10/30/2025 0 Comments A Simple Way to Bless Your Home More and more people have been telling me recently about “odd happenings” in their homes. Sometimes they hear, see, or smell things or can just sense something is not right. This can come across as a lack of peace or a feeling of anger, anxiety, fear, or sadness. The lighting may appear dim in certain rooms or areas where it used to be bright. These could all be signs that your home needs a little maintenance.
While there are countless techniques that could be used to clear a home or space, the most simple and effective is prayer. I suggest that you come up with your own prayer and keep it simple so that you will stick with it. Step 1 is to clear it. Step 2 is to bless it. An example could be: I clear everything from this space that is not of love and light. I bless this space and my entire home with the love and light of God. Amen. Go through each room of your home and say your prayer. If you only have a room in a house, bless your room and send a blessing to the remainder of the house. You can also do this when you are staying at a hotel or at someone else’s home. You can even do this while at work. Your coworkers will be benefitting from this blessing and won’t even know it! Do this daily. Just as you pray for yourself, family, friends, and loved ones, pray for your home. Your intention is what really matters. Be consistent and notice the difference.

 Sunrise - Gulfport, MS in June of 2024 A while ago while my husband and I were out shopping, a man approached us in the store. He came over smiling and asked us who we were. He said that we just had "so much light." He stood there looking at us in awe. We honestly often have peculiar encounters with people, so I must say that I was very pleased this was a positive one. We asked him who he was and we had a good conversation before parting ways.
Just about a year after this encounter, this same man made the news for a murder / suicide. This really struck me because I’d never seen this man before our encounter and never saw him after. It made me wonder even more just why he’d approached us. Why had our paths crossed? I know for certain there is no such thing as coincidence or chance. Was there something we could have done or picked up on? Did we do enough? Was he even contemplating this act when we met him? Not likely. Maybe in that moment, we were just supposed to do what we did – be the reflection of God’s light for a man who needed to see it. Every day and in every encounter, we have the opportunity to bring light to a world of darkness and goodness to a world of hatred and pain. Every encounter. While my heart often breaks for the painful things that occur, I bounce back and refuse to harden my heart. In the words of Jesus, “As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” – John 9:5. 10/15/2025 1 Comment Just in case you forgot... The Morton Arboretum - September 2024 There is nothing I could ever do or have done to me that would take God's love away from me. God is love and being made in His image so am I.
10/8/2025 1 Comment If I had gotten a cold... Me with my mom in 1997. If I had gotten a cold, I would not have listened.
It was late September of 2021, about a day or two after we buried my mother that the exhaustion hit me in a way it never had before. I had been allowed to complete everything that needed to be completed before I went into what I’ll call “sleep mode.” I just couldn’t go anymore. I took a Covid test and it was positive. If you can recall, this was during the period when mainstream media was continually showing all of the people in hospitals on ventilators and those who were dying from this virus – especially those who had chosen not to be vaccinated. I decided that I would not watch the news, as I would surely die if I consumed what they were pumping out every day. I was isolated for what seemed like weeks. I honestly cannot recall how long it was before I got a negative Covid test and was able to come back into the world. I wasn’t in any pain. I had a low grade fever and extreme exhaustion. I had to “lay down!” This was a type of torture for me. At least if I could get up, I could work on some stuff or get something accomplished while homebound. As I lay in my bed, tired of watching movies and binging on Netflix series, I asked God what was going on. God and I have a good relationship, so I asked the questions I wanted to know about Covid and my situation. I was informed that I would not die and I would not have any damage. I was also told that I needed to listen. I was sat out so that I could listen. God had a plan for my life and a major shift was occurring and I needed to listen. Me being sidelined by Covid, was the only way that I wouldn’t immediately go back to continue caring for my father daily and focusing on everything other than what God had been trying to speak to me. With Covid, at that time, you were given a pass by everyone to rest, take care of yourself, and to stay away from them. I was more than ready to get up. Every