I’m getting ready to leave on our two week Camino Adventure this coming Friday. The whole group of us is excited and looking forward to our time together.
I can tell you that there would have been a time, years ago, when I would be apprehensive about going on a trip like this. I didn’t really understand it at the time, because the reason for my feeling anxious was carefully hidden in my mind.
What I know is that I would have been judgmental and difficult. I would have gotten into disagreements with people and pushed because I needed to be right. Sometimes I could be obnoxious and temperamental. The constant judging and criticizing, the complaining and trying to control would have made things unpleasant for me and the others.
My inner insecurity would lead me to try to prove that I was always right and therefore we should do everything my way. It was very unpleasant for me, but I didn’t know how else to live my life. I made it unpleasant for others and I alienated people.
Now, I have no such worries or concerns. I’m not at all that personality I used to be. Thank God, for real.
LONG gone are the days of my constant complaining. Back in the day when I really didn’t understand spiritual principles because my understanding was intellectual and not in my heart I was a fault finder..
I didn’t live the Love.
I didn’t walk the talk.
I didn’t even realize what I was doing – not truly – not clearly.
I was paying lip service to spiritual teaching while in my mind I was judging, attacking and complaining..
I used to be in near constant complaint mode. Continuously criticizing and judging EVERYTHING! It was relentless. I felt so right all of the time. Everything around me was wrong. The people were wrong, wrong, wrong. It was as if my full-time job was judge, judge, judging all that I saw.
I had no idea that I was addicted to thoughts of separation.
I had no idea that I was delusional.
Now, I can see so clearly there’s a difference between being ALL IN for Love and having an intellectual understanding of spiritual principles that I THINK I believe, but don’t actually live.
The difference is the Love that I feel.
The difference is the Peace that I feel.
The difference is my personal level of happiness.
AND most importantly to me, the difference is in whether or not I can be truly helpful to others just by the way I live and move and have my being in the world.
Back in the mid 1990’s I made the decision that I was going to lift my consciousness to the level that I could walk into a room and my vibration would raise the vibration of the whole room. I knew it was possible and that became my goal. The reason is that I knew I could and it felt like my divine duty and spiritual purpose.
My parents were social and political activists. They were community activists. I learned a lot about the joy of being of service to others and to the community. I’m sure it’s part of why I picked them to be my parents.
For me, being of service is my sweet spot.
Back in the day, I’d be of service to feel validated. Now, I don’t need that validation and people don’t even need to know that I’ve done anything. I don’t need appreciation or recognition, I can simply be helpful and feel fulfilled. I feel so blessed that I’ve found my calling and I get to live it.
I cannot tell you how differently I feel every single day and how grateful I am that I found the keys to unwinding the addiction to the separation thinking. My experience of life is SO different now. I live without significant regrets, embarrassment, resentment, and I don’t fear anything of substance.
I can actually fully enjoy, Love and embrace my loved ones without judging them.
I wish I could fully convey what a difference these spiritual practices have made in my life.
I went from feeling like these teachings worked for others, but not for me to feeling like I’m succeeding beyond my wildest dreams!
I went from feeling frustrated because I just couldn’t figure it out to ROCKING my healing – and that’s what I wish for you too!
And, yes, I still have judgments, complaints and criticisms that come up for healing, but I don’t get involved in them and they don’t distract me from my purpose.
My healing didn’t come magically.
It came as a direct result of my spiritual practice.
I’m still experiencing more of my own healing every single day. I’m intending to keep going until I fully awaken from this dream. Awakening is my goal. I’m ALL IN for this life of healing.
Back in 2008 I got so excited for how quickly my mind was shifting and the difference that it was making for me and my family that I decided to put what I was learning about truly living A Course in Miracles into a bootcamp class for others to experience what I’d been experiencing.
For the last 16 years, I’ve been thrilled to share this healing journey with people who have had even far more miraculous healing than I have. Families that hadn’t spoken to each other in more than a decade reunited. Couples who were ready to sign divorce papers, deciding to renew their vows instead. Financial healing, emotional healing, career healing – all kinds of healing in my Finding Freedom From Fear spiritual bootcamp based on A Course in Miracles principles.
And what’s more, all of the people around us are also experiencing healing and transformation.
What is the healing that you would like to claim for yourself and your family?
Are you willing to be ALL IN for your own healing? You don’t have to know how, you just need to be willing. Your willingness is ALL that’s required. That’s the teaching of ACIM and it’s true. When YOU prove it, then you will know.
Ultimately we WILL all choose to be ALL IN. That day WILL come, so why wait? Today IS the day!
I Love you and I thank God for you. We bless each other with our willingness to rise in Spirit and come back into our right minds. Together we truly are answering our call to BE the Love. YES!
Let’s make a quantum leap together. If you’d like my help developing a spiritual practice of Self-care that clears out the old patterns of past beliefs in order to move out of the unconscious guilt and punishing yourself, blaming others, living like a victim or a martyr, feeling guilty and ashamed, and into feeling more connected with Spirit, please check out my Finding Freedom From Fear Spiritual Bootcamp class – it’s designed to be a rocket booster for your spiritual journey.
If you feel you’ve been holding yourself back and letting fear decide, this might be your answered prayer! If it is right for you, you’ll know. Trust your intuition!

LATEST PODCAST EPISODE! The most recent episode of my podcast’s topic is Healing and the Changelessness of Mind. All throughout ACIM, we’re given clear direct insight as to how to undo the ego attachments and drop the ego mind training so we can lead happier healthier lives. In this episode, I share some key teachings that we can apply so that we’re no longer walking around as the unhealed healer.
