Something to Know About Jesus

In ancient hermetic philosophy, there are seven universal laws.   When one’s consciousness is in harmony with these laws, one’s life seems to be in balance.  Some people make these laws their religion, but for me they are tools to help me better understand my connection to God and the Holy Trinity.  My life is only…

What’s an Empath?

It wasn’t until I was in my forties that I discovered Dr. Judith Orloff’s books. According to the self-assessment test (link below), I am a “full-blown empath”. Once it became clear that there was not anything actually wrong with me, everything was different. It was brighter. I understood so much more about myself and was…

Prayerful Meditation

When Jesus’ disciples asked him to teach them how to pray, he taught them what we now call the Lord’s Prayer. However, he preferred to pray in solitude and often went off alone to do so. This practice has become my preference, too. Simple, unscripted, honest conversations with God are precious to me. Once I…

What Will Today Bring?

I’m rather excited today. For Christmas, a friend of mine gave me a gift certificate for a reading from a Galactic Advisor. She thinks I’m a star seed and I’ll finally learn which star system was my home before this earthly existence. I have very interesting friends. Even if you don’t believe in such things,…

Darling, Just Be Real

I live with my family in a small, New England seaside town. It’s very quaint and pretty. For years I had dreamed of living in such a place. Other teenage girls had posters of Bon Jovi on their walls. I had maps of Boston. Then, at a time when I thought all was lost, God…

Internal Kindness

I had to go to therapy to learn how to be nice to myself. Before that, I didn’t realize what a horrible friend I was to me. I went above and beyond for everyone else, but when it came to me…well, pfft. I was indifferent. It’s like I just didn’t care at all. If anyone…

Let This Sink In…

The more I discover, the smaller I become. The more I learn, I realize how much more I will never know.

An Unexpected Encounter

In the area where I live, new age spirituality seems to be trendy these days. I am not trendy. In fact, I have always actively gone in the opposite direction of what is popular. Tolerating followers is not in my personal handbook. However, I am also not on the same wave length as traditional religions…

Inspiration for the New Year

“Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it…” ― Wilferd Peterson I want to send sparks…

Kindred Spirits

In my line of work I talk to a lot of people and the conversation always turns at least a little bit personal, sometimes very personal. It’s not the line of work where one would expect that to happen regularly, but it does. Maybe that’s because I am an empath. People tend to naturally open…
