Persistence,
This is my key to reprograming my beliefs, thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions. Daily, I am persistent in my prayer, setting of intentions, appreciations, acceptance, meditations, and willingness to learn. When I allow myself to remain teachable, I am willing to change the things I can and accept those experiences I can’t; then I will […]
Moments of perception.
I have learned how my mindset or perception dictates my reactions to the world. When I lived in fear, anxiety, frustration, annoyance, and anger I saw the world as unsafe, and I believed I was a victim of powers outside of me. After I became willing to take an honest look at my own beliefs […]
Bringing myself into alignment
Today I am reminded how being aligned with the Divine design of my life is the key to happiness, joy, and serenity. Today I choose to pay attention to my beliefs, thoughts, feelings, actions, and reactions in each present moment. I need not focus on what I think others should think, act, believe, feel, or […]
Finding mine.

Confidence in knowing that all things are of God and therefore good, allows me to live in acceptance and bring peace within. Knowing that every experience will work […]
We all belong.
Each and every being belongs in our experience. One author describes humans as a reflection of ourselves and as such we get to see ourselves from many different perspectives. Another author stated that we are each a physical manifestation of God. We are what happened when God asked: What else can I be? How else […]
What I get from others.
I have always believed I could get something from others. As a child I tried to manipulate family members to get what I thought I wanted at the time. In my teens and twenties, I tried to get women to have sex with me. In my many different jobs I tried to get my bosses […]
Dependent.
I have lived out dependency to unhealthy levels in both directions. I have been so co-dependent that I lost my sense of self, and I have been so independent that I lost all relationships. Over the years I have allowed myself the gift of doing the shadow work within me and healing the insecurities that […]
Spiritual precedes material.
The spiritual realm was first and from it came the manifestation of what we see as the physical or material world. God created the material world; the material world only created its different perceptions of God. Each day I choose to get myself aligned with the Divine prior to participating in the material world. A […]
