My daughter asked, “Didn’t you get my email?” That’s when I realized that I hadn’t been receiving my main email account for over a week.

“No Exit” – Inside the World of the VictimWhining, pessimistic, complaining, afraid, feeling consistently disrespected, unworthy, and inadequate – this is the world of the victim. Victims are basically “harmless” if left to themselves.

How to Have Your Long Awaited Breakthrough Part 3There are times when we believe things can never be done in another way – a different way. We even believe it is God’s will for things not to change. Somehow, we (or others) have convinced ourselves of the impossibility of a breakthrough. The answer may be in a fresh approach. We must seek the solution outside the well-known barriers of our own mind. Outside the “what do the others do or, what would others think”-mentality. We must be able to move beyond the limiting beliefs of those around us. Einstein said, “Insanity is when we are doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
Christmas – Remembering The MessageAt Christmas time when the birth of Jesus is celebrated as thanksgiving for spiritual guidance, it is also a time for intuitive response in knowing that each has the potential to follow His example and learn to express all the zodiacal energies blended and exemplified in the Christ through supreme Love.
