When I look back in order to learn even more from my past, what I see now is what I didn’t see then. I didn’t really get that I was the one standing in the way of my happiness, my awakening and my Freedom.
Well, okay, there was the issue I had that I truly believed that there was something wrong with me that made me ineligible – and that “something,” what ever it was, was permanent and beyond my ability to fix. That’s what I believed and I believed it because I didn’t wish to pay close enough attention to my insights and awareness. I was unwilling to give up my judgments about myself and everyone else.
I was willing to pay the price and forgo happiness, awakening and Freedom because I didn’t believe they were possible for me. I was on THAT hamster wheel of thought.
I was afraid, and insecure, but I ignored it. I did my best to look beyond it and find a way to blame the world for my unhappiness. I’ve learned a lot since then.
Now, I know that these painful patterns can be undone so much quicker than we could ever imagine.
All fear disturbs our Peace, and fear is born of our perception, our judgment, our opinion – every time.
A Course in Miracles tells us, “Do you recognize the fear that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge what lies so far beyond your judgment you cannot even see it?”
What’s real, perfect, and magnificent is our true identity and that is far beyond this moment. Our real existence is in the eternal now. And that’s what’s true. We’ve left there, but only in our mind. And we can get back, with our willingness.
One of the things I’m loving seeing in the world now is people stepping UP, and standing for Love and Light – I see it all over the place.
The media might focus on the darkness, but when we’re interested, we’ll see how much Love and Light is shining now in this world.
My prayer is this: Let truth be revealed and Love prevail!

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Healing the Habit of Self-Attack. Whenever we go to attacking another we’re completely blocking any possibility of having true happiness and Joy. It’s completely in our power to live a happy life, but we do have to truly live A Course in Miracles. In this episode, I shares how tp put the pedal to the metal on ending self-attack and the motivation to do so. Your happiness requires the end of self-attack. Our happiness is available now!
Vote with your heart! If you’re a citizen of these great United States, I hope you’ll feel inspired to vote. If you’re not registered, you can easily register to vote online here: https://www.vote.org/register-to-vote/ Let your voice be heard because you’re here to represent God who sent you. One thing to know: Who you vote for is private, but whether you vote is public record – so if you don’t like getting phone calls, door knockers and such, once you vote they won’t be reaching out to you. If you’re someone who sends money to support your candidate, encouraging people to vote early will save time, energy and money candidates spend trying to reach them.
