Recently, I’ve been guided to work on healing expectations in any form, both in my inner and outer worlds. This is perfect timing because as the time to post this month’s blog drew nearer and nearer, I realized I have certain expectations about what I write and how it affects readers. I have attachments to the messages being meaningful and useful for everyone. I’m attached to finishing them within a certain time frame. And I have a desire for each one to have a certain polish and verbal flare! As I rolled all of these self-imposed limitations around in my head, the inspiration came to me: “Be honest about what you’re feeling and share that.” So, polished or not, here goes.
Many of you may relate to the needs and desires to give a good “performance” or “product”, even a spiritual one such as helping others to heal. Sometimes our expectations are applied to something created in the outer world such as an event, a job or even simply our words and actions. Sometimes our expectations get applied to our inner reality, such as wanting to feel differently about something and being frustrated with ourselves when we’re not ready to make the shift or wishing we were at a different place in our spiritual evolution. Wherever we might apply expectations, whatever form they may take, whether consciously or subconsciously, whether directed outwardly toward others or inwardly toward ourselves, they are simply forms of judgment blocking us from experiencing Unconditional Love and knowing ourselves as unlimited, as Source.
I’m still in process with these expectation pieces myself, so I can only share some suggestions from my soul for my next steps in the healing process. I am being guided to work with the resonance of Divine Humor. This energy feels like being able to gently laugh with myself when I take a misstep or experience results that weren’t part of my initial plan. I also heard to expand with Divine Generosity, as in being generous and forgiving with myself as much as others. And the third resonance that came to me is Divine Willingness to Receive, open and willing to receive the abundance and grace of the unexpected. These are just a few, but it’s a start. Some of these may speak to you as resonances you’re also guided to work with or your soul may recommend a completely different list. Whatever your guidance and wherever you are with your journey, just know that we are all walking the path of our spiritual evolution together, and it’s perfectly divine for each of us to do it in our uniquely unexpected way.

Even with many tools and techniques in their toolbelt, Lightworkers may still find ourselves looking around for answers amid the turbulence of the breakdown of the illusion. In the heat of the moment, we sometimes forget the wisdom we already have available within. So, it’s important to remain vigilant for things that catch our attention because the answer already lies within the question. We just need to take the time to listen to the true message.
Many spiritual and recovery circles are familiar with an acronym for fear: False Evidence Appearing Real. When we feel fear, we are reacting to something in the illusion. Fear is not the language of Source/All That Is. When we experience fear, or any of its less intense variations such as stress or anxiety, there is a false perception trying to come to our awareness for healing. If we can shift our default response from fight, flight or freeze to one of curiosity, fear can become just another tool for healing. We can begin making this shift by asking our souls, “What about this event/situation is a reflection of my false perception? What am I perceiving about the outer that is not divine truth?” If we can look at this as simply a self-teaching moment, we can begin to calm triggered emotions and move through the fear with greater peace and calm.
Another insightful acronym I have worked with is for pain: Pay Attention In the Now. Whenever we experience physical, emotional and/or psychological pain, our wise inner selves are speaking to us, tapping us on our metaphorical shoulders with an important insight. When we experience some form of pain, or even discomfort, that is a signal that we are out of alignment with our divine truth. When we are triggered by someone else’s experience of pain, that is also out of alignment with the knowingness that we are all creators. If we can shift our belief away from seeing pain as a punishment and work with it as a guidepost to direct our healing, we can navigate the turbulence of the outer world with ease and flow.
Another powerful acronym that could be truly helpful when the world seems crazy or chaotic is for fate; From All Thoughts Everywhere. This acronym was recently shared with me by my friend, Mindy, and comes from Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Book 1 by Neale Donald Walsch, which is a channeled series of questions from the author and answers from God. I’ll share the excerpt in their own words:
Excuse me, but why not eliminate the events?
A very good suggestion. Unfortunately, I have no control over them.
You have no control over events?
Of course not. Events are occurrences in time and space which you produce out of choice—and I will never interfere with choices. To do so would be to obviate the very reason I created you. But I’ve explained all this before. Some events you produce willfully, and some events you draw to you— more or less unconsciously. Some events—major natural disasters are among those you toss into this category—are written off to “fate.” Yet even “fate” can be an acronym for “from all thoughts everywhere.” In other words, the consciousness of the planet.
Whenever we point to what we perceive as separate and outside ourselves, we are operating in the illusion. Whether we feel upset about the actions of others and blame them or we want to be rescued because we see ourselves (or others) as victimized, those are examples of false evidence appearing real. If we ignore our pain, we are missing the opportunity to pay attention in the now to whatever we are thinking, feeling, saying or doing that is pulling us out of alignment with our Source-self. If we believe that certain experiences in the outer world are simply out of our control rather than collective co-creations manifested “from all thoughts everywhere”, then we are giving away our power to heal the illusion within.
Use these moments as your guideposts through the turbulence of the outer world to the inner peace and serenity of the inner. If you doubt the power of your creatorship, just look at the magnificence and grand scale of what you (individually and collectively) have already created. Accept your inner wisdom as your guide, allow your love to shine and step into your divine power of creatorship to manifest heaven on earth wherever you are.

