Not Everything That Blocks You Is a Mindset Issue

Mindset tools assume your internal system is fully available. But what happens when it isn’t? When energy is drained, clarity is compromised, or something subtle is interfering in the background, effort alone won’t create movement. This piece explores soul protection, soul restoration, and why exorcism, when understood correctly, is not dramatic or frightening, but a practical act of restoring what belongs to you.

The Sacred Wisdom of Trees

There’s a kind of silence that lives in trees — not the absence of sound, but the presence of something deeper. In Sedona, I found myself face to face with that ancient listening.

Here are five lessons they continue to offer me — about rooting, staying, giving, community, and the peace that comes from simply being.

The Spiritual Discipline of Showing Up

Sometimes we imagine that connecting with Spirit requires climbing a mountain or making some huge effort. But I’m learning it’s really about something much simpler: showing up. Again and again.

Our perspective shapes our experience, but that doesn't mean all perspectives are created equal or that we should just choose the most positive one…The work isn't to eliminate the perspectives that seem problematic or to force ourselves into relentless optimism.

What If We Don't Heal All the Way?

Here's what I think really happens when we heal: we don't become people who never hurt. We become people who can hurt and still love. Who can be afraid and still show up. Who can carry old sorrows and still make room for new joy.
