Notre Dame
With the burning of a landmark of civilization comes the chance to reinvest in faith. Perhaps a more relaxed and embracing faith, based in love rather than rules. One that we all can easily inhabit. Blessings to everyone connected to Notre Dame Cathedral. Everyone who conceived the idea and designed it. Everyone who built it for nearly … [Read more...]
Hilma af Klint
In March while I was in Portland, I did a reading for an artist who wanted to connect with an artist from the past whom I was not familiar with, Hilma af Klint. Hilma made herself known in the room even before I finished praying. Hilma's first words to her fellow artist were "I am interested in you, too." Her core message in the reading is for all … [Read more...]
Green Lights and Open Doors
Be it a family, a cause, an organization or a government, it is challenging when something we care about is in the hands of unreliable souls or those we disagree with. Lovingly, we can give our angst over to god and the angels totally ("Mother/Father God and angels, I hand over my relationship with ___ to you right now. I ask for the highest good … [Read more...]

How Healing Works
What is it about our bonds, both dear and distanced, that has such a strong impact on our health? Two weeks ago, I was having stomach trouble that was unusual for me. It persisted for a few days until I spoke with my former wife in France, who told me that our cat, Indigo, was not feeling well and described the exact same symptoms I was … [Read more...]
Angels Actively Help Us
I am Grateful for this moment. While driving to Portland in early October, my car started to slide on a rainy downhill curve. I felt the angels guide me and the car quickly back to stability (I knew exactly how to turn the steering wheel). It was frightening and affirming at the same time. I talk to and about the angels a lot, but when they do … [Read more...]

Shame and Radiance
Someone tried to draw me into a drama recently. I tuned in for myself, then asked trusted intuitive friends for their guidance. All of that helped with clarity, but something still lingered, and my mind wanted to chew on it. I went to see the talented therapist I have worked with for many years, who quickly zeroed in on the core issue - shame. The … [Read more...]
Drama and Forgiveness
Drama is exhausting. The ego's job is to maintain the status quo. When something threatens to violate the norm, let's say a change is habit or an evolution, there will certainly be some resistance. This can be internal or in the form of other people. When someone close to you or peripheral attempts to pull you into a drama, a desire to stop or … [Read more...]
Fate and Free Will
The popular HBO show Westworld features robots who are designed to live a life that repeats, living the same pattern over and over with variation but no learning. The drama comes when a software change enables the robots to develop consciousness and use their free will to change their fate. Perhaps the popularity and resonance of the show is in … [Read more...]
Healing Hope / Engaging Wisdom
Last year in April, I visited the Cathedral in Orleans, France, principally because Joan of Arc had been there. As a guide, she regularly shows up in readings and workshops to help people with faith and seeing past limitations. When I walked into the cathedral, she quickly came forward and guided me to sit and do an automatic writing with her. … [Read more...]

Interview on Soul Wash (Heal your History)
Soul Wash Interview with New Renaissance Bookshop: What inspired you to develop your new workshop “Soul Wash: Heal Your History”? Pain. This workshop is a response to all the pain I’ve been witnessing and experiencing in recent times. That pain has taken the form of anxiety. The anxiety is a reaction to our not feeling safe. Our traumas from … [Read more...]

A Post from 2037
A post from 2037: There used to be this group called the NRA. They loved guns more than human beings, so for a while a lot of people died. The big change happened when Americans woke up to the fact that a foreign government was not just successful interfering with US politics and media, but was trying to destroy the country by dividing it. This … [Read more...]

