Slowing Down to the Miraculous

There have been times over the past few years of guided writing with my spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom that I have had repeated messages. Messages about slowing down came prior to retiring from my position as an associate professor. Messages about slowing down came two years ago as I was transitioning from

Communion: A Treasured Aspect of this Human Experience

I am so grateful for this life. It took the mud, the sun, the rain, the fresh air, to create the foundation for this life, for the lotus I am. During my morning writing with my spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom, I asked them if they could give me a focus word. The

Two Years Down the Road

Two years ago, on my 69th birthday, I was thinking about the many and varied choices and experiences that had brought me to the person I was and the life I was leading. It was Day 224 of my 365 day writing challenge with my spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom. Here is what

The Gifts and Challenges of Each Lifetime

As anyone who journals and takes the time to re-read those journals, we are able to see ourselves change and grow across time. For those of us who communicate with a spirit guide or other energetic being in a journaled format, those journals hold an opportunity for us to see how that guidance has helped

Rise and Bring Your Head Above the Water, Yet Again

I was reading through journals I have kept with my spirit guide Holly, and I came upon one from from December 9, 2019.

How Does One Lessen the Impact of World Chaos?

On December 1, 2019, I was on day 177 of my 365 day challenge to write on a daily basis with my spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom. I had been hearing and feeling the cries of the world, and my nervous system was being challenged mightily. I sat down with my journal and

Leaning Into Your Soul Work

Two weeks ago, my spirit guide Holly asked the question (in the post Take Good Care of Your Mother) whether we have the WANT and the WILL to save our planet and the living beings that inhabit it. The day after writing that post, I sat down with my journal and wrote this comment: “Yesterday,

Say a Prayer For the Pretender

I had been hearing the lyrics “say a prayer for the pretender” from Jackson Browne’s song The Pretender for a few days, so I sat down with my journal and asked my spirit guide Holly to help me understand why I was receiving this particular message. Here is what she had to say: It would

Take Good Care of Your Mother

Here we go again…Holly (my spirit guide) and the Collective Wisdom were coming to me with another song. This time it was The Only Child by Jackson Browne. I sat down with my journal to learn what message they wanted to share with me. Holly: There are scientists and many others on your planet who

Synchronicities V: Answers to Questions Large and Small

My spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom played a significant role in today’s post. Here were their words leading me toward this post: We are aware that many people who read this post do not believe the stories you tell of your spiritual journey. But that is of no significance to us, nor should
