Today is my birthday. Riding on the Cardinal train to Chicago, I am presented with a gift from the Universe named Frank. A self-proclaimed redneck from Kentucky, Frank comes wrapped in overalls and a black t-shirt with a cross on it that says, “This T-shirt Is Illegal In 51 Countries.” He has a nearly-shaved head, … Read More
Zipping My Lips
As someone who was always very outspoken on the subject of politics, zipping my lips hasn’t been easy. As a minister, it’s not in anyone’s best interest for me to be judgmental. I work with people at the soul level, where we are all the same, and politics no longer ranks in my top ten … Read More
Release And Let Go
We are well into January, and hopefully you’ve set some amazing intentions for yourself. Personally, I have started hopping on the treadmill at 7:30am, while listening to motivational books on Audible. So far I have finished Psycho-Cybernetics and Big Magic and I recommend both of them. I’ve also started learning Italian using a free app … Read More
Authenticity
Aligning my values with my actions is one of the most difficult things I have ever done. It sounds like a no-brainer, but this is work…difficult, gut-wrenching, fear-raising work. We are all at different stages in this process. I remember when I was young and had no idea who I was, attempting to fit in … Read More
For the Love of Guns
I wonder how many times in my life as a minister I will feel called to address a topic that I do not want to discuss. When I receive these messages from spirit, I test them. I will ask, “Must I do this?” I long to spend my time healing others, not preaching to the … Read More
Forgiveness
You have been humiliated, shamed, emotionally traumatized, hurt, or physically damaged beyond repair. For any of these reasons, and perhaps some in combination, you are positive that forgiveness is beyond your grasp. What the other person did to you is unforgivable. You may even deem what you have done to yourself, or to another, as … Read More
The Response To Bad News Is Love
One of my friends called me out the other day. I had posted a video on Facebook about a young woman named Gabriela Andreevska who is helping to feed and direct refugees in Macedonia. “I thought you don’t watch the news,” she commented. It’s true. I stopped that practice over ten years ago because none … Read More
Begin With Belief
In reading the akashic records for my clients, one of the lessons that consistently comes through is about belief. Many people think they believe in angels and spirit guides, but in fact, they only want to believe. There is a difference. When it comes to communicating with your spirit guides and angels, you need to … Read More
Values In Action
Can other people recognize your values? One of my clients was crying to me about her situation. After filling me in on the details, she ended the story with these words, “I just don’t understand how he could do this to me…I’m such a nice person.” Based on what she just revealed to me, she … Read More
The God Shaped Hole
People get confused when they learn that I am an interfaith minister. The Order of Melchizedek, to which I belong, is a healing and service order. I could still associate with a religion of my choosing, if I so desired. Here’s the thing– religion is believing in someone else’s experience of God, while spirituality is … Read More
