Laws of Abundance

Our current circumstances are the result of the fruits of our choices.  

Yes, the news may say this about the President and his administration doing that, and everyone has opinions. But what are you doing with your life?  

Are you making choices to better yourself? A student called me the other day, upset and angry at the world, spouting, "There needs to be more light!"  And I said, "Then you ...

“Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. “

 For reason, ruling alone, is a force confing, and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction. 

 Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;and let it direct your pa...

I personally love Thanksgiving - if you’ve ever read my blog, Paprika Angel you will see my love of food and travel but also the time and energy I have spent preparing this meal for friends and loved ones and sometimes strangers for years.  With minor exception I pull together 10 or more people to feast extravagantly every year, even if my funds are short.  I always have found a way because I love to prepare and feed a...

Forgiveness - the big F word. It sounds so simple but is the most difficult. Why is it so important to forgive? And how do we actually forgive? 

To forgive is to release the hold a hurt or injury has on your physical and metaphysical self.  The release cuts the cord to the negative energy that is binding you to an old self and way of being.  If you can  let go of the attachment to the pain and lower freque...

Gratitude. Gratitude. Gratitude.  What really is gratitude? I speak about it all the time. I share with students, clients, and colleagues - gratitude is the foundation of an Abundance Mindset and living a joyful life.  But why?  What is really happening with a gratitude grounded life? 

Simply put, gratitude is the practice of appreciating what one has. On the next level it is the practice of appreciation f...

“Do as I do, be as I am. “ Jesus Christ

“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”  Paulo Coelho (author of The Alchemist)

Sometimes we forget who we are.  Sometimes we think, is this all there is?  And if that is true, what is the point of all of this?  We all can feel stuck.  Trapped even. Unable to get out of the web of the choices we made to get...

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”  Maya Angelou

It is the day after Independence Day.  I’m watching the street sweeper brush up the remnants of yesterday’s fireworks shells on the neighborhood streets of Jacksonville Beach, Florida.  The detritus of the party is all that is left after America’s red, white and blue holiday. Last night thousands of people pour...

“Love God and then do whatever you wish.”   St. Augustine

 This is the quote for the spiritual experience of the sun tarot card in my ultimate guide to the Raider Waite Tarot book. I had to laugh as I read it this morning sitting down to write this podcast.  

 I decided to write about the sun card because it is the solstice, and the sun symbolizes rebirth and daily renewal.  And surprise! This month and for the rest of this year I ...

My partner asked me the other day, “Do you ever envy other people?” and I had to think about it for a second. 

His health has been a significant challenge recently and our relationship is strong but new - so I’ve been in a place of “well fuck, universe, thanks for sending me the love of my life and threatening to take him away just as quickly.” 

It's been a real practice in gratitude to stay i...

“When your determination changes, everything will begin to move in the direction you desire.  The moment you resolve to be victorious, every nerve and fiber in your being will immediately orient itself toward your success.  On the other hand if you think “this will never work out,” then at that instant every cell in your being will be deflated and give up the fight. Everything then will move in the direction of failure...

It is time to go down a rabbit hole, my friends. The Rabbit and the Hare are both symbols of abundance, fertility, the womb, the moon, rebirth, and the goddess - and in this month of Ostara (Vernal Equinox) and Easter, when I am releasing this 3rd installment of the 3rd season of my podcast in the 3rd month of the year the symbol of the triple goddess, the trilogy, and the triple rabb...

“There are no happy endings in Love.  Because as long as love exists there is no ending but transformation. Love is the force that transforms eternity.”  Sovereign Ipsissimus Dave Lanyon

 (Angel singing all you need is love) “Love is all you need.” The Beatles

Yet, love is not enough for a relationship between two people to flourish. Long-term romantic relationships require effort applied to t...

When we are born and take our first breath, our soul enters this physical flesh, and we become animated. We enter this density and forget what it was like to be a spirit. The only thing that keeps us tethered to that experience is our soul - and as we learn things from this physical experience through our five physical and spiritual senses, our experience as spirit gets further and further away. W...

THIS summer I got stuck. The stickiness began with a devastating event. An event that first shocked and then struck and then stuck my soul -

Have you ever been caught in some twisted limbo? Stuck ping-ponging between extremes of hot and cold, love and hate, quiet and loud, soft and hard, easy and difficult, fast and slow?

Transmute = “to change from one nature, form, or substance, into another, to transition.”            -Webster’s Dictionary  Thus, Mental Transmutation = the art of changing mental state, forms and conditions into other state.
