A month ago, my daughter had a large group of young tween girlfriends at our house for a sleepover. I left them to chat and run around and have fun. Many of them had cell phones and someone sent a not-so-nice text … by accident. There were a lot of young girls crying and whispering. After I realized what happened, I calmly had all the girls sit down in a circle. I talked to them about how every word a person says sticks to them, the wall, the room, etc. It was very important that they only … [Read more...] about Use Only Positive Words

Have You Been Someone Famous in a Past Life?
Nope. I get this question a lot: "Have you been someone famous in a past life ... Were you a princess or ... <you name it>?" I have been some interesting people, but no, I have not been famous. We cannot all be famous in a past life. I have remembered over 40 past lives and I have not been famous yet. I have been a variety of different types of people – including a farmer, a gatherer, a construction supervisor, a homemaker, a slave, a military man and a woodcutter. I lived to be around … [Read more...] about Have You Been Someone Famous in a Past Life?
Random Acts of Kindness … Messages From the Mural
In this portion of the school mural, I painted this scene as a dedication to my son. He is practicing a random act of kindness. My son is a sweet soul, so it is fitting for him. I like how the gold paint gives the wings a little bit of shimmer. I really prefer oil paint, but painting this mural helped me garner a better understanding and appreciation for acrylics. It was a lot of fun to mix and blend the colors. Sears donated a pallet of random discontinued house paint. Lowe's also provided a … [Read more...] about Random Acts of Kindness … Messages From the Mural
I Love You … Messages From the Mural
A few years ago, I took on the task of organizing and completing two 17 foot long murals inside a local school. Their walls were very ... institutional ... and in need of some color. One mural I call: Flowers and Fairies. The other wall's mural I call: Fun with Science. It took approximately two school years (plus a few awesome volunteers and paint donations) to complete them. The kids enjoyed watching the progress. This little fairy is just a small portion of one wall. I painted it to … [Read more...] about I Love You … Messages From the Mural
My Daughter’s Guardian Angel Visits with Love
When my daughter was about 4 months old, I saw her spirit guide holding her. It was very late at night. I had just nursed her and laid her down in bed. I kept her bed a few feet from ours. For some reason, I woke up not long after that only to see someone standing and holding my baby. They were swaying with her in their arms while looking down at her lovingly. Surprised at myself—how did I not wake up when she made a sound or was crying? When you are a mother, you wake to the slightest sound … [Read more...] about My Daughter’s Guardian Angel Visits with Love
Who is in Your Soul Group?
I totally believe that we incarnate with a soul group. Here is a great analogy for a soul group. Imagine an infinite tree. We each are a leaf on this immense tree. Our leaf sprouts from a stick off a thicker branch. The thicker branch is our soul group, but the stick is our immediate soul group. This small group is made up of the souls we incarnate with on a regular basis. I have recognized several people I have met throughout my current life who have shown up in a past life. Some of it … [Read more...] about Who is in Your Soul Group?