single time I would try to get going, I would feel dizzy and exhausted, so I would have to lay back down. I apparently needed to listen more. I clearly had not gotten everything that I needed to get during my “timeout” period. The angels ministered and God spoke to me constantly during that time. I prayed and I prayed and I listened and I listened. So much was revealed. When I’d gotten what I needed to get and what I needed to see had been made clear, the next Covid test came back negative! I was free!!! Since that time, I remind myself to listen, so that I don’t have to be sat out (as often – lol – I am a work in progress). I am guided every step of the way. In my past, I was used to learning and getting my lessons the hard way. There is an easier way. Each day I ask God to speak to my heart. When I follow God’s guidance, I am protected and provided for in miraculous ways. My lessons are becoming more comfortable. I can listen and shift things before the pain hits. It is not God’s will for any of us to suffer. I find strength in the 91st Psalm (Bible) during these tumultuous times, knowing that I am dwelling in the secret place of the most high God. 9/29/2025 1 Comment Chasing the Light
I was at a sacred event in Sedona, Arizona recently when I met an artist by the name of Karla Bruk. She was vending her clay artwork. There were many colorful faces and pieces of jewelry laid out on the table. That’s when the most beautiful piece of her artwork literally popped out and spoke to me! I said, “Oh my goodness! Is that a moth?!” She replied that it was. I was so excited because I’m used to seeing artwork with butterflies, dragonflies, and even bees. For me seeing such a beautifully crafted moth was a rarity.
After seeing my excitement, the artist’s assistant asked me what my connection to moths was and why I felt drawn to them. I might have offered more than she was looking for… Since I was a child, I’ve always been drawn to moths, and they’ve always been drawn to me. I can recall as a little girl playing outside on summer evenings with beautiful little white moths fluttering about me. I would jump up and try to catch them. Oh, they were so happy and so was I. As I got older, moths would sometimes show up for me when I was feeling down and often in the most unexpected places. I can recall feeling afraid while being in a store line during the height of the Covid pandemic when one literally flew and hit me right in the face! I knew it was a wakeup call for me to snap out of the fear I was feeling. It was a not-so-subtle reminder from one of God’s angels that I am protected at all times. I love moths because just like me, they are always chasing the light. Moths and I are drawn to it like nothing else. No matter how dark things get, we will find the light, dance in it, and expand it. 9/18/2025 1 Comment Under Construction It’s been just about a year now since my husband and I purchased our little place of respite on St. Croix, USVI. Every single time we’re there, the Sun wakes me up just in time to see it rise over the ocean. I listen to the Yellow Breasts (official territory bird) sing and watch them go about their morning activities in the palm tree that stands on the other side of our balcony. I sit there in meditation and hear God’s voice clearly. I am grateful for my many blessings. The energy is peaceful. My nervous system calms and I am able to fully exhale.
When we arrived at our place this last time and slid back the hurricane shutters, the outside of our building was under construction. There was a ladder on our balcony and a large metal scaffold obstructing our view. To be honest, the view is still beyond beautiful and the sunrise no less breathtaking. As I contemplated the scene, I could see it all as a reflection of my life and the current state of the world as a whole. Several years ago, God had shown me the vision for my path forward and for the world’s – clear and perfect! It was spoken to me. It was shown to me. It was revealed to me. It was promised to me. But first the work… I looked out and could see that I, like this world, am under construction. God’s promise over my life and this world has never changed, but the transformation must occur first. It might be painful at times, as some things are stripped away and cut back. It might be uncomfortable or scary, as the cracks are filled in and the dull colors are made vibrant in a resurrection of sorts. Soon enough, my view will be clear and unobstructed, as the truth God has shown me from the beginning will be revealed to all. We and our world are all being made new. 9/12/2025 0 Comments Hello and Welcome!In the words of the prophet Isaiah:
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8, NIV May everyone who finds my website or social media pages or attends any of my events or programs be blessed through me. When I write or speak, may you only hear the Holy Spirit who flows through me. When you see my face, may you see God shining through me. May you be blessed simply because you landed here. |
