When I began writing Awakened Faith, I wasn't setting out to study the Lord's Prayer. What I knew was that I felt called to write. At the time, my mentor and guide, Susan Anthony, was looking for someone to help put her teachings into a book. The timing felt synchronistic. I thought I was writing a book. What I didn't realize was that, beyond what I was learning from Susan, the book itself would begin teaching me. I began noticing signs, synchronicities, and experiences that

There’s a classic story about a young spiritual seeker who was excited to advance to the next level of his training. He eagerly approached his mentor, asking when he would be ready for the next initiation. The mentor smiled but said very little. The seeker returned another day to ask again, only to find a different student being called into the next initiation by the same mentor. But instead of celebrating, the older initiate was pleading not to go. The seeker was confus

She was here before the neighborhood was, wisdom planted in the midtown neighborhood in the form of a silver maple. She towers over all the rest of the neighborhood trees, her limbs as large as small trees themselves. I asked her her name when I bought the house, and she told me she’s called Ellen. To me and many of my clients, she’s the most amazing healer, bringing us peace and soothing pain. On Thursday in the middle of Holy Week, an ice storm coated the area in glass. I

This week is Easter week, and I have been thinking about the crucifixion, and the incredible example Jesus showed us when he said, “Forgive them Father, they know now what they do” as he’s on the cross. In that moment in the pain, the betrayal, the suffering, he chose love. The same is true of Mary Magdalene, though her “crucifixion” happened differently. Her path asked for the same surrender, the same staying, the same devotion to love in the face of what could not yet be

Years ago, I attended a business training where the speaker had us do the “5 Whys” exercise. The point of the exercise was to understand why we were motivated to work the business and to ask the question “why” 5 times to move past the obvious answers and dig deeper. When I followed the question all the way down, my answer surprised me a little. Peace. I wasn’t looking for greater success or more recognition. I wasn’t looking for achievement in the usual sense. My soul wan

I woke up at 4 am and couldn’t sleep. The room was quiet and dark. I stared at the wall. An ache was gathering in my chest and in my throat. A deep sadness. Heartfelt compassion. Grief. I know how trauma has touched my life and the healing that I have done to feel whole. I can only begin to imagine what it is doing to those who have been violated, their whole lives taken from them. No choice. No protection. Treated as if they don’t matter. Story after story unfolds in

Sometimes there’s a voice inside us that sounds critical, anxious, afraid. It might say, “Hurry up. You’re behind. Did you see the mistakes you made?” A softer voice responds, “You’re safe. It’s okay. You’ve done enough.” Did you hear it? The truth is, there is always a moment — sometimes small, sometimes quiet — when we get to notice which voice is speaking. That awareness is a doorway. It helps us understand ourselves and how we move through the world. It shows us which inn

In your darkest hour, when the world feels like it’s collapsing and you are fighting a battle all alone, a circle of cosmic mothers encircle you bringing strength, love, and compassion. Whatever feels like your fault... Whatever someone told you you did wrong... Whatever battle cry still echoes in your body… They do not judge or correct. They do not see your errors as who you are. They stand as witnesses to your inherent goodness. They share nurturing peace. They help you

Did anyone ever tell you? We are creator beings. We are a conversation. A living breathing conversation. Beyond our bodies, beyond our minds, we are energy, frequency. We aren’t just exchanging words, but signals. Tone. Timing. Silence. Resonance. There’s a continual exchange between our inner world and outer world— a continual echo moving through each of our relationships, whether it’s with a person or with something, like money and time. We are energy in relations

It’s as if it’s a secret. What we really are. The signs are everywhere—hiding in plain sight, in symbols, in the way the world moves around us. And still… nobody tells us. Not really. Yet the truth is written in our cells, and when we are still, the code surfaces. It reminds us that we are not these bodies. We aren’t the stories we tell ourselves. We are stardust and angel wings infused with the wisdom and light of the ages. And still, it’s a secret to most. An unhurried

Yesterday was the shortest day of the year. Winter Solstice is that threshold when darkness reaches its fullness and light begins quietly to return. The days leading up to the Solstice, it feels like the darkness will never let go. It grips tightly, refusing to surrender. We all pass through thresholds where darkness lingers, a familiar phase of our inner life that casts shadows across our days. Centurions guard our fears and our body tenses under the weight of old patterns

When I started down this path more than 25 years ago, I was the picture of perfection in my own mind — focused on status, achievements, and what I thought I should be — climbing a ladder that, I would later realize, was leaning against the wrong wall. I thought I had it all figured out. But underneath the striving, there was a quiet restlessness I couldn’t explain. Then I had a dream. It wasn’t symbolic in the way dreams usually are. It was vivid. Clear. It stayed with me

You know that moment when you catch yourself performing—saying what you think you should say, doing what you think you should do? And suddenly you're exhausted by your own life? Spiritual awakening is what happens when you stop performing and start living from what's true on the inside. Not perfectly. Just... more honest about who you actually are. And when you do, the light within you stops hiding. It sounds mystical because it is. When you stop pretending, something shi

Awakening has become something of a buzzword. But what does it mean? Awakening isn't something you learn. It’s a fire that catches when you remember what your soul has always known. It's an invitation to deepen your connection to divine love. It’s the universe creating space for your own becoming. An arrival of your authentic truth and a greater understanding of the mystery, the magic and the mysticism that are your birthright. We spend so much of our lives chasing. Chasi

One day you're a regular person who's living a normal life—the morning coffee, the commute, paying bills on autopilot. The next thing you know you've had an experience that cracks open everything you thought was real. Have you experienced this? Do you feel as if something is missing in your life, but you can't place what it is? That one event can change your whole direction in life. Suddenly you're asking questions you never thought to ask before: What is the meaning of it al
