“India will teach us the tolerance and gentleness of mature mind, understanding spirit and a unifying, pacifying love for all human beings."  - Will Durant   India has a way of announcing itself—not quietly, but with a spiritual fanfare that wraps around you like a sacred embrace. My arrival here held that same magnificence: drums of energy, vibrant color, warm faces, and a sense that something ancient and holy had opened its doors to let me in. But the body, dear ones, tells

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” - Abraham Maslow   There is a moment on every spiritual path when the road beneath your feet becomes unfamiliar. The heart whispers go forward, yet the mind clings to what feels safe. Fear wears many masks. Sometimes it announces itself loudly, and we know without question that we’re trembling inside. Other times it creeps in quietl

"Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway." ~ Mother Teresa   Eight days have passed since I arrived in Egypt, and much of that time has been spent upon the water. Though the movement of the waves challenges my body, my soul is learning a deeper lesson — one that speaks of surrender, trust, and authenticity. I have always felt most grounded with the earth beneath my feet, yet here I am, floating between heaven and earth, learning to be at

Sunset over Lake Nassar Egypt “Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.”  Isaiah 25:1   Each day here in Egypt is an adventure. Today, we began cruising on Lake Nasser – the largest manmade lake in the world. As I stood on the upper deck and watched the sun rise higher in the sky, my soul thrived. I have watched many sunrises in my lifetime, but this one was pure magic. La

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”  John 14:27   Today’s journey carried us from the constant hum of Cairo to the quiet stillness of Abu Simbel, and the contrast could not be more striking. Cairo vibrates with energy that never seems to rest—cars honking, people weaving through the streets, the rhythm of life pulsing in every direction. Yet, as our small plane touch

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” ― Ursula K. Le Guin   The countdown has reached its final tick. Bags are packed—at least as packed as they can be after multiple attempts and second guesses. My heart beats a rhythm that sounds like wings preparing to take flight. In just a few short hours, I will board an airplane bound for a distant land, carrying with me not only the message of peace but the vibration of every pr

“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, Albert Einstein, etc… “  Unknown   Another sunrise, another sacred opportunity. This quote is a divine reminder that time is not our enemy—it is our canvas. What we choose to create upon it determines how brightly our soul shines in this lifetime. Excuses delay our spiritual growth

“Today’s excuses are tomorrow’s regrets dressed in disguise.”   Steven Furtick   Another day, another miracle! Once the dam of divine flow bursts open, the blessings just keep pouring through. Today began simply enough — a routine oil change for the Angelmobile — but turned into yet another reminder that God’s hand is in every detail. When I arrived at the dealership, I was told something I hadn’t known before: my oil changes are free for another year! Some might brush that o

"That inner voice has both gentleness and clarity. So to get to authenticity, you really keep going down to the bone, to the honesty, and the inevitability of something." ~ Meredith Monk   As I sit in reflection today, I am deeply aware of the sacred rhythm unfolding in my life. In just five days, I will be boarding a plane that marks the beginning of the International Peace On Earth Tour. Those words still bring tears of gratitude as I say them. What began as a whisper in my

"Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got." ~ Janis Joplin   These words by Janis Joplin echo through my heart like a gentle wake-up call. How often do we hand over our power to someone else’s opinion, approval, or expectation? We compromise little pieces of ourselves — sometimes so subtly that we don’t notice until we feel hollow inside. We were created as divine expressions of love, unique and whole. Yet the world teaches us to fit in, to dim our light so others wo
