Forgiveness - What a Beautiful Word

Life becomes more precious with every breath; the ah-ha moments that come to us are unbelievable. When we have the time and wisdom to look behind the reasons we think things are, we realize the reasons that they really are, and life becomes the gold medal. Sometimes our lessons can take...

Stop Complaining... Be Happy

Where are you in the scheme of things? Are you lonely, broke, sick, or are you a whiner always looking for a reason to complain? The reason I'm bringing this up is I've watched people in my life box themselves into a corner where they started shutting down, and weren't...

On Your Mark, Get Ready, Go!!! Magic Dust is Coming

People always ask me, are you psychic? My answer is always, well yes I am, but you are too! Everyone is psychic, but some of us don't sharpen those gifts and some don't know they even exist. But now, even for the unconscious this will change. Even for the unbelievers this...

Actions and Emotions

Most of us base our actions on our emotions. This can be good and bad, because we can justify anything we want. Are you visiting family for Christmas? If not, why not? Is it really for the reason you say? Maybe it's a legitimate reason. Maybe you don't have the time off...

Dharma Versus Karma

Lately, I've had conversations with friends and acquaintances around me stating that I'm paying attention to the news more than ever. I'm shocked and sometimes appalled that people are missing GOD in action... It's my own belief (of course) but I think the media in all its forms was created...

Girlfriends Are Important

The friendships shared between girls/women are so important and special that a UCLA study suggests, they shape who we are, and who we are yet to be. They soothe our tumultuous inner world, fill the emotional gaps in our marriage, and help us remember who we really are. We are the...

Behind the Scenes There Is Always God Where It All Gets Done

Just imagine the data that comes across a newspaper desk after you've been publishing for 20 years?

Is the Coming of 2012 Different?

OK, I have to admit the 2012 energy seems to be different than other dates that were suppose to be the "end of times." It seems we are prone to be set-up for another "Fear" that something is going to happen that will have us all shaking in our boots....

I'm a Happy Lady Proud And Accomplished

My Favorite Day Remembering Regrets

May's message from me over the years usually revolved around Mother's Day. I'm a mom, and love that role more than any other. I usually had a story about my own Mother that I'd share, that would spark fireworks for some of you that had mommy drama like me... Over the...

Life Is Too Short

The hundred plus cycle that we currently are alive here on Earth is too short. By the time we're sixty, we just start to figure things out and in some cases we don't want to deal with the immature people that aren't sixty and older yet. You're still young enough to...

How Do We Come Together in a Divided World?

Foundations Set For a New World

I heard when you get older, you sleep less, this is true, I heard when you get older, time flies by, also true. I've heard a lot, and I hope not all, as I never want to say, "Hell, I've heard it all". This would mean life has nothing left...

Thanks-giving -- For What????

August is a great month to connect with our Angels. It seems we have a little more time, and our brains are geared to having more R&R. Summer represents vacations and unwinding from life's drama. Angels aren't airy-fairy at all they actually assist us with every aspect of our lives....

Hello Aquarian Age We Are Changing!

I love news, and I know not everybody does. That's fine, but for me I think it's watching how we grow as a country, as individuals, and also how God is shifting the world. Giving us many opportunities to immerge from darkness into the light. I believe timing is everything...

Venting Through Anger

Obama (does My Idol Have Clay Feet?)

If you have read me before, you might have guessed I'm a political junkie and love politics. I don't know why, all politicians lie and I hate a liar more than anything. But, I love body language and sometimes I think it's a game I play watching the egomaniacs squirm...

Reckless To Salvation

If you watch the news, listen to the radio, or try to stay informed at all, I'm sure you're depressed. The world it seems is going to hell in a hand-basket. If we happen upon good news it might mean that the gas prices dropped under a whopping $140.00 per...
