NEW BOOK!Where Are You Lord?:
…A guide for weekly whispers of wisdom Some days can seem just ordinary. We awaken at a designated time with a head full of tasks, have-to and what ifs. We might check our phones and devices, getting info for the day that ranges from the weather, stocks, politics, and messages to “Alexa, turn on the coffee pot.” Somehow, this probable routine has become normal. Somehow, this may be how we prepare for an ordinary day with the intent that we might be ready and safe to greet the day with some level of pleasure and success. All this actually sounds reasonable. However, it only takes one traffic jam one late bus, one unexpected phone call, one breaking news alert, and this seemingly reliable system can easily crumble into dust carrying all positive goals and expectations with it. We would falter into distractions, upsets, frustrations and fatigue before noon, because of “something” or “someone” that knocks us off our purposed day and all without warning. Uncertainty bubbles up everywhere. Local and global news are filled with violence and upheaval on a regular basis. We are bombarded by the media on all our tech devices, and we now are even further conflicted with what has been phrased “Fake news.” We have access 24/7 to split-second, ongoing information, yet we don’t really know what is valid and what isn’t. We may feel the media, government, philosophies, dreams, goals and faith have all failed us. Whom or what can we trust? We do our best to analyze, understand the rapid pace of present lives, and somewhere deep inside we perhaps all want similar goals. We desire peace, prosperity, healthy bodies and relationships, and the opportunity to make some dreams come true personally and professionally. It all sounds reasonable. However, the biggest challenge may be how to bridge what we desire from inside our hearts with a world outside that feels often unsafe, biased and unfair. If we have ever tried to make clear sense of our lives, we probably have said, or even shouted, “Where are you, Lord?” Regardless of the mood we were in, asking or praying this plea may have mostly resulted in more quiet tears and confusion. I say this from my own experience. In fact, this missive is the result of my own confusion, pain and earnest desire to know the truth of God on a daily basis. I used one guiding Light based on one single truth: “Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all things will be given to you as well.” (Matthew 6:33) I wanted to know and feel a reliable relationship with God that was not slanted by my ego needs or imagination. I wanted to trust His truth, and then be guided to live with a practical spirituality that was rooted in joy, love, peace and wisdom that could serve everyone. This book is my personal encounter. It is not meant to be blindly accepted or rejected only shared. Each reader is encouraged to find his/her own way, so to speak. These pages are meant to provide a practical way to hear the inner Voice that is within all of us and to learn how to trust it and follow it. This inner Voice is always a gentle whisper of love and peace. It is steady and unwavering. It is reliable. It is permanent.

Insights, Secrets, And Private Prayers
The journey of life! At times, it can seem to be such a trite phrase. It can be an overwhelming and underestimated grouping of words that almost always stirs our senses, philosophies, faith {or the lack of it}, self-worth, and values, including our pleasures, pains, fears and wounds.
That said, what is it? Is it a planned course with planned stops, curves and detours? Or is it a randomly conjured road that gets readjusted with each choice we make? What will we do when we get there? Or even worse, what if we never get there? Who’s in charge? Is life undecided or destined? These are inquires that most of us have explored along the way. Certainly I have! I have asked, demanded, prayed and pleaded for these answers. In fact, this book is an account of just that. This reading is a journey of 365 consecutive days of my life as I reflected and made journal entries about my daily experiences. It is a year’s collection of poems and dialogued journaling with God. May these sincere expressions gently soothe and urge you to pray more and more boldly than ever before. I pray you can be lifted as you read by the grace of God so that you can reclaim your sense of safety in life once again. May you feel blessed as you read everyday. May you feel loved. |
Who Would I Be If I Weren't So Afraid?
Dissolving and conquering fear is not only possible but a pathway to reclaiming your true identity and personal power, just as God has originally created you to be. |
Direct Your SELF: How to Release the Twelve Power Lessons of Your Soul
Do you ever notice that sometimes you feel on top of the world – in charge, powerful and in the “zone” – and that sometimes, in a fraction of a second, you feel insecure and almost “unglued”? Then later on, in a quieter moment, you find yourself examining the experience over and over. You may even repeat silent murmurs, such as “What’s wrong with me? Which one is the real me? Why can’t I ever seem to stay grounded?” These questions commonly plague our emotional, mental and even physical layers. We may seek help and medications with perhaps moderate results. Somewhere during this internal strife, we may even proclaim, “When and how do such insecurities end?” The answer to these struggling behaviors can be achieved when we clearly identify who, what, and where is the REAL SELF. Although many have sought to find these realizations, perhaps their searches did not go deep enough. The root answer is always way beyond the layers of personality traits, emotions, beliefs and behaviors. The root is in the soul, the place where our being touches the infinite expressions of all possibilities, seen and unseen. The origin of the REAL SELF is the soul. It is the boundless sanctuary of God’s Identity as it flows through us. Right there, in the core of being, lies all personal power just waiting to be released with every breath we take. This journey book defines the path to the Power Place and how to release the Twelve Lessons that are stored within the soul. As these lessons are discovered and satisfied, healing, balance, stability and true confidence become the natural expressions of our daily lives. Decide to go deeper! Release your true SELF! Then – and only then – will you be able to direct your SELF! |
