Goodbye 2019, Hello 2020!

2020

The 2020s have so much potential for new change for growth, healing, love, and peace, and I've been thinking a lot these past few days about my vision for 2020. What would you like to experience in 2020? Are you making a vision board? Writing a list of goals or resolutions? Or forgoing the whole thing to live in the moment? As for me, I am hoping that in 2020 I can continue the work I've done personally to share my story with a wider audience. It hasn't been easy for my ego to let go of its tight hold on how I present myself to others. I've kept my stories hidden as a protective tactic. I hope I can continue to share and remember my reason for...

Balancing Spirituality with Reality

God

"On Earth as it is in Heaven" -The Lord's Prayer The spiritual world is beautiful and perfect. Well, wait, I should clarify. The higher realms of the spiritual world, the ones I encountered in my experience, are beautiful and perfect. It is a world full of love and peace. Everything sings with light and joy. In contrast, our physical reality can seem topsy turvy and difficult. After my experience, I wanted to have nothing to do with the "real" world. I knew how beautiful God's world was, and I wanted to go there right away and forever. Learning to stay in this world in a balanced way has taken years. One of the most valuable things I've learned in this process is the importance of being embodied and truly...

Remaining in Peace

peace

Happy Wednesday! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Mine ended up being awesome, with a beautiful time spent with my sister and family. And now we're already in December. I'm so excited for the holidays that are coming up so quickly! I wanted to write today about remaining in peace amidst difficulty and strife. It's something that's come up for me this week as I've been navigating some heavier emotions. I can't pinpoint exactly why, but it feels a lot like worrying about the earth, nature, and the many people who are suffering. I don't even know at this point whether I'm projecting or not - in therapy in the past, that was often the summation. But our earth is going through a lot. Climate...

Hope in Things Unseen

centering, faith

In times of sadness or confusion, it helps me to remember that we are part of a greater, Godly reality. This week I've felt the pressure of parenting, career, finances, marriage, and holiday stress. It's easy to get lost in the tangible world and lose the tether to our greater reason for being here. While I love the bliss I experienced when I initially had my encounter with the Divine, and I attempt to connect to that peace regularly through prayer and meditation, I'm just not always going to feel that connected, joyful, and peaceful. This week was one of those times. I have felt stress. I have worried. I have wished for peace. When that happens, as it does, it helps me to get still, breathe,...

Doing Things you Love

healing, Love

When the world seems to be mired in suffering, it can feel selfish and a little pointless to do the things you love, but it is at those times that your joy is most important. The world benefits as much as you do from your healing, loving, shining heart. What brings you to that place of joy? What helps you feel love? When I was at my most depressed, I didn’t even know what joy felt like, much less what could help me feel it. I remember for a while, the only thing that helped me feel better was singing Christmas carols. So I did that. Over time I’ve found more and more things that bring me joy. Healing has been an interplay of moving towards joy,...

Forgiving Yourself

forgiveness

What does it mean to forgive yourself? In my life, forgiving myself means returning my heart to the true love of God, stopping the negative self-talk reels that can loop again and again in my mind, and having a soft approach to myself and my heart. It can be so easy to be so hard on ourselves when we’re faced with past mistakes and let downs, but we all need to remember that we’re all here to learn, grow, and become. We weren’t born knowing everything – that’s why we were born. “Hurt people, hurt people.” – Will Bowen This wise quote has truly helped me to remember that the times when I’d acted out and hurt others in the past were truly out of my own...

How I learned to Trust my Heart: Some Ideas and Inspiration

heart, trust your heart

If you’re reading this, you may be searching for a way to listen to yourself, and your heart. Trusting your heart seems like a simple proclamation, but in our world of separation, it may be one of the hardest things you’ll ever do. The first question that must be asked is, why trust your heart? What is the point of it? In my upbringing, I was raised to trust my mind. I had no awareness of my heart or inner self until breakdowns forced me to get to know myself from the inside. I learned that trusting your heart is truly the way to a happy life. Your heart holds your inner wisdom and is your connection to God or Source. Your heart is where love...

Timelines and Timeline Shifting

timelines

I wanted to write today about a topic that comes up a fair amount in spiritual circles, but is one I never heard about until I started exploring this world. A timeline, as far as I understand it, is a line of time that you experience. When we make different choices, we experience different outcomes and move into different timelines. In the total sense, everything that is happening is happening at once. We can choose what version of reality we experience by what we pay attention to, what we think about, and what we do. We can most easily change our timeline experience to a positive one by raising our vibration and aligning with love. Timelines are a bit of a strange concept that have come...

Seeing the Big Picture

perspective

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11   It can be hard to see the big picture when life is happening. When I look back on my life up to this point, many things I couldn’t understand make so much more sense with the perspective of time and distance. I’ve heard that everything that’s happening is perfect, and that is comforting, but it can be challenging to know that in the present sometimes. It helps to get still and get in touch with God. It helps to remember that we are all being guided and that we are each of us so loved.  Sending you...

Believing in an Unseen World

faith, spirituality

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....
