“An unknown life-force and design for living had been passed onto me simply by showing up at meetings, sitting in coffee shops, trying to let go of shame, regrets, pride & ego.”

“As we relinquish our defective behavioral traits, one at a time, we realize how stuck we had been. And we experience genuine joy over our discovery that we can be someone different. Today is a fresh start on being who I want to be: grateful and free.”

“God, grant me release from the oppression of my ego allows a genuine advance. Again and again, we shall need to return to that unflattering point of departure. This is an exercise in acceptance that we can practice every day of our lives.”

“The great awareness comes slowly, piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one.”

“The soul needs living models to grow, exemplars with the expansive energies of love. People who are eager to love change us at deeper levels. They alone seem able to open the field of both mind and heart at the same time. When we’re in this different state—and that is what it is—we find ourselves open to directions or possibilities we would never allow or imagine before.  We have LOVE as our North Star for a coherent life purpose. It will quite truthfully & inevitably pull us forward and give us a clear trajectory.”

“Experiment with finding blessings wherever you go. Quickly you will discover that using a vision of perfection is far more empowering than one of loss. In love you are unbeatable. Today, I pray to see life, my own and others, through Your eyes, that I may fully reap all of the gifts of love.”
