I am either attracting or repelling things, experiences and people to me. I am one big magnet, and I draw everything to myself that is within my consciousness. If I want to change something in material reality, I must change my consciousness. This is nothing new to those of us who embrace the New Thought […]

I just read an article in the current Science of Mind Magazine by Dennis Merrit Jones about being guardians of our thoughts, about holding the “high watch.” Remember in olden times, when they built fortresses around a city?

I received two different messages yesterday. One was from someone who had finally revealed their healing after a long journey with an illness. The other message was from someone who had been on a similar journey and got the notice that the journey with that illness had taken a turn backwards. Without getting into details, […]

Last night I had a dream where I was on a road trip with Patrick (my husband) and a friend. My friend was driving the van. Because she wasn’t paying attention, we suddenly found ourselves at the edge of a cliff careening off into space. We were about to say our farewells, when I simply […]
