I was in tune with a presence far greater than anything I’d ever known. I’d found my hidden power.
Hodden power - meditation.
I made a commitment on that day—a commitment to never turn my back on the true source of love ever again. For the past decade, I’ve been on a spiritual journey of strengthening my relationship to that love.
Commit.
My relationship to this energy is the most important thing in my life. Without it I lose my power, my purpose, and my connection to love. Each day I devote to tuning in to this presence of love through prayer, meditation, mindful practices, and loving connections to myself and others. I take responsibility for the world I create by making love a habit, and I nurture the connection on a daily basis.
This!
We separate from the love of the Universe by giving purpose to pain and thinking power comes from outside sources. We deny the power of love, and we save our faith for fear. We forget love altogether.
The power os within us.
Synchronicity, guidance, healing, and abundance are available to us all the time. All we need to do is tune in to the energy of the Universe so that we can get into the flow with the supportive, loving energy. When we’re in alignment with this energy, life becomes a happy dream.
Available to all of us.
Energy flows where your attention goes.
Be careful where you focus your attention.
What we focus on we create—be it good or bad.

When we choose to believe in the faith of the world, we are afraid. But when we lean on the faith of the Universe, peace becomes real.
Faith, fear, peace.
What would you do if you lived with faith and certainty? Write down your answer. Releasing doubt will give me the certainty and faith to __________________________________. Commit to this statement and set certainty in motion.
Releasing doubt
Certainty brings forth an energy of peace. That is the goal: to live in this world but believe in a peaceful loving world beyond it. Our faith in a world beyond our physical site is what allows for genuine peace to set in. A Course in Miracles says, “You are at peace, and you bring peace with you wherever you go.”
Peace is the goal.
The more energy and intention you bring to your faith, the more fearless and free you will be. Your fearless freedom will light up the world.

Stop praying for an outcome and instead, pray for the highest good for all.
Highest good
A Course in Miracles says, “I lose the world from all I thought it was, and choose my own reality instead.”
Yes
My faith statement is: I know that the Universe is an ever-present energy field of love. I know that when I align with the energy of love through thoughts, actions, and beliefs, I am given infinite support and guidance. I know that I can co-create my reality with this loving presence so that I can live in joy and spread light.
Author's faith statement
“You have no idea of the great release and peace you will feel when you totally give up judgment.” Therefore, releasing judgment is crucial if you want to be happy and free.
Give up judgment.
As my dear teacher Kenneth Wapnick said, “We see that we all have the same interest of awakening from the dream of unkindness and returning to the kindness who created us kind.”
Return to kindness.
Walk a path of humility to stay centered in your universal truth.
Humility
Carl Jung said: “Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
Cool
When we look outside for our faith, we get lost in the dreams of who we think we should be, what we think we need, and when we think we need it. But when we turn inward, we surrender to the one and only truth, which is love. When we surrender to love, we can experience our darkest moment as the greatest catalyst for transformation.
Great explanation
When you surrender your relationships to love, you’re able to bring your highest self to the table.
Love
Love is a decision, and all that is asked of you is the willingness to choose it. Each time you do is a miracle. And with total willingness your obsession with time will end. The miracle is now.
Choose love.
Your power lies in your capacity to spread love.
Power is love.
The safety and security we long for lie in our commitment to love.
Love
Do you think you need to change your circumstances to change your life? All you need to do is change your mind and remember love.
Change your mind and love.
The Sufi poet Rumi said, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” Trust that your wounds are exactly as the Universe planned. They were divinely placed in your life in the perfect order so that you could show up for them with love and remember the light within.
