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, […]

Beneath My Silence – Radiate Your Light: The True Meaning of Spiritual Service – Series

True spiritual service is to radiate your inner light through everyday actions.

Spiritual Insight:
Many wish to uplift others, often searching for grand gestures or visible acts of service.

But the most profound service begins within—by recognizing and expressing the divine qualities already present in the soul.

When we bring love, peace, and wisdom into even the simplest of tasks, we naturally uplift the atmosphere and those around us.

Series – Whispers To The Soul – The Opportunity of a Lifetime: Embracing the Gift of Conscious Living

The Opportunity of a Lifetime ~ Embracing the Gift of Conscious Living

Of all beings, we are gifted with breath and awareness—translating life into sacred expression. A few rare moments have offered me a view so awe-inspiring that it reminded me how miraculous it is to exist as a conscious soul in this vast world.

The human path is a sacred journey of the soul.

I feel blessed to be in this time and this place, alive in ways I know I have taken for granted. In this place, in this breath, I feel the grace of being alive in ways I once let pass me by.

What will you offer this day?

With what spirit will you walk?

What truths will you seek, and from […]

Understanding Anger and Boundaries With Compassion

Anger is often a veil, concealing deeper emotions like fear, hurt, sorrow, or unworthiness. We’re often taught that spiritual practice is meant to eliminate anger—that it must be transformed into compassion and calm.

But what if anger isn’t something to silence or resist?

What if it holds sacred meaning?

Instead of seeing it as an unwelcome emotion, we might begin to honor it as a trusted guide—pointing us toward unmet needs, unspoken truths, and places within us that are ready for healing.

When anger arises, pause—and look within.

You may find it rooted in disappointment, shame, or a wound longing to be seen.

Anger often rushes to assign blame outwardly—but when we pause and look within, we may discover that a boundary has been crossed or […]

Beneath My Silence – The Power of Spiritual Courage – Series

True spiritual courage is the soul’s power to create gentle transformation—even in adversity.

Spiritual Insight:
The one who walks with faith—in the self, in others, and the Divine—moves through life with quiet strength.

Courage is not the absence of difficulty, but the ability to grow through it. When courage is present, change flows naturally, even in the most trying of circumstances.

Inner Experience:
With courage, I release complaints and regrets. The weight of the past no longer binds me. Instead, I remain grounded in the present, trusting that each challenge is a step toward greater clarity.
