Think Good Thoughts, Do Good Deeds, Create Good Things

When we reach for God, God reaches down to us.

We are often told to watch our thoughts or to change our thoughts so we can create what we want in life. I’ve often written here on this blog that I do, indeed, believe our thoughts are creative. I’ve also said that we can’t just think our way to manifesting what we want. Yes, occasionally, [...]

Will You Commit to Living Up to Your Soul’s Potential?

Are you living up to your potential or fulfilling your purpose?

I live a lot of my days with a nagging feeling that there’s something I should be doing that I’m not doing. I don’t mean “should” in that negative sense, like my mother told me to do something and I feel like I should to please her but I don’t want to or society thinks [...]

Can You Imagine Being a Billionaire?

The other day on Twitter, someone share a link to Forbes gallery of the world’s billionaires. This person’s tweet said, “Something I can’t ever imagine being.” I replied, “If you can’t imagine it, you won’t ever be it.” Indeed, if you want to be something–a billionaire, a millionaire, a writer, a mother, a wife, a [...]

Changing Old Habits can Prove Difficult

2012. The world was supposed to end, some said. (We knew better.) But things were supposed to change–the energy was supposed to change, at least.  A whole week has gone by. We are being flooded now with the light of the first full moon of this pivotal year, which is supposed to affect our consciousness [...]

4-Steps for Manifesting Your Dreams this Year

I do a lot of things to help make my dreams come true in the physical world. I take a lot of action steps. I do the things I should do. I do the things I’m inspired to do. I seek answers and solutions and I work at achieving my goals many hours a day. [...]

I Gotta Feeling…

Over and over again we hear how we must connect our thoughts and feelings to create what we want. Even more important is simply to feel good. Lately I’ve been having a hard time getting to that feel-good place. Then I watched this video of the Black Eyed Peas singing “I Gotta Feeling” at the [...]

God is the Giver, We are the Receivers (Part 2)

As I wrote in yesterday’s post, we must give as well as receive. The two are integrally connected. Indeed, when we give, we open ourselves to receiving. We also become “like God,” since God is the Giver and we are the receivers. We, therefore, move closer to God, reducing the separation we tend to feel [...]

God is the Giver, We are the Receivers (Part 1)

One of the major premises in my work, both my writing and teaching, revolves around the need to give as well as to receive. The two are integrally connected. Indeed, when we give, we open ourselves to receiving. Yet, we don’t want to give in order to receive. When we give, we make room to [...]

Unconnectedness of Thoughts Leads to Living in the Moment

I often consider and write about the idea of living in the moment. I know it’s not just a concept; it’s a worthy goal and one some people achieve. I have found it difficult to do so, although it remains one of my goals. Quieting my mind during meditation also remains one of my goals, [...]

An Exercise to Help Give Soulful Gifts

During the season of gift giving, it’s easy to get caught up in the commercialism of the holidays. However, you can make the season meaning-full and spirit-full by giving gifts that come from your heart as well as from your soul. Most people find it easy to give heart-centered gifts. By simply thinking about the [...]
