After thirty years of teaching Inner City, Special Education students and forty-five years of metaphysical studies, I have decided to share my life's philosophical understandings on this wonderful website. For me, everything in my life has been a spiritual experience from being raised in an alcoholic household, to marriage and teaching, and finally caring for an Alzheimer parent. I have sought at least fifteen, personal psychic readings to try and assist me as a wife, teacher and caretaker. I want to share the wisdom that I have gained from following the valuable spiritual guidance from my inner knowing and from heeding the advise of channeled answers from trusted psychics. At almost 70 years old, I am writing, traveling and enjoying retirement in Florida.

Balancing Act

Focus on the positives. What are you grateful for? Be grateful for your body and this human experience but do understand that it is not the fullness of who you are.

The body is, in fact, programmed to make you notice the negative. This is a survival mechanism from days of old.

Before you grow old, may you recognize this, and honor it for keeping you safe, but do not allow it to keep you from also seeing the immense beauty and goodness all around you.

Balance, dear one, and thrive.

You are so very loved.

You Are Always Free To Choose

Life is very full and so it should be. Life is very exciting and there is never a dull moment when you are following My instructions step by step, for as you do so a whole new vista will open up before you.

The way will be made very clear when you choose to follow it.

Remember you are always free to choose, it all rests in your hands which path you take. I point the way but I do not force you to take that way. But when you truly love Me you will want to take it no matter where it may lead to, because you know I will guide you along the right path even though it may appear to be a very strange path.

Obey My still small voice and let Me use you as My instrument to bring about My wonders upon this earth.

Adjusting Our Mental Attitudes

“First of all, it is important to understand that failure feelings — fear, anxiety, lack of self-confidence — do not spring from some heavenly oracle.  They are not written in the stars.  They are not holy gospel. Nor are they intimations of a set and decided ‘fate’ which means that failure is decreed and decided.

They originate from your own mind.  They are indicative only of attitudes of mind within you — not of external facts which are rigged against you.  They mean only that you are underestimating your own abilities, overestimating and exaggerating the nature of the difficulty before you, and that you are reactivating memories of past failures rather than memories of past successes.

That is all they mean and all that they signify.  They do not pertain to or represent the truth concerning future events, but only your own mental attitude about the future event.  Knowing this, you are free to accept or reject these negative failure feelings; to obey them or take counsel of them, or to ignore their advice and go ahead.

For if we react to negative feelings aggressively and positively, they become challenges which can automatically arouse more power and more ability within us. We can gather additional strength within us if we react aggressively rather than passively.  You can accept negative feelings as ‘challenges’ and perform even better!”

Psycho-Cybernetics, Maxwell Maltz M.D., pgs. 236 – 237.

You Have The Capacity

“You have the capacity to let it go. Letting go takes a lot of courage sometimes. But once you let go, happiness comes very quickly. You won’t have to go around searching for it.

Imagine you’re a city dweller taking a weekend trip out to the countryside. If you live in a big metropolis, there’s a lot of noise, dust, pollution, and odors, but also a lot of opportunities and excitement. One day, a friend coaxes you into getting away for a couple of days. At first, you may say, ‘I can’t. I have too much work. I might miss an important call.’

But finally, he convinces you to leave, and an hour or two later, you find yourself in the countryside. You see open space. You see the sky, and you feel the breeze on your cheeks. Happiness is born from the fact that you could leave the city behind. If you hadn’t left, how could you experience that kind of joy? You needed to let go.”

When In Turmoil

When in turmoil, what is your best tool? The same as it is at any time, dear one:  awareness.

“But I am always aware!” you declare, and there you err. You may be aware of frightening sensations, and you reach for the nearest sedative, be it in pill form, liquid, or something edible and delectable. This is understandable when you are not committed to awareness.

With the latter, you focus on breathing like the ocean—wave after wave without pause, and suddenly you feel more peaceful.

With awareness you begin to pay attention to the thoughts and actively choose those that more effectively support yourself instead of tearing yourself down.

And with awareness, you begin to identify more with the part of you that neither tears down nor builds up, but is strong and courageous in the awareness that it is an eternal soul, here for the adventure.

You are so very loved.