Action to Interrupt Fear
When we drop out of duality - light and dark, us and them - and enter a space of Oneness, there is only light. There is only love. This is the space were global peace is possible. Let's do this for 30 seconds. Maybe longer. Maybe every day. Let's see what happens. Action interrupts helplessness and hopelessness. Fear, … [Read more...]
Angelic Support for Empaths
Many of us are empaths who are accustomed to processing our environments and encounters by taking on those energies. This is taxing on our hearts and bodies, but mainly it leads to the challenge of not being able to distinguish what is your energy and what is not. The solution is in sequencing. Start your day with an angel and a prayer. Simply say … [Read more...]
Patti Smith’s Tribute to Sam Shepard
For those who love words, I am sharing this, as I just read it for a third time. I find Patti's tribute to Sam extraordinarily beautiful, rich, insightful and loving. "We didn’t have to talk then, and that is real friendship. Never uncomfortable with silence, which, in its welcome form, is yet an extension of conversation." "Sam walked to his … [Read more...]
Ram Dass on Our Work Now
I think that you and I are being called upon to do some incredible work, but it is also really demanding work. I think it demands that out of our compassion for all beings and for the future of the earth, we work on ourselves with great joy, and with every single pointed effort. 🕉 The vulnerability of each of our minds to get trapped into … [Read more...]
A Story About Angels at Work
Here is a great story that illustrated how angels work by my friend Rose: Yesterday, at my friend Mark Mezadourian's Friday angel peace and clearing call, we got guidance made out of alphabet blocks. Mine said, HELPFUL TO ALL. Now that could've meant them or me or both, but it didn't feel instantly applicable (as guidance sometimes … [Read more...]
Free mp3 – Post-Election Clearing and Visioning
We worked with the Ascended Master Jesus, who absorbed from us any extra charge of anxiety, anger or fear. We also worked a group of angels and unconditional love. There are some surprises in the recording that are worth experiencing in the moment. Everyone on the live call felt an expansive shift. The recording is 25 minutes … [Read more...]
Modern Enlightenment
I have always loved learning about the sparks of inspiration and insight that lead directly to something new being created. Laurence Olivier based his Hamlet on a young man he saw in a cafe hurriedly drinking a cup of coffee. Bob Dylan wrote his first song, Song to Woody, because he had something he really wanted to sing about and the song didn’t … [Read more...]
Never Stuck
We are never stuck. When we feel stuck, our perspective has shrunk and the truth of who we are is obscured by circumstances or personality - often our own. A question to ask in less than clear moments is "What is being asked of me right now?" The question itself prompts us into self awareness and the answer gets us into action. … [Read more...]
Prayer for Peace in America and the World
Thank you, Angels, for being strong and present with everyone in the United States of America tonight.

Thank you for the peace that prevails in the hearts and minds of each … [Read more...]
Your Spiritual Might
This is the moment for all of us to actively engage all of our spiritual knowledge and skill. Let's not wait for a calamity or a disastrous election. Let's act, not react. Let's use our free will to choose what we want. Let's use our free will to create. In doing so, we interrupt the false idea that we call fate. Nothing is set in … [Read more...]
Our Friend David Bowie
David Bowie felt like a friend. We recognized ourselves in his fearless flamboyance. His expressions reflected the vastness of our interior lives. This made him dear to us, as he honored the weirdness and isolation we all feel. He wrote brilliant songs about us, and for us. Songs that are gifts from our friend - a hot tramp hero with a snow white … [Read more...]
A Prayer for Our Times
"Thank you, Angels, for interrupting, exposing and stopping any and all ideas, plans or actions to harm others in any way right now. We thank you for opening the hearts of all beings into a place of unity and confidence, as we choose to do this ourselves. With open hearts and clear minds, we choose to drop out of fear. We choose to participate in … [Read more...]
We Have a Say
At any moment, under any circumstances, we can let the Universe know what we would like to happen. We have a say. The news lets us know where to direct prayer and intention. Prophecy is a suggestion. Pain is feedback. Our words, thoughts and hearts have sway. Before the 2012 London Olympics, I was participating in a spiritual gathering with … [Read more...]
Where Does Love Stop?
Where does love stop? Where does hate start? Kim Davis, the county clerk in Kentucky who has refused to do her job and issue marriage licenses to gay couples, is being celebrated by a slice of America for choosing to put her beliefs over her duty. The issue here is not about gay marriage or her faith. The issue is hate. She stands as an … [Read more...]
What is Grace?
What is Grace? Grace is the water that cleanses your hands. Grace is the wind that produces sounds. Grace is the surface you walk upon. Grace is a touch that pleases you. Grace is delight. Grace is the feeling of confident contentment. Gravity is grace. You are grace breathing. You are grace smiling. You are grace caring. You are grace … [Read more...]
React or Respond
How much of your day is spent reacting? How often do you find yourself bouncing around like a pinball, leaving you drained, distracted and dissatisfied? We’ve been conditioned to react to our circumstances and our stories. A primary example is politics, which is entirely reactive, often devolving into “You’re stupid!” “No, you’re stupid!”, … [Read more...]

A Prayer for Us
Today, we honor the past by recognizing that we have a voice. With this voice, we choose to speak words of love, words of power and words of truth.

