Last week, I found myself at a table with two other parents like myself, who have children with special educational needs. We were talking about how something so small--a smile, a kiss, the meeting of eyes--can take on immense importance when it is a rarity. While we were sitting there, one of my friends got …
A Little Bit of Wisdom
It’s about the choices you make. It’s about who you support and why. If you are in a limited way of living then it is you who pays and feels horrible. The highest choice you could make is to honor yourself and choose yourself and your good stuff. Often we choose to help others but …
How to Become a Saint
By Elana Hernon I had joined an online meeting some time ago, and I remember one of the participants asking the spiritual leader/teacher how to become a saint. The teacher said it was egotistical to think that way. I think differently. If a desire to be a saint is in your heart and it is …
Why Do We Exist?
Why you have been placed with the individuals that surround you in your lifetime, if not for your own and for their growth and greatest joy and perfection as souls? This is the goal of all existence, to fill ourselves with the joy and bliss of being. To know the absolute is to limit; but …
Ride the Waves
Emotions are like a storm, but you are the sea, wide, endless and full to the depths.

The Power of Your Thoughts
You are far, far more than the eye can see, Dearest One. You are a creator, the creative force itself, and your thoughts are the most important manifestations you bring to life. This is the Truth of your existence, and all that we collectively experience is the direct result of the choices each of us makes. Once …
You Know Who You Are
A Meditation Imagine for a moment that you are a single spark of light, floating in the vastness of space. Your light forms a halo around you, and you are bathed in it, cocooned in light. You know only the quiet and a vast, endless feeling of safety and serenity. You are swaddled in the …
Putting it All Together
The last two weeks, I’ve been thinking a lot about my life, the choices I’ve made and why everything has come together as it has. A conversation a week ago drove it all home: showed me that all the events I’ve lived, all the people I’ve come into contact with and the relationships that have …
