What a year it's been, eh? From the pandemic that has altered life as we know it all over the world, to political and social unrest in the United States, to devastating wildfires here in my home state of California, 2020 has been a doozy. If you had told me in March that the next…
Everyone's journey, or as I like to call it, souljourn, is awaiting to be embarked upon. Every single one of us has a life purpose, a life path that was created for us the minute our soul was birthed into creation. Yes, Every.Single.Person, including you! Your Divine assignment, if you choose to accept it, is…
"While I breathe, I hope." This year has brought enormous challenge and change.

Over the past several days, northern California has been pummeled with heavy rain and wind. Streets are littered with tree branches and other remnants of vegetation unable to withstand the battering winds. Swollen creeks and overloaded storm drains leave behind mud and debris. All in all, it’s been a mess, however much needed in our…
As 2016 comes to a close, I have found myself doing what many do this time of year. Christmas is over, and a new year approaches, along with new possibilities, new chances to better ourselves, and a renewed hope for the coming year. For many, myself included, 2016 has been a tough year. For me,…
Wisdom traditions teach that we attract what we put out into the Universe. I have, in the past, been somewhat skeptical of the Law of Attraction, simply because it never seemed to really work for me. I consider myself a good person, with generally no malice or ill will toward people. I help those in…
Have you ever felt as though God does not hear your prayers? Jesus says "ask and it shall be given to you." So why do some prayers seemingly go unanswered? Well, they don't. God answers each and every prayer and petition, it just may be that the answer is "no," or "not just yet." …
