Beneath My Silence – Awaken Inner Power by Focusing on Solutions – Series

To embody focusing on solutions is to awaken the power of the soul.

Spiritual Insight:
In the face of challenges, those who remain calm and honest are able to perceive clearly and respond wisely.

The one who focuses on solutions rather than problems begins to transform from within. Even a small shift in one area creates a ripple effect, elevating the whole personality.

Embracing Empathy and Intuition

As I prepare to honor 72 years of life on this earth, I continue a tradition of giving myself a gift. Not a gift of a thing, an event, or a place—but a sacred gift.

On the first day of my 73rd year, I will step into a magical twenty-four hours, opening a wide portal to new beginnings and fresh possibilities.

This year’s gift is the way I choose to see myself: as a deeply empathetic and intuitive soul.

I will take quiet moments to reflect on these blessings—my compassion, creativity, depth, intuition, and the unwavering desire to make the world better.

I will allow myself to feel their worth truly.

Standing at […]

Whispers To The Soul – Letting Go to Move Forward: A Life Lesson from Pink Paint – Series

It was one of those still, hot August mornings when the air feels heavy with possibility. I woke with a quiet determination to transform the tiny powder room just off the kitchen.

Aspen trotted at my side, her paws keeping rhythm with my steps, as we set out into the soft hush of the early morning toward Home Depot.

We gathered a gallon of soft pink paint, two smooth wooden mixing sticks, a crinkling sheet of plastic to guard the floor, a handful of fresh brushes, a sturdy roller with its long extension, and a clean, empty pan—simple tools in my hands, yet carrying the quiet promise of transformation, something far more profound than a mere coat of paint.

I stirred the paint […]

Beneath My Silence – Rise Through Life’s Tests by Letting Go with Grace – Series

Inner Experience:
Because I choose to move through difficulties with a light heart and a steady spirit, I pass life’s tests with peace and contentment. I am not trapped by temporary obstacles but uplifted by them. Each situation becomes […]

The Girl Left Behind – The Day I Lost My Mother: Searching for the Memory I Never Kept – Series

Many have asked me about the day I lost my mother, the day my mother passed, but the questions that echo in my heart are not for them. They’re for my family, the neighbors, and the ones who stood closest to the truth that day.

What truly happened to her soul in those final moments?

Why did her journey end so suddenly?

What unseen forces were at play?

I long to understand—not just how she died, but why, and what deeper meaning may lie beneath the silence that followed. The very questions I now carry were first spoken by her sisters, her father, and her mother in the wake […]

Between Two Worlds: A Spiritual Awakening in Fifth Grade

I was in fifth grade when a quiet awareness settled in that I was between two worlds – I hadn’t been living in what most would call the “real world.”

The moment unfolded on a sunlit playground in Los Altos, California, as curious eyes studied me with a mix of wonder and confusion.

It became clear: I was different.

One of the so-called hippie kids—born in San Francisco, raised on intuition, and open skies.

My hair was long, my stepmother walked her path with sacred herbs, and I came into this life with an empath’s gift—feeling deeply, seeing between the lines, sensing what others missed.

That day, I didn’t feel out of place—I felt awakened.

A soul realizing a different rhythm had shaped it, […]

The sacred rhythm of time is one of life’s greatest gifts. The way you choose to spend your days has a profound impact on your vitality and inner peace.

Time offers countless chances to grow, heal, and evolve—but it’s up to you to embrace them.

Instead of fearing time or letting it slip by unnoticed, step into its rhythm. Mindfulness helps you reclaim your days and make empowered choices that nourish your spirit.
