Nina Amir's Thoughts on Human Potential, Personal Growth and Practical Spirituality
A lot of religious people talk about “hearing” God’s call or getting messages from God. Other people say they get gut feelings or their intuition “tells” them things. Still others claim angels and guides advise them. And then there are those who see messages all around them in their day to day life–the words spoken [...]
Sometimes life takes us in unexpected directions. We find ourselves walking paths we didn’t plan. We find ourselves far from home–both physically and spiritually. Over the last few years, I’ve been led away from my spiritual path by the business of my life. My organized religious life fell away as I focused on my children, [...]
I’ve been trying to figure out what to write about as a Yom Kippur, Day of Repentance topic. This Jewish High Holy Day typically brings up issues of forgiveness. I didn’t really want to delve into that once again. Then I watched an Oprah Winfrey Master Class video about surrender, and I knew. That’s my [...]
Have you ever had a time in your life when something just felt like a struggle? You thought you were on the right path, but obstacles just kept rising up in front of you and causing you to question if you were doing the right thing? I had a time like this just this past [...]

I’m always amazed that no matter where I go people talk to me about their book ideas. But I shouldn’t be amazed.

The other night I stopped in town to grab some dinner. I parked my car and headed toward my favorite Mexican restaurant. As I crossed the street I couldn’t help but notice the group of people gathered on the corner of the park on the opposite side of the street. They had huge signs that [...]
My husband and I were discussing how we react to things that happen in our lives. We have very different approaches to what could be seen as “irritations” that occur. I tend to take what I call a more “spiritual” approach; he tend to take what I call a more “reactive” approach. I’m not saying [...]
It never fails. Just as I say commit to moving forward with one of my goals or dreams, I get bogged down with a work project. I should feel grateful for work (and I do on many levels). Work means I brings in money. My husband appreciates the fact that I can contribute to the [...]
More often than not when we wonder what we should do or what decision we should make, we receive signs that help us make these decisions. Unfortunately, many of us aren’t looking for them and, therefore, we don’t see them. I know I’m at fault of not opening my eyes and noticing them. That’s why [...]
