Get to the Heart of the Matter: It Is Not Too Late to Modify Your Life’s Course or Embrace the Highest Vision of Yourself
Posted on June 29, 2026 Leave a Comment
Hi there,
Welcome to another day to align with the highest version of yourself!
Research shows that most cardiac events happen on Mondays. But, if you have been watching my Facebook Live, part of my Facebook group Fulfill Your Divine Purpose, or reading my posts (e.g. Twitter, YouTube, and others), this phrase does not surprise you.
“You do not have to be a statistic.”
Many factors contribute to cardiac these cardiac events, including pending work deadlines and the stress of commuting to work. However, there are some underlying reasons that can also increase work-related stress.
There may be some of us who are:
- Living out our parents or grandparents successful or unsuccessful dream,
- Working a job just to make ends meet, but unable to fully express our gifts and talents,
- In a career because a career assessment revealed you should be working in a certain field,
- in a job to prove something to others,
- Living out traditional expectations–get a job, keep it, provide for your family, and then retire…….
The job/career may be different, but the common underlying reason is emotional dis-harmony due to lack of authenticity. You may not be aligned with your true purpose.
All of us have something powerfully unique within us–seeds of greatness in our own way. We have abilities, gifts, and talents we are invited to embrace, nourish, and express on Earth. I’m not talking about financial fulfillment. I’m talking about spiritual success.
We are here to serve others–an extension of our Creator’s love for humankind. Our heart’s desires will always be there and so is that occasional pull and whisper that we will never be satisfied until we accept the true expression of ourselves.
To cultivate authenticity, we must “get to the heart of the matter.” Why am I stressed about going to work on Monday? Why do I feel like I can’t be successful doing what I love? What limitations have I accepted, planted, and harvested from others’ opinions, stereotypes, my beliefs?
This week, I gave my Notes on Life: Empowering You to Be You subscribers five questions to consider. One of them is:
What emotions consistently arise before, during, and after work?
How do you feel when you walk through the doors of where you work?
No blame. No guilt. Just observation.
I remember my whole facial expression changed as soon as I entered the breezeway of where I worked umteen years ago. Although I was and still am very grateful for the opportunity, I knew I did not belong there.
Change does not always come over night. But when we start turning inward to reflect on our lives–when we answer the call of our purpose, we can believe that some day we will awaken and do exactly what we are here to do.
Our bodies are the vehicles for our purpose. They know what we are here to do and often send us signals when we are misaligned.
This week, let’s spend some time paying attention to what our bodies are telling us. Heart conditions are preventative, and they are not just grounded in what we eat. A risk factor is not a fact or absolute. We only get one original heart from our Creator, and it is our responsibility to take care of it.
I remember watching a documentary of Sidney Poitier several years ago and hearing him say that he had finally found what he was put here to do–acting.
We can all utter those words.
If you are wondering if that’s possible, I believe that anything is possible.
And from what I have experienced, both “good” and “bad”, whatever I believed often came true.
So, if you can have the life you desired that does not oppose another (another topic for another day), then why not? Why not believe that you can have the life you desire? That you don’t have to be stressed out and make a great living doing what you love by cultivating the divine talents you have?
Next week, we will look at our inner (beliefs) and outer boundaries (circumstances, etc) in cultivating growth, The Inner Garden style.
Make this lifetime great because you are here to do so no matter what!

The Seeds We Plant Series #76: Are You Cultivating Weeds of Inferiority?
Posted on June 24, 2026 Leave a Comment
Hi there,
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? What childhood limitations are you still nourishing within your heart? Do you often compare yourself to others? What is the relationship you have with food, exercise, and finances? Do you believe the best or the worst about yourself?
How we view ourselves plays a significant role in how we treat ourselves and others. If we believe that we do not deserve the best, we can and will find ways to sabotage our lives. But if we believe the best about ourselves, then we are more apt to seek circumstances that are consistent with this thought, too.
Which thought process will bring you harmony, health, and inner peace?
In today’s podcast, I share my insights on the weeds of inferiority and their role in the generational cycle of pain. What we cultivate within often expresses itself on the outside and gets passed on to future gardeners.
As always, let me know your thoughts.
Make this lifetime great, for the power to do so resides within you.

Spiritual Evolution: Life is always inviting us to embrace our journey
Posted on June 21, 2026 Leave a Comment
Hi there!
Are you fighting your growth stages? Are you stuck in the circumstances and only see what you are experiencing with your human senses?
Life is always calling us forward along our spiritual journey. Our spiritual evolution is the alignment of our human genetic composition with our spiritual one. Instead of fighting our growth stages, including the pruning of traditional beliefs and personalities, we embrace them. We are to go beyond what we see to become and express who we are.
We can choose to learn from our life lessons. We can cultivate compassion, honesty, kindness, gentleness, patience, and other virtues we may be called to bring forth. We learn not to force growth, but to honor the growth process.
Honesty with oneself is one of the best virtues we can nourish within. This is a multifaceted tool we can use to guard our garden from the weeds of insecurity, judgment, and superiority. We realize that we do not have to honor the world’s expectations. Instead, we allow the Indwelling Spirit to work through us. We listen to its matter-of-fact Voice. We begin to trust it and to access it.
When we embrace, embody, and nourish honesty, we do not fool ourselves. If it looks like a weed—negative patterns of emotions, then it probably is. We uproot it without hesitation. We are wiser and know that it can appear to be a fruitful flower.
We aren’t afraid to address anything that can dull our honest intentions. We face ourselves daily and guide our thoughts toward peace, knowing that honesty nourishes health, harmony, and inner peace.
When we are honest with ourselves:
- We observe storms instead of getting caught up in them. Emotions are fleeting, and we refuse to let them be our guides through life.
- We limit our expectations of others and keep it where it belongs—on the Divine within. We understand the power of unhealed wounds and the individual revelation all of us have to experience in our own way, space, andtime.
- We admit our errors and seek to correct them. Apologies become more than saying, “I’m sorry.” They become the light that we need to dig deeper for weeds–persistent negative emotions.
- We realize that no guardian is ever free of weeds, including our own.
Spiritual evolution will not look pretty. It does not seek awards or recognition in any form. It is a process for all of us and how you experience it has a lot to do with what you are willing to accept and reject. Honesty is one of the best tools to help us along the way. It nourishes us from the inside out, guards against pests and weeds, and stabilizes our foundation.
How do you guard against negative emotions? How has being honest with yourself and others helped you along your spiritual journey?
Make this lifetime great, for the power to do so exists within you.
