Today’s the day, and NOW is the time. The concept of “some day” in the future, is an old paradigm that we can put aside now.

I LOVE this new year! It makes me so happy to feel this global energy of rebooting into the opportunity of this new year.

I’m completely STOKED for this new year opportunity we have to turn the page, to wipe the slate, and begin again. I’m so glad to let the past go.

As an A Course in Miracles student, one of the great benefits of this mind-training is that we learn that ALL suffering comes from looking at the present moment through the lens of the past.

I can recall how my mind was obsessed with anticipating experiencing the hurts and pains of the past, in the future. I would go into many situations and conversations, expecting to be disappointed.

Think about this: an expectation is a disappointment waiting to happen.
Well, what about when your expectation is that you will be disappointed?

In my case, the expectations were met, I WAS disappointed, and then I’d have that self-righteous feeling of “I knew it all along. This world cannot be trusted.”

“This world” was completely showing up for me just as I wished it would, but I didn’t know it.

I was learning that most potent lesson of response-ability.  I am responsible for what I see and everything is just as I wish it to be.

I believed that there was something wrong with me and life proved it to me day in and day out.

I gave up that belief and life began proving to me that I am perfect just as I am and I no longer needed any expectations and certainly none about being disappointed.  Paradigm shift.

We can actually drop the false beliefs.
We can hand them over to the Higher Holy Spirit Self and liberate from the pain of the past.

It does take real effort to give up our attachments to our view of the world and our view of ourself in this world.

And, it is SO worth it!

Sometimes it feels to me that one of the great blessings we have, and don’t take full advantage of, is leaving the past behind, for GOOD. For our own good, we can let the past go.

We can lay the burden down, but the trick is to NOT PICK IT BACK UP AGAIN.

Sometimes in our classes or on retreats, people begin to feel disoriented in their lives because their beliefs are changing so fast they aren’t sure who they are anymore. When they lean on the Higher Holy Spirit Self, there’s a recalibration that happens and a quantum leap of consciousness goes with it. It’s so beautiful.

Then there’s no sliding back.
There’s real progress.
There’s true healing.
And we begin again from this new place. Yay!

It’s like climbing a staircase of mastery.
The real work happens not in the leap to the next step,
the shift happens when we incorporate our leap into our life.
That’s the path of mastery.

I love this day of starting anew.
I love to take the entire first month of the year to really get clear about my direction for the rest of the year.

It’s so valuable to take the time to relinquish that which no longer serves, to take stock, to consciously choose what our life is going to be out. I’ve been doing this for more than 25 years and it’s been tremendously helpful to me.

People often remark to me that they’re amazed at how much I accomplish. Well, it’s not because I’m special or a super woman, it’s really because I’m clear about my intentions, aspirations and goals.

I put real energy and effort, time and attention into being clear so that I’m not investing my precious energy into negativity, or into things that don’t support my spiritual goals as well as my life goals.

And I LOVE it! It’s fun for me!

On our own, it can be really challenging to hold a vision for our life. And that’s why I like to gather people together so we can hold the vision for each other and with each other in community.

We rise together.
And it works.
We ARE miraculous!

Power of Love Ministry, the non-profit I founded in 2013, offers many free forms of support, including classes, my ACIM podcast, and daily inspiration, daily prayer and much more. We also have our Masterful Living community which has grown out of my year-long class that I started offering in 2009.

I never imagined I’d offer Masterful Living a second year. And now we’re starting year 17. Amazing!

This community is extraordinary.
We are doing the deep forgiveness work of forgiving ourselves for having built a false identity of being not enough, and unlovable. This year we’re putting a special focus on letting go of victimhood.

We’re forgiving ourselves for projecting our belief in unlovability, sin and punishment onto our precious brothers and sisters.

We’re looking at the most intense patterns of separation and we’re FULLY releasing them and releasing a flow of Love in our lives that spreads out over everyone in our life and transforms them as well.

We’re changing our mind about the world and watching the world change around us.

We’re incredibly courageous, and here’s why:

Every single one of us, when we began, we believed that we would fail.

Almost every one of us – including myself – believed we would fail, that we didn’t have what it takes and we couldn’t succeed because we were weak – but we ventured forward anyway.

This Saturday, I have my New Year Reboot class. It’s a foundational class for everyone in Masterful Living 2025 and part of the curriculum, but you can join us if you’re interested in doing this work with us. It’s a chance to get a taste for what we’re doing this year.

In my New Year’s Reboot class SATURDAY January 4, I’ll be inviting you to decide what your focus will be for the year.  Pick something that seems impossible, and then put Spirit in charge.

How about picking spiritual awakening as the goal?

Our job is to hold the vision and ALLOW it to unfold. This is a mind-training. We can’t get there with just wishing and hoping. We can only do this if we let Spirit do the heavy lifting of figuring out HOW.

Are you ALL IN for this extraordinary year that is the road rising up to meet us? This is the year of HBO – Highest and Best Outcome! Willingness is all that’s required.

MY BEST PROGRAM EVER – Masterful Living 2025 – Registration is open.   Don’t miss out!  Click here now to learn more.
Remember you can book an Exploratory Call with one of the spiritual counselors to discuss any questions you have about Masterful Living and that’s a free call!

LATEST ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Family Transformation. What a blessing it is to share our healing with our family and our ancestors. This is true liberation! In this episode, I share my experience of recognizing the path of healing I’ve been able to share with my family and even my ancestors. Transmuting these patterns of dysfunction is a great blessing in our lives. This is our work to do and when we’re willing the Higher Holy Spirit Self will do it. We are entitled to miracles!