We speak into being today a vision … [Read more...]
This Week’s Affirmation – “It’s OK for things to go well, …”
How do we let life be easy? By focusing your time and attention on what you want to have happen. This gets us into a space of visioning and flow, as opposed to reacting our way through life. It is also recognizing that everyone is doing their absolute best, including you. … [Read more...]
Expectation
Ambiguity and drama dissolve when we take a moment to step out of a story we have created and witness what is actually happening. What is actually happening is that we are loved, supported, cared for and celebrated by the angels. We can expand this celebration and support by being clear about what we want to have happen, but without prescribing how … [Read more...]

Change Is In the Air
Change is in the air for everyone, mainly changing longstanding ways of doing things. It can be quite frustrating when what has worked for us in the past no longer does. What we can rely upon is our flexibility and dexterity. We are naturally adaptable to change, as our lives constantly shift in one way or another. The changes that are here to be … [Read more...]
8 Steps to Coming Out of the Spiritual Closet
What does it mean to come out of the spiritual closet? We have all seen social media selfies of someone holding a crystal with a serene smile and a caption that reads: “I’m enlightened, bitches!! #whitelight #saintgermain #iseethelight #youareallsobeautiful!” Another version is a declaration to your circle of friends and family that you have … [Read more...]

Apathy
Several people I have spoken with recently have expressed a feeling of apathy. This is showing up in these two beliefs: "What I do doesn't matter." and "There is no point in trying to do anything." Apathy is feedback from your soul indicating that you are ready for a shift. We shift by letting go. Going to the next level of consciousness will … [Read more...]
Care and Harm
Have you noticed how agreements with ourselves and others are being broken? Now is the time to allow old habits and patterns to recede into the background, and welcome new methods and perspectives to come forward. We have an opportunity to be fresh in our approach to different aspects of life. For instance, if we look at our lives in terms of … [Read more...]

Daydreaming and Focus are Good for Your Brain
"Your social networking should be done during a designated time, not as constant interruptions to your day." The New York Times published this article by Daniel J,.

Anecdotes and Experiences
Starting this Tuesday (August 26th, 2014), the singer Kate Bush is presenting 22 concerts in London, her first shows since 1979. A few days ago, she issued the following statement: "I have a request for all of you who are coming to the shows : We have purposefully chosen an intimate theatre setting rather than a large venue or stadium. It would … [Read more...]
Ferguson, Missouri
The presence of violence and weapons in our world is a reaction to fear. The action we can take is to vision. To visualize a world without aggression or weapons. To me, that is practical. What is impractical is the status quo of "They have guns, so I need guns to protect myself." That is a story. Can anyone defend the presence of guns in the … [Read more...]
The Gift of Acknowledgement (for Robin Williams)
In 2001, I attended an event in which Robin Williams was being interviewed. Eventually he abandoned the formal interview and began to brilliantly improvise for the audience. We were all in tears from laughing. His genius was astounding. At the end of the program, he came down to the front row, where I was, to greet us. He was very humble as he did … [Read more...]
Worry
Worry is a reaction. It is old information recycling. Focusing on what you want interrupts this cycle and replaces it with new information (What you actually want to have happen). This action brings peace and moves us into action. Interrupting worry is not something that we are taught. We are taught that worry is good. We are praised for it and … [Read more...]
Ending Violence by Visioning Peace
Written on December 18th, 2012 in response to the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting. Guidance to make a change comes to us repeatedly until we take action. When we don’t heed the guidance, The Universe brings it up again, perhaps in more noticeable ways. The magnitude of the events of last Friday have got everyone’s attention. At this precise … [Read more...]
The Art of Non-Attachment
June 30, 2010 When grace appears in our lives, we take notice. It can come in the clarity you see in someone's eyes when they speak words of truth from a completely ego-less place. We notice because in the presence of their non-ego, our own egos have no place to go. We become available to listen. Non-attachment is this grace. In the core of … [Read more...]
Dropping Into Your Heart
March 5th, 2013 Have you noticed instant manifestations in your life recently? The speed in which our thoughts are becoming experiences presents us with the chance to not only be mindful, but to notice what is real and what is a distraction. Old thoughts, beliefs and experiences can be placed in the distraction category. What happened in the … [Read more...]
Make Room for God
June 7th, 2013 What does it mean to make room for God? It means that you are willing to acknowledge your experiences and manifest beyond them. It means that you interrupt the familiar beliefs that are in the forefront of your thoughts & conversations and allow something different - something unfamiliar, yet welcome - to happen. It … [Read more...]
