There were times after I wrote it that I second guessed why I did it. In today's world, we measure things by quantities and mass scales, so very modest and slow sales seem to indicate irrelevance.

A few years ago, when I felt led down a new path of a deeper spiritual journey, I encountered a turkey vulture, not on the roadside cleaning up remains of a dead animal, but up close and personal, diving and circling all around my house within about 10 feet of me. This went on for several minutes before the bird soared away, and somehow I knew that this unusual display was Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10943548305496922730noreply@blogger.com61tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487453632848493017.post-62135140266224502182011-09-07T13:55:00.000-04:002011-09-07T13:55:57.850-04:00Waiting On the World To ChangeSinger John Mayer had a hit song a few years ago, Waiting On The World To Change, which most of us are probably familiar with. It expresses how we, as mere individuals, wait around on the world to change because we feel powerless to make a difference.

Last week on my radio show, Awakening to Angels & Spirit, I announced a mentor program that I was contemplating putting together for those who wished to open up to spirit in a guided way, with a little "spiritual hand-holding" from me.

My book, Setting God Free: Awakening to Miracles was published a few months ago, and in almost exact synchronicity, complications arose in my life (or at least in the lives of some around me) which caused me to feel pain, grief, and frustration.

Through our conditioning, we sometimes focus on our shortcomings when we connect to Him, rather than our goodness. I believe that doing so creates a detachment and a separation, rather than a greater connection.

Sometimes it is difficult to see any possible benefit from the hardship, especially when struggles seem to follow one after the other. But our difficulties help us create pearls from our lives - pearls of both wisdom and beauty. Consider how a pearl is formed in an oyster or mollusk.

It is one of those phrases that has been pounded into our heads through repetition, but that we may seldom really think through in any way other than on the surface. I truly believe that God's will is for us to have joy, and that we are fully connected to God only when we are in that energy of bliss.

Our anger at who caused it or who is to blame does not help generate the energy that is needed to create miracles and solutions.

The more consistently we have a thought, the more likely we are to produce that event or effect. This works in our own lives and what we manifest for ourselves, but it also works collectively - in the collective consciousness of our world. That is why it is so important to begin to change our own minds, but beyond that, to encourage a change of thought in others - Sherrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10943548305496922730noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6487453632848493017.post-43561377392445125942010-05-09T06:51:00.008-04:002010-05-09T19:43:44.264-04:00Unconditional "Mother Love"Today is Mother's Day, and I celebrate "Mother Love". It is that unconditional, nurturing love that sees the good in us, it helps us remember our attributes and what we are capable of. Those who have that kind of love from their mothers or others are fortunate, because it is the kind of love and acceptance that makes us better.

Since Good Friday, I have contemplated what the symbolic meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection might mean to me right now in my own life.

Partly it is because there are certain things that we think are "givens" in our lives - that we cannot possibly let go of. We don't even consider that these may be areas we need to change or step away from.
