As Autumn and I were discussing her article, Letting Go of Anger in Relationships, we realized how much it resonated with my own relationship. Our stories may all be slightly or even totally different, but we can all relate to each other once we have an understanding of how we compete for energy. I think […]
“Dear James, What do you do if the person you love has not yet found a spiritual connection or seems to resist the idea completely? How to help the person you are with when they are not on a spiritual path? My question is how do I support a healthy spiritual process for him?” Helping […]
I remember how I felt the year I turned thirty. It was a shock. I had never been able to relate to people over thirty, and it felt strange to suddenly be one of them. When I looked in the mirror, I felt old and young at the same time. I had mistakenly convinced myself […]
Last year was intense in its own way. The spring likely brought big lessons; sometimes karma sweeps us up not to punish us, but to gently wake us and help us see where greater responsibility, self-awareness, or care for ourselves was being asked of us.

We are all learning to benefit from our Spiritual Connection, which means we can “Solve our Problems and Reach our Dreams” in a near miraculous manner! But to do so, we must cultivate our flow of Synchronicity and Intuition and maximize the ordinary moments in life. This is especially true in our work and creative […]
Just when I let go, I entered the flow and began to see I was being led from one lesson to the next, preparing me for the next adventure to come. ~ Amanda Salsman The Celestine Prophecy tends to be a book that finds you only when you are ready to hear its message. For […]
