Reading or listening to God's Word helps me stay focused on that Higher Power that keeps me grounded and in the present moment with a sense of tranquility.

Some helpful tools I practice to remind me during the day of God's promises are:

--I listen to audio messages by spiritual teachers on my phone while I do housework or go out for my walk.

--I read and repeat throughout the day inspirational and uplifting messages, quotes and verses found in the Bible, A Course in Miracles or other spiritual material I've written on index cards I carry with me.

--I raise a prayer to God

--I look for things to be grateful for and express them out loud to hear myself

These practices help me quiet the fear thoughts and the "what if" questions that arise.

We are all in this together and with God.

Blessings.

I need this reminder over and over. When all seems well and life is regular, I may forget about God (but I don't); when life gets rough and scary....I hold on to dear life to these promises so I can return to peace. Let us remember we are never alone. For a moment, place your hand on your heart, close your eyes, breathe deeply and ask God to guide and protect you and all of mankind. Ask. Be still and then on one a day at a time. The answer will come. Blessings!

This Is a World of Ideas

A Course in Miracles teaches that this world is an illusion, it's not real and so it cannot harm us, unless we place belief in it.
We made this world when we thought we could separate from our Creator.

We believe this is our home. But it's not. This world is a projection of our fears, thoughts and beliefs. Individually and collectively.

It is a world of ideas. For years it has been difficult to wrap my head around this concept. But with practice and an open mind, the thought has made it's way into my awareness and suddenly it seems to make sense.

"Thoughts increase by being given away.
The more who believe in them, the stronger they become.
Everything is an idea.
How, then, is it possible that giving and losing can be meaningfully associated?"

What if we opened our minds to this possibility and began to be in the world and project ideas of abundance, love, peace, healing (instead of lack, fear, attack, defensiveness)???

Food for thought.

The Importance of Slowing Dow and Reconnecting to Self

Being semi-retired and a stay-at-home wife/home administrator has given me the opportunity to focus much more on myself. I actually enjoy taking care of the house and the details that went unattended to for years because of my successful 40-year career as an Administrative Professional.

Raising 3 children and working full time definitely left very little time to focus on myself. I did my best over the years to fit in exercise, enjoyment and most of all spiritual inner work (my passion).

At some point I decided to follow my calling and trained as a coach and ordained minister. I now work from home and am much more at peace with time to dedicate to knowing myself.

Sometimes I get that sense of wanting to be "busier" and do more. But no, I am learning to slow down and focus on what is truly important to me this stage of my life.

I share my light, work with clients, facilitate coach and ministerial training, workshops and even officiate ceremonies. At my own pace.

My priority is serving, being present, self-knowledge and awakening.
