When we pass neighbours in the street and we’re asked how we are, it’s often easy to say “I’m good, thanks,” and offer a smile, even though, at a core level we may be feeling low. It’s certain that human life will bring trauma, and we may be given a few days off work to […]
When I say, “Spirituality,” I am not talking about the decision to “believe” in God or not. And clearly, not as some old image of a bearded man sitting on a throne in the sky (an icon skeptics love to disparage). To enhance one’s life, I am talking about connecting and downloading a loving, tangible force […]
I have always celebrated Christmas. In fact, as a young child it was, hands down, my favourite time of the year. Over the years, in line with the culture in which I was raised, I’ve carried on the traditions that my grandparents and parents modelled. To me, Christmas meant family gatherings for which we made […]
Gratitude has become one of the most commonly recommended forms of self care and while I, like many others, have heard about gratitude journals, gratitude stones, and daily gratitude practices for years, I didn’t really believe it would work until I experienced it for myself. In theory, the idea of staying grateful for what we […]
Every year or two I make the pilgrimage to St. John’s Island, South Carolina. I make this journey for several reasons, not the least of which is to visit the ANGEL OAK. St Johns Island is hard enough to find, located south of Charleston in the “low country” (meaning swampy wetlands) along the Atlantic coast. […]
As I write this, I’m very conscious that if I’d undertaken this activity centuries ago, I would have most likely been hanged or burnt at the stake for the words I’m about to document. I’d have been seen as a witch, a heretic, crazy, and perhaps even a danger to society. But thankfully the year […]
Home. Such a small word, yet it is full of so many big meanings. Each of us has a unique definition, a set of requirements that come together to give us that sense of comfort and ease. It can mean anything from the physical structure of a house to a hometown, a homestead to a […]
In the early days of writing The Celestine Prophecy, I had many people telling me the project was impractical, even foolish. They declared that I was wasting my time when I should be looking for something more realistic. I agreed to some extent, of course. Writing a novel is always a gamble. But all the […]
I first heard of people receiving white feathers as spiritual messages twelve years ago, and after years of beautiful experiences (which I’m unable to explain with science), I feel I can testify that, yes, we do receive feathers in the most extraordinary circumstances. And, I agree that these feathers are being sent as messages from […]
How does “giving” change our lives within or our journey in this world? It is a payoff– built into the system. As you give, so you receive. Giving creates the miracle life because Synchronicities are little miracles. And as we give to others and provide miracles for them likewise miracles will happen for us. We […]
