Narratives, once they take root, become strongholds within our minds. It matters little whether the foundation of that story is truth or falsehood. We align our perceptions and experiences with the story, and it colors our entire reality. If I tell myself you are my enemy, nothing you say or do will ever register as... Continue Reading →
Father I am human now
Perhaps this was the first prayer I uttered as spirit, newly clothed in a human body. I entered this earthly existence, leaving behind my true form and awareness. That prayer was my declaration of trust, knowing I would now experience limitation instead of the clarity and boundless freedom I once knew. As spirit, I was... Continue Reading →

Are you living inside your head?
Living too much in my head wasn't serving me. Back in 2016, I realized there must be a better, more authentic way to understand reality than through the constant chatter of my mind. I longed for a deeper connection โ with myself, the world, and something greater. I asked God, the Universe, the Holy Spirit,... Continue Reading →
I am THIS, not that.
When asked "Who are you?" or "What do you do?," we often rely on familiar labels to answer. We might describe our family roles, gender, occupation, race, nationality, beliefs, values... anything that defines us within a particular framework.

Does it feel like the end of your world?
Sometimes our fearful and limited mind perceives and interprets situations we face as being 'world ending' or 'soul crushing'! Despite our best efforts, there seems no way out and no silver linning in the cloud. Depression and anxiety can feel like this too. The darkness, the pain and the anquish is real. But there can...
