Last night I attended a service at The Little Chapel in Paradise Valley here in Arizona. Sara O’Meara and Yvonne Fedderson, the co-founders of Childhelp, officiate at this place of serenity where people of all faiths join together in worship and to receive healing. During the healing portion of the service, Sara walked over to a woman sitting behind me, who I’ll call Janet. Sara had intuited that Janet believed that God had left her out of His healing grace. Sara stated that Janet had difficulty trusting God because of past experiences with people around the issue of trust. Sara reassured her that God had not left her out – she just needed to trust Him a bit more. My heart resonated with what Sara was saying to Janet, and as Janet got teary-eyed, so did I. I did not grow up in a trusting environment and I can see how that could carry on into my conception of God, especially with the way things are in my life right now. I need to trust in God more, to have more faith. The issue of physical vision came up for a number of people and it seemed that all of … Continue reading →

Spurred by news received in some personal emails and today’s entry in Science of Mind Daily Guide, I am reminded to see the face of God in everyone and everywhere. I still have my logical streak in me, so here goes: If God is all there is, then everything is one. If we are one, then all that we encounter is part of the One.Our neighbors, our children, our pets, our computers, our work, our gardening, our car accident, our refrigerator, our house, our drinking issue, our peace, our joy…These are all part of the One and each of us owns them, for we are them and they are us.There really is no separation, only Oneness. We are all one. And, so we are all in this gig together. May I remember this so that I am always reaching out my hand and heart to my fellows, whether they are in pain or in joy. I’m reaching out to me too at the same time. Let us share all of Life – together, as the One we truly are.

Dear Father; Please show me the channels through which we should expect Your abundance to flow through us, and please remove any obstacles within in me that prevent me from receiving Your good. I ask that You remove all defects of character that stand in the way of my usefulness to You and to my experiencing peace. May I forgive all who I think have trespassed against me and shower all with love so that we can all go Home to You together. Amen

I’ve long looked at Valentine’s Day as a day to celebrate not just romantic partners but platonic friendships too. This viewpoint may have originated at a time when I wasn’t involved in a romantic relationship, as a way to feel a part of this holiday. – ya know, maybe receive some cards! But truly, I was on the mark with this notion despite what my level of consciousness might have been in those days. Today I celebrate and am grateful for my dear friends. And these days, I have in my world my Life Partner, Twin Flame, and Husband (ooo-eee!) –yes, all in the same fella- in the form and spirit of Rog. What love and joy and healing he has brought into my soul, or perhaps awakened what was there in the first place. I love him and our life partnership dearly and am so very blessed and grateful that Spirit hooked us up together 4½ years ago. Today’s a great day (every day is of course) to take the time to acknowledge outwardly and/or inwardly our love and gratitude to our fellow travelers – we are all part of the Divine One. Here is an excerpt from today’s … Continue reading →

I read the following Sufi prayer this morning on the Beliefnet website. What a great way to start the day! Invocation to the Dawn Look to this day, for it is Life, the very life of Life;In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence…the bliss of Growth, the glory of Action, the splendour of Beauty. For Yesterday is but a dream,and Tomorrow only a vision;But Today well lived makes Yesterday a dream of Happinessand Tomorrow a vision of Hope. Look well, therefore, to this day.Such is the salutation to the Dawn. – Kálidása Source: Sanskrit text
