Joy is Going Viral

SOS THIS

 

It certainly makes a great deal of sense since that if viral infections are born out of bitterness, anger and lack of joy flowing throughout life, this virus is running rampant.

There has been so much bitterness and anger flowing throughout society for the past few years.

The joy which once freely flowed has been being slowly replaced by disappointment, annoyance and irritation, fueling anger and bitterness, wouldn’t you agree? And that has created a perfect, or ideal breeding ground for our current state of affairs. Read More


Indwelling Power

At a time when uncertainty and fear appear to be near all-consuming, many feel as if they have little if no control, on any outcomes. Although that may be the feeling, it could not be any further from the truth.

There are steps you can take to position yourself in control of your life and relieve some of your stress. Practicing kindness and compassion are on the top of the list – no one or no pandemic can strip that away. Loving one another and keeping in close contact with friends and family is another way and is guaranteed to nourish your soul. Holding a ‘best of possible outcomes’ vision in your mind’s eye and in your heart is a sure-fire way of contributing to the greater good. Choosing healthy foods will fortify your body and immune system.

This Spiritual Mind Treatment, as outlined in Dr. Ernest Holmes book, How to Change Your Life, can be recited and provide you with a positive sense of control and well-being; if practiced. Read More


Tidings of Comfort and Joy

Do you find yourself waxing sentimental when the ‘season of love and giving’ comes rolling around each year? Are you missing that ‘someone special’ and feeling as if your holiday will be inconsequential, incomplete, without their presence?

My memories of holidays gone by are bittersweet. Christmas was my most joyful holiday until the year my mother, Leah, died. It was tough enough to deal with her death which was tragic and ‘out of the blue’, but having it occur two weeks before Christmas hit me hard. I can still to this day, hear her reminiscing about Christmas being ‘our’ favorite holiday.

Set Your Table to Include Your Loved Ones

The holidays are fast approaching and your ancestors and loved ones in spirit long to participate in your family gatherings. I am reminded time and time again of their need to be acknowledged and to be ‘a part of’.

They, your loved ones in spirit, strive to make a connection with you – some do, many do not. I give them credit because they never relinquish that ‘spirit’, they never give up trying. Take comfort in the knowing that they will never give up, no never –not until they connect and communicate with you.

I am also told you can make it a great deal easier for them to connect with you if you tune in and surrender your skepticism. Simply give the possibility of connecting a try. Read More

Hallowed Help

Witches and goblins and ghosts, oh my!
Make sure you sleep with an open eye.

You will want to make sure that you will see,
The souls of your loved ones who will visit thee!

All Hallows’ Eve, when the veil between the world of the living and the dead is the thinnest, making accessibility that much easier, is not the only ideal time for spirits pay a visit. Sure, the energy is ripe for connecting; it’s electrifying, exciting and inviting, if I do say so myself, but it’s not the only time to connect.

Any day, night or day, any season, is an ideal time to reach out, connect and communicate. I can vouch for the willingness and readiness of your loved ones; I sense their desire to spend time with you. Often their desire feels like an imperative. Read More


Numerical Positivity

Seven, eleven, 15, 17… numbers in general elicit my child-like curiosity. I add a string of numbers together and look up their meaning. I save the slip of paper from the deli-counter* and look at the number when I return home, I see messages in numbers on a license plate – you name it, I am intrigued by them and I always need to know the interpretation of that number.

Years ago I purchased Doreen Virtue’s book, Angel Numbers 101, and to this day, I constantly refer to it. Recently I found myself thumbing through the pages to look up the number 25, as a friend of mine was celebrating an anniversary. The angelically guided meaning of the number 25 stated “As you go through major life changes, expect the best and your optimism will be rewarded.”

This immediately brings to mind advice I received during my first AA meeting, over two decades ago…“If you never have expectations, you will never be disappointed.” I’m not sure the angels are suggesting that with their guided meaning of the number 25. Read More


Bona Fide Independence ~ Booyah!

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results.” *

 

If there is any truth to that quote then there are a high percentage of people in this world who could be categorized as insane. Would you agree?

The more you keep repeating the same patterns, the less your life changes and the deeper the hole in which you live becomes. What is a person to do?

If you wonder why your life hasn’t changed for the better, or why your current situation hasn’t improved, you may want to consider evaluating your current behavior, or taking a different approach to the way you do something. Have you ever stopped to wonder why you may be stuck in an endless loop or why you feel as if you are out of options?

Resurrect Your Own Life with Help from the Afterlife

What is the afterlife, you may be wondering. Merriam-Webster defines it as “an existence after death, a later period in one’s life.” Dictionary.com defines it as “a future life, the later part of a person’s life.” I define it as ‘life after life, from life in the physical form to life in the spirit form’. Some refer to the afterlife as life on the ‘other side’.

Janis Joplin* believes there is no such place as ‘the other side’. How would I know what Janis Joplin believes? I know because she told me so. Yes, Janis contributed her own ‘take’ on success to the many stories included in my book The Spirits Speak on Success. Janis believes there is no such place as ‘the other side’ and goes on to say “the other side is not really the other side – we are very much with you on your side – we are simply in another form – free floating, transparent, energy without matter. We are all one, and we cohabitate together. It is not the other side; it is this side without form.”

Is the afterlife a place or a state of being, or both? Read More


Express Thyself ~ Don’t Repress Thyself

Are you aware of the fact that We, the People, are in the midst of a revolution and your participation is needed? Can you feel the electrified energy calling you forth?

Opinions and thoughts swirling around us are so plentiful it is difficult to maintain a sense of balance, let alone a sense of humor, or decorum.

What do you do in the midst of strife, differences of opinion and the perceived dismantling of our ‘norms’? How do you maintain balance, keep yourself in ‘check’ and find levity in the moment, while simultaneously expressing your opinions and speaking up for yourself, if you are, in fact, self-expressing on a daily basis?
