“Real gratitude cannot be forced. It is the fragrance of possession. You do not give thanks for a meal while still hungry and staring at an empty plate. You give thanks when the meal is already yours. When you can smell it, taste it, feel the satisfaction of it. Thanksgiving is not a technique. It is a state.” Neville Goddard I have been a student of Neville Goddard for some time now. I honestly do not remember how or exactly when I discovered his teachings. I only know th

“When we are peaceful, when we are happy, we can blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh I remember the day Thich Nhat Hanh died. I remember crying because it seemed as if a light had gone out in the world as the life left his body. My mind knew that he was still alive spiritually, yet that knowledge did little to console my heart. I had listened to his teachings for years and resonated deeply with

“Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.” Matsuo Basho Today felt surreal in so many ways. There was a tremendous amount of energy moving as we took time to honor our beautiful Earth and intentionally send love deep into her very core. At different moments throughout the day, I found myself simply wanting to stop. To sit. To breathe. To take it all in. And perhaps that was exactly what I was supposed to do. It was my birthday, which made the day even more

"We are all living in cages with the door wide open." — George Lucas What a powerful image. A cage with the door standing wide open, yet we remain inside. How many times have we felt stuck in some area of our lives? We feel trapped in a job that no longer brings us joy, a relationship that has run its course, a financial situation that seems impossible to change, or circumstances that leave us wondering how we got here, and how do we get out? Sometimes the cage is not even

“My life is my message.” Mahatma Gandhi What if we woke up every morning remembering that our life is speaking before we ever say a word? We are constantly sending messages into the world. We send them through our words, our actions, our choices, our attitudes, and even through the energy we carry into a room. Every interaction becomes part of the message. Every response, every act of kindness, every moment of patience—or impatience—reveals something about who we are choos

"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." — Dolly Parton Sometimes God does not remove the storms around us. Sometimes He simply guides us right down the middle of them. Today I left my friend Debbie and headed back toward Boulder, Colorado, where I will be for the next month. As I loaded the Angelmobile, a few raindrops began to fall. “Oh great,” I thought. Driving in the rain is definitely not one of my favorite things to do, especially

“There is no wealth but life.” John Ruskin Life is so interesting with all its twists and turns. Just when we think we understand the road ahead, it curves. Just when we think we know how something is going to unfold, Spirit reminds us that there is a much bigger picture than the one we can see with our human eyes. For almost six years now, my life has been a living lesson in trust. When I left everything behind to begin the Peace On Earth Tour, I did not have a detailed p

“Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict.” William Ellery Channing Is there a single soul walking this earth who has never met conflict in some form? I don't believe so. Struggle seems woven into the very fabric of being human as a companion none of us asked for, yet all of us carry. The angels have a gentle habit of nudging us to "lighten up," to release the weight we so often place on ourselves. And yet, how much ha

"The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness." — Lao Tzu You are here. Right now. In this moment. Living this human life. Somewhere between infinite timelines and the eternal Source, there is you—breathing, choosing, loving, learning and walking your particular path through creation. Perhaps your life is not small at all. Perhaps every loving choice sends a ripple through creation. Perhaps every act of compassion ma

“We are not given a good life or a bad life. We are given a life. It is up to us to make it good or bad.” Anonymous Every life begins as a blank space, filled with possibility. There is something miraculous about realizing that each new day places a fresh canvas before us. Yesterday may have left some marks. There may be colors we wish we had never chosen, lines we would like to erase, and places where the picture did not turn out anything like we imagined. Yet today, the b
