when I was 23. Back then, it was an amazing revelation. I was astounded by it. Over time, I got used to it. I studied other healing modalities. Reiki was cool, but so were all these other healing paths, I thought. But something happened last week that really upped my appreciation for Reiki. I began working one-on-one with a student in need of healing and guidance. As I began teaching her about Reiki in this intimate setting, I started to truly appreciate its power and promise. What a beautiful method, so accessible and simple, and yet beyond our human understanding. Reiki...

Dream of the Heart

I have just awakened from a beautiful and insightful dream. In it, I was remembering how to ignite my heart, and how to make it feel love. My thoughts in the dream were loud. I was speaking them and living within them. "It can be harder as an adult to feel love," I said in the dream. "Life can take over! But once I remember to connect to my heart and feel love, it is so much stronger than it was when I was a child." The love in my heart was so strong at the end of this dream. It was burning. Then I awoke. I hope that dream is helpful for you to hear! Especially since becoming a mom I've found that I can get swayed into...

Believing in an Unseen World

When I first had my experience of God, I truly believed I was going crazy. I was not raised to believe that another side of life existed and was ready to check myself into the hospital. But several things gave me pause. One, my experience was beautiful, and it made me feel very joyful and very peaceful. Two, I met and talked with people who were conversant in the spiritual world and found it completely ordinary that something like that would happen to a person. It became more and more okay for me to accept the reality of a spiritual world as I accepted my experience. The bigger work was learning that the spiritual world was not more important than the physical world, but equally so....
