The Divine is about unconditional love; some might even say it is unconditional love. Unconditional love includes understanding, acceptance, and wise boundaries.

[Gratitude] Thinking Positively
A number of years ago, I did a forty day practice of labyrinth walks. Based on the astrology of this month into next month, I feel called to do a practice of gratitude, based on the theme of the day, for the next 40 days. The themes are based on a kabbalistic formula that I…
[Monday Message] Worry about now
Worry happens, at least for some people. Worry is a form of anxiety, which is a fear of the future. It is a tool of the Negative Ego to take us out of the present. You do have some flexibility and control, however, on where you focus your attention. At least if you focus on…
[Monday Message] Best Bet for Happiness
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us. -Helen Keller One of the many reasons it is important to stay present is that it allows us the opportunity to be happy. If you…

[Monday Message] Be Heyoka, the Sacred Clown
Comedians, at least the good ones, are the modern day fool; they take on the role of the Heyoka, the sacred clown. They get you to look at things in a different way, to recognize the absurd in everyday life. It is their role to offer us the possibility of changing the world. I think…
[Monday Message] Creating Distinction (and issues of neurodivergence)
In 2007, I wrote the entry for today’s message on creating distinction. That was before I really understood about neurodivergence, although I am, myself, neurodivergent. The series of posts about doom boxes pictured here brought to my attention that (a) I have tools for dealing with my clutter and (b) those tools don’t really work…

Every human being has the potential for greatness. Be great. You are a child of God, a spark of the Divine, a co-creator of the Universe. Who are you not to be great? What makes you think you aren’t great? Let’s make sure you are in acceptance of who you are and aren’t suffering from…
[Monday Message] Experiential Learning
Behavioral science has shown that experiential understanding is the best way for us to grasp a concept. Theoretical learning that is not applied is not fully understood. We learn by doing, by experiencing, and by teaching others. We are interactive beings. From Spirit’s point of view, without the third-dimensional experience of being here, we would…
