“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” Isaiah 43:18 How do I know if I am fighting a battle that is not mine? Am I trying to control someone or something outside of myself? I have said over and over that I am the only one that I have any control over. When I forget that and things start getting hectic, the angels always help me to remember that fact. I only have control over myself – my thoughts, my words and my actions. When I am focused on anything or anyo

“Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal and new life.” — Janine di Giovanni Easter has always carried a sacred whisper through the ages—a reminder that no matter how long the winter, spring will come. It is a celebration not only of resurrection in the traditional sense, but of the quiet, personal resurrections that happen within each of us. There are moments in life when everything feels still… or even lost. Dreams fade, plans shift, and the path ahead seems uncle

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." — Thomas A. Edison For four years now I have published a book each year that is a compilation of angel messages channeled nightly. I have developed a routine of organizing the messages to make it easier to transfer it to the book template. After doing this for a few years, my expectation was that this one should be a breeze. Well, the angels had a different plan this year. They wanted the book divided into pa

"Live out of your imagination, not your history." Stephen Covey There is something sacred that happens when we pause long enough to listen to our own words. Have you ever noticed how often the past slips into your present conversations? Stories retold. Wounds revisited. Moments replayed as if they are still unfolding right now. This is the human experience—learning how to release what has already served its purpose. For many of us, letting go of the past is not easy. Hur

“Permit yourself to change your mind when something is no longer working for you.” - Nedra Glover Tawwab There have been many moments in my life when I have been called “stubborn.” In my travels with Auntie Jean she once told me that I was the most stubborn person she knew and I said the same about her. We would often laugh at ourselves and the shenanigans we got into. Sometimes we said it with frustration… and sometimes with admiration. If I am being honest, I can see both

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” - Maya Angelou There is such deep wisdom wrapped inside these simple words. They remind us that life is not about perfection—it is about growth. It is about becoming. I have made my fair share of mistakes in this lifetime. Moments when I truly did not have all the pieces of the puzzle, yet I moved forward anyway, doing the best I could with what I knew at the time. Looking back, I can see how

“Peace of mind is clearly an internal matter. It must begin with your own thoughts, and then extend outward.” – A Course In Miracles How often do we tell ourselves that peace will come later? When I am financially stable, then I will have peace of mind. When my kids are grown, then I will have inner peace. When I retire, I can finally focus on peace. These thoughts seem reasonable on the surface, yet they quietly place peace somewhere in the future—always just beyond our re

"The values a man must cherish as his life-breath are: Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non violence." ~ Sathya Sai Baba There are moments when I pause and wonder how humanity drifted so far from the simplicity of these sacred values. Truth. Righteousness. Peace. Love. Non-violence. Five principles. Five ways of living that, if embraced collectively, could transform our world overnight. They are not complicated philosophies. They are not buried in ancient texts that re

“It’s not your job to like me, it’s mine.” –Byron Katie Liking myself was a lifelong project. There were years when I would look into the mirror and immediately turn away in disgust. The reflection staring back at me did not match the person I wished to see. Instead of seeing possibility, beauty, or strength, I heard echoes — the voices of words spoken long ago. Words can linger in the mind like shadows on a wall. Verbal wounds cut deeply. Whether spoken by others or whisp

"If you could feel even a particle of divine love, it would be so overpowering that you could not contain it". Paramahansa Yogananda There are moments in life when words feel too small for what the heart experiences. I remember the first time I truly felt what Paramahansa Yogananda described as a “particle of Divine love.” It was not just an emotion. It was a presence—warm, expansive, and so full that it felt as if my heart might burst open with light. It fills the soul to
