Having an open heart allows us to make the most of any situation, so that … [Read more...]

Synchronicities and divinely timed signs are some of the most powerful manifestations on our paths. When we have the awareness to recognize them for what they are, they provide confirmation, guidance, encouragement and insights.

While they don't mean anything to others, they do mean something to us. One of my … [Read more...]

Absence enhances the experience... It was an overcast day all day... Then just as I stepped outside for a Nature walk, the sun appeared at the horizon below the blanket of clouds and my oh my did it look even more radiant!!!... A blazing orange colour with pink hues... bathing the trees in a golden light...

When I couldn't go outdoors, I would spend hours just looking at books filled with … [Read more...]

What does this mean for us?... At every given moment, our energy is interacting with everyone else's, and … [Read more...]
