Forgiveness
Have you ever held a grudge against someone? I did and noticed it was keeping me pretty occupied. Avoiding them, trying not to think about them, trying hard to pretend they didn’t hurt me…it was exhausting. When we don’t forgive we stay in the struggle. It is a burden...
Divine Substance
What if you knew you had access to unlimited resources? The source of all material wealth is Divine Substance. It is the spiritual consciousness that connects us with the infinite, abundant universe. It is available to us 24/7. However, we have to be willing and...
