This week was an odd one. Friday was the weirdest day of them all.

I am practicing loving everything that is and most particularly any emotional response to what is coming up from within me. This practice prompted me to be far more aware of daily transitions from one thought, emotion, task and interactions between them. I’ve been observing my insides, outsides, and perceptions. And this was what my Friday looked like:

I talk a lot about the place outside of the comfort zone where life is alive and beckoning. I loved reading about the comfort zone itself and this quote captures the energy of it well. Zing. I, like all of us, LOVE comfort. I do. And yet there is very little comfort in our external world right now and spiritual people since the beginning of time have learned that comfort or safety or peace is internal. And sitting in comfort is different than a living in its zone. The zone is saying that comfort over engagement, living, and risk has become a stuck place and contributed to smallness and entropy. For comfort is a known place, a static place, and NOTHING that is in physical form is known and static. Everything is always changing. And, I get it. I have also experienced times of little to no comfort and that too has its own issues.

That which is of God is real. That which comes from the teachings of Jesus and the inner Christhood, is real. That which is NOT of Love, is not of God, as God is Love. They are synonymous. John then says one of my favorite things. He says that love casts out fear AND fear is full of punishment.

Now, as our government is being torn apart, uncertainty is in the air, and craziness is happening, I find myself making another commitment, a different commitment, one of fortification. During Covid the commitment was to what was essential. My commitment now is to strengthening my multi-dimensional selfhood to be prepared to live through an unknown that is friendly — remember, God lives in the unknown.

AND, the understanding that Faith and fear are both found in the invisible realm. They both are inside jobs. So after each purge I rise again committing to my spiritual practice. I increase my Self talk and each morning I remind myself that Miracles happen everyday, they are plentiful and I look forward to seeing them. I continue to practice gratitude, and I made a list of 33 Things that Restore and Uplift our Vibration. Click here to receive your downloadable copy.

I can hear his voice in my ear saying”you don’t want to give your Power to worry, doubt and fear…Oh No, you don’t want to engage in circumstantial living.” I must have heard the phrase “circumstantial living” over one hundred times before I realized what it meant realizing simultaneously that was exactly what I was doing. When I was happy, life was GOOD. When I was having a bad day, life sucked and something was wrong with me, God, or someone/something else.

In every spiritual center I’ve led, I’ve brought the practice of Day of the Dead to the community building altars to the deceased and remembering the eternal nature of Love. This year I brought myself to Mazatlan to participate in the ritual first hand.

We were given one exercise in the Death and Dying class that I was unable to do. We were to take the names of the three people we were closest to, write them down, then turn them into the teacher. He would pronounce them dead. My parents had just divorced, and like all major emotional tsunamis I was left to figure it out and process myself. Adding death, even imagined, to the puzzle was too much for me and yet Life’s timing isn’t mine to control. Studying death head-on opened my curiosity aperture wider.

The advisors and I wanted to bring a spiritual practice to the Center that would be practiced daily so by the end of the year individuals can look at their lives and see how they have changed and grown.

I have never become complacent with the idea that everything is alive and moving and that everything begins with an idea. In the Judeo-Christian tradition it is said that God spoke things into being coming from thought. You and I do the same thing.