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery using paint infused with precious metals such as gold and silver to create a new object of beauty. It’s not about repairing things in a way to cover perceived flaws but truly honoring the unique beauty of the new form. I was reminded of this tradition by my soul when I was recently working on embracing change.
One of the primary blocks to change is the tendency to compare the new with the old. If we hold any kind of attachment to what came before, we are holding judgment and resisting growth. Kintsugi represents a step beyond accepting change by seeing it as completely new, free of comparison with any other, and celebrating all of its unique attributes as wholly divine.
Marsha Hankins has written about this in several posts about The Parable of the Cracked Pot. A pot was carried daily by the water carrier to bring water to the master’s table but leaked half of its water each time due to a crack. Eventually, the pot’s shame about this deficiency caused it to speak up to the water carrier. The man replied by pointing out the beautiful flowers that lined the path where the leaking pot had watered them. The pot’s unique feature created its own kind of beauty in the world, different but no less divine.
The coming years will bring many shifts and changes in the outer world as we move into a new phase of the breakdown for breakthrough. If we hold onto what used to be or try to “return to normal”, we will experience these changes as struggle. If we focus on not just accepting these changes but truly celebrating the beauty of them as reflections of our next steps toward experiencing Oneness, we will know true Peace and Joy.
Are you ready to practice the art of Divine Beauty?

Shining your light is an act of love; not just self-love but love for all. This reminder came to me at a healing meditation circle as we chanted to “I Shine” by Alexa Sunshine Rose. The lyrics guided me to focus on my connection with all light throughout the universe and the experience that shining my light is shining the universal light of all. I felt myself as both the whole cosmos and a truly unique being within the cosmos. Shining our light in this way is a unifying act of love both with and for all creation. It is an understanding of Oneness.
I share the lyrics here in English. The chant is beautifully recorded in both English and Spanish:
With the light of the Sun, I shine, I shine
With the light of the Stars, I shine, I shine
With the light of the Moon, I shine, I shine
With the light of the Earth, I shine, I shine
When I shine, we shine. When you shine, we shine. When we are all shining as One, the expanded light supports each unique being as a pure expression of Source. Take these words into your heart. Feel them. Know them as divine truth. And keep shining, always!

“Are we there, yet?” is a common refrain made to parents by excited kids, impatient to reach their destination. We are all spiritual children making our way back Home to our divine state of Oneness. As the outer world shows increasing signs of the breakdown of the illusion, we might find ourselves experiencing doubts that we will make it. Spoiler alert: We will. Some may reach that point sooner and some may have a few more journeys to experience, but we are all going Home.
When my soul wants to remind me of something, I often get a message through a song. I recently had some moments of doubt about humanity’s path to breaking through the illusion. Then, I heard a performance which I knew in the moment was a love song from my Source-Self, reminding me that I will be ushered with open arms to my divine home whenever I am ready to surrender the illusion of my separation.
“Carry You Home”, sung by artist Alex Warren, was written as a romantic love song, but I heard it as a song about divine love. The main chorus goes like this:
Oh, I hope you know I will carry you home
Whether it’s tonight or 55 years down the road
Oh, I know there’s so many ways that this could go
Don’t want you to wonder, darlin’, I need you to know
In this and every life
I choose us every time
This inspired me to ask myself, “Am I choosing Source every time?” With every action, word, thought and emotion, do I choose the wonder and beauty and joy of being Source? Honestly, I do not. Not yet. But I am getting closer each day, and I know that we are all much closer than we may believe right now.
When we choose a higher frequency in each moment, we are making choices which will carry us Home with ease and flow. Ask your soul where in your life you can make a shift in how you focus your energy to bring you closer to your divine home. The highest plan right now might be greater mindfulness in daily activities or detachment from the outer world. You might be guided to slow down and enjoy the beauty around you or to connect with your passion and take your next action steps. Maybe you need a boost in your belief that you’ll return to a state of Divine Home. Trust your guidance.
Know that Source energy is always present to support us when we allow ourselves to open up and align with it. It is this remembrance of ourselves as Source which will ultimately carry us Home. May you experience joy in your journey!
