Reflections of Grace

Are you ready to let your light shine? Have you ever felt like you have something special to offer the world, but you’re not sure how to share it? Or maybe you dim your light to fit in or avoid attention. Letting your light shine isn’t about arrogant self-promotion; it’s about embracing your unique talents,

Reflecting on Compassion

Yesterday I shared that we are embarking upon a reflection of our shared journey. Much of what we will be discussing was learned and came to me by revelation during the 11-day odyssey, I’ve been referring to as “My Revival”.  With a goal of aiding your enlightenment as well as assisting us in radiating more

Reflecting on 8 Points of Light

There are times when we seek to move forward that we must pause and reflect. To consider the lessons learned, the knowledge gained and wisdom shared. This is one of those times. While it seems like just yesterday, when we began this walk together, we made it through more than three-years. In our first year

Resolving Rest

Is your mind racing?  Did you feel the need to get busy as soon as you jumped out of bed?  Do you wake naturally feeling refreshed and energized, or do you rely on alarms and stimulants? Is it the third day of the year and you already feel like you’re lagging behind? Or are simply

Psalming Up The Advent of Christmas

Tomorrow we approach another intersection of celebrations. The final Sunday of Advent, falls on Christmas Eve.  Advent is a season of hope, preparation, and anticipation. A time for reflection on the past, to celebrate the present, and to look to the future with hope.  So in keeping with the season, we’ll look forward to the

Psalm Days Enlighten

Today we embark on another day of multiple messages here along our shared path. First we’ll continue our ongoing exploration of Psalm 119 plus we’ll step into the Light and explore more about Hanukkah as it intersects with Advent and how both can better prepare us for the coming of Christmas. Those are our foci,

Restraining Preconceptions

It seems so many at this time are dealing with clouded vision. What should I do? How can that work? What’s the value in that? Who should lead us? Why? However you cannot answer any of these questions if you are not able to allow yourself to see past the walls that either have intentionally

Releasing My Enslavement

The subjugation to suppression, bondage, and duress. In this case not to another person. Not to an entity. Not by governmental action, nor criminal activity.  The enslavement I need to “give up” is to the issues lingering from within, that are holding me captive and preventing me from moving on. That’ll be the focus of

Shining Our Light On Compassion

As I shared yesterday I don’t know what it is about this time of year, however I seem to be experiencing a recurring pattern. Once again, today I find myself traveling on an unexpected “mission”. So what better time than to spend reflecting on illuminating concepts that light the way here on our shared path

Recalling Illuminating Travels

I don’t know what it is about this time of year, however I seem to be experiencing a recurring pattern. Two years ago I had just returned from an extended odyssey, that changed the course of my life and re-routed my perceived post-COVID direction. It was then I first shared some revelation knowledge gained during

Battling Hate

Much like former President Jimmy Carter today I am freely, willing and  publicly confessing my sin. While it’s not the same sin as he admitted to, well at least not this time, it is similar because while I have not acted upon it I have held onto it. So in this “Lenten Letter”,  I am

Releasing Lack

Continuing on with what has turned out to be a revealing Lenten season, I keep thinking back to what someone said to me, when I announced I was undertaking this course of action. When I shared with her it was my intention to “give up” something different everyday for Lent, she exclaimed without hesitation, “are

Preconceptions

There are just nine days remaining in Lent this year. Though that is still plenty of time for you to decide to participate in our ongoing exercise.  Even in secular culture the idea of giving something up for Lent has increased in practice in recent years. Though without the deep spiritual connection it seems many

Other’s Expectations

Continuing on with my personal examination of this Lenten season, this letter is addressed to “They”. Why? Because I have some things to say to “them”. Releasing myself from the expectations of others, is the focus of this edition of “Becoming Today”. Hello “They”, I have had enough. I am saying no more! I honestly

Thank You, but…

Not grammatically the best way to begin however this is one of those discussions full of contrasts.  Weighing all sides, then recalling we are not limited to just two sides of every question, so choosing to examine the perspectives from 360 points of view, the circle continues to spin and my inability to make a

Enslavement

The subjugation to suppression, bondage, and duress. In this case not to another person. Not to an entity. Not by governmental action, nor criminal activity.  The enslavement I need to “give up” is to the issues lingering from within, that are holding me captive and preventing me from moving on. That’ll be the focus of

Indecision

Decisions are something that apparently more than a few people have trouble with. As I often have shared, I belong to the schools of thought that teach,…. What happens when you make a decision? Either it works. Or it doesn’t It always made perfect sense to me, however as we’ll explore on this edition of

Questioning Questioning

There is no question mark required. I am most definitely questioning my questioning. In this “Lenten Letter” I am realizing a connection between several issues I am attempting to ‘give up’. My resistance seems to stem from my denying myself and remaining adhered to false labels and past identities. That will be our focus on
