Tough Questions. . .
- Is there something more than what we can see around us?
- What is the meaning or purpose of life?
- What do I do when church means nothing to me...or I no longer share the beliefs of my religion?
- Can I connect with Divine Love, really?
- Can I learn to perceive Spirit's guidance in my life?
- Are Angels real? Is there really a God?
Sometimes we must deal with the hard questions. When such questions are heavy on your heart, it can feel as though you are alone in your search for greater meaning and joy in life.
You are not alone, and a Spiritual Guide can be of great help by offering guidance, suggesting practices to lead you to answers, and by listening and assisting you on your journey.

The Need to Feed our Spirit...
Many of us walk through our daily lives feeling as though something is missing; something that we can't quite put our finger on. We are happy enough... we have what we need to sustain our busy lives ...we have people who love us... but there is a longing in our hearts that we can't quite name.Sometimes the longing is answered when we see a beautiful sunset. Sometimes it is satisfied as we hear a familiar hymn. Sometimes it happens when we receive a kindness... or enjoy our garden... or watch a lake... or spend quiet moments with a cup of tea. In these timeless moments, we are filled with a sweetness, with a sense of infinite love and connection. And our hearts feel full and satisfied. We are pulled out of the mundane into a place where all feels possible and awesome.
This is a yearning that we all share, a pull to connect with something greater, something bigger... with Love and Light, Divinity, God, Goddess, however or whoever that is for you in your spiritual journey. Many people find connection at places of worship, but for many, organized religion is not a happy experience. For all the good that religious communities bring to our lives, they are still institutions and not everyone can find contentment or a comfortable place in the pew. And for many who do attend a church, temple, or a mosque there is still a inner prompting to feed their spirit outside the community.
For those who are searching and yearning for connection to God, know that when you ask, you will receive, and if you seek you will find, and be found, by Love.
Where to Start?
There are many ways to connect to Divinity. Taking time to pray, meditate, and read inspired writings and stories by yourself or with a group of people will bring you into the presence of Love. Taking time through the day to give thanks and feel gratitude for your blessings also heightens your awareness of divinity and feeds your spirit.Moving through the day grounded in gratitude and peace attracts more good into your life. As you welcome these added blessings, your thanks bring ever more good into your life. This beautiful cycle of gratitude followed by blessing and new gratitude creates the spirit of joy which spills over to everyone you meet. It is one way Divinity works in and through each of us, reminding us that we are blessed to be blessings.
