I never imagined I could become the happy learner because I was so addicted to holding grievances and to being bothered by things.

It never occurred to me that I could possibly really become that happy learner.

But A Course in Miracles shows us the way. In Chapter 14, Section II, it says: “When you teach anyone that truth is true, you learn it with him.”

That’s what happens when we join together—we quicken our learning.  We teach each other.  Everyone is our teacher and our guru is within.

The Purpose of My Life

Here’s what helped me see it correctly: It’s really the purpose of my life to remember the truth and value the truth. I used to value the story I made up so much I could hardly see anything else, and now I see that interest is fading away. This is a time of great quickening, if we desire it.

I understand what a leap it is to say, “Thy Will be mine,” and to say, “I’m willing to give up all my attachments to everything in my life.” I understand how frightening that can be, but it’s only frightening because we perceive it as it’s going to make us unhappy.

We Don’t Have to Do the Unlearning

But we can never be content with illusions and delusions. Jesus says in Paragraph 6: “If you would be a happy learner, you must give everything you have learned to the Holy Spirit, to be unlearned for you.”

We don’t have to DO the unlearning. We just have to be willing to have it unlearned FOR us. That’s the miracle!

With the year coming to an end, this is the perfect time to give all those old lessons—the painful ones, the grievances, the stories we’ve been telling—to the Holy Spirit to be unlearned. Why carry them into another year?

The Practice Spirit Taught Me

I love that we don’t have to do the unlearning. I’m so grateful.  We just have to be willing to have it unlearned for us. So this is the practice that I started using all day every day.

Spirit taught me: just give it to the Holy Spirit for healing.

“Holy Spirit, take these thoughts out of my mind. I’m no longer interested in them. They’re no part of me. I don’t value them anymore. I won’t think them!”

This is the heart of what we practice in my Masterful Living Program (which starts January 3rd) and in my Free Forgiveness Workshops—becoming happy learners together we give the heavy lifting to the Holy Spirit.

Join us in my Masterful Living Program in 2026 – this is where we’ll do this transformational work together. Or start with a FREE Forgiveness Workshop (next one is Sunday, Dec 7)  where you’ll learn the exact practices that can heal your heart and your life.

The patterns stop with us. If you’ve been carrying decades of pain in your relationships with your mother, daughter, or sister—the resentments that won’t let go, the silence that feels permanent, the wounds passed down through generations—this is your invitation to freedom. Join me for Mother, Daughter, Sister: Spiritual Healing for Ourselves, Our Family & the World, a powerful 4-part transformational series where we’ll work at the level of mind to heal what feels impossible to heal. I’ll share the same spiritual tools I used to transform my relationship with my mother before her transition—tools that create quantum healing because all minds are joined. When YOU are willing to change your mind about yourself, about them, about the past, miracles ripple through your whole family. You don’t need them to change, apologize, or even participate. Your willingness is enough. NOW STARTING Thursday, December 4th Let’s do this together. 💜

NEW ACIM PODCAST EPISODE:   The Night Gratitude Saved My Life, In this Thanksgiving week episode, I dive deep into Lesson 195, “Love is the way I walk in gratitude,” sharing how gratitude became my game-changer long before I found A Course in Miracles. I tell the story of how I learned there’s no way to wish punishment on another without experiencing it myself because we’re in “instant karma time.” True gratitude makes no comparisons and no exceptions—we’re grateful for ALL because we’re separate from no living thing, and when our forgiveness is complete, we’ll have total gratitude, seeing that everything has earned the right to love by being loving.
