  • I’ve Got You

    Sacred Stories

    She was a woman on a very spiritual path; she was even hosting her guru.

    Her mother was coming, although she had never showed any spiritual interest. This was a painful gap for the daughter.

    When the mother arrived, she told her daughter that the porch light was out. This was particularly troublesome because those coming expected the porch light would be on to identify the location.

    The daughter got a ladder and climbed up to change the bulb.

    Her mother followed her out onto the porch.

    From down below her, the daughter heard her mother’s voice say to her, “Don’t worry, you’re safe, I’ve got you.”

    In that moment, total awareness of her mother’s love and their genuine connection dissipated all illusion of separation.

  • Frequent Flyer

    Sacred Stories

    When her sister-in-law suddenly lost a family member, the only thought that came to mind was to offer airline miles.

    When all the arrangements were successfully secured, she knew it was truly nothing short of a miracle.

    Six of them were to travel.

    The week of Thanksgiving.

    The number of points needed: 312,000.

    They had 318,000!

    She would not even have been aware of the possibility of gifting the tickets a few months prior. She could do that only because she was now handling the financial responsibilities!

  • Rob Swartz

    Sacred Stories

    While in a client session, she suggested a soul purpose reading with Rob Swartz, a man she had just spent the week with on retreat.

    Her client said, “Rob Swartz! I just listed to his podcast!”

    While she had met Rob at the retreat, she did not know about the podcast.

    Rob’s podcast is l-o-n-g, but you will probably find it worth every second, as it is touching on everything from politics to suicide to atheism. What a gift!

  • Being Cared For

    Sacred Stories

    Her husband was coming home from the hospital, scheduled to have home care for about a month until the wound on his leg was healed.

    She was on the phone with the home care company who had failed to identify the leg infection previously when she suddenly had a very strong energetic visit from a friend who was in spirit.

    She backed off the phone call.

    It was as though her friend was right there in the room saying, “NO, NO, NO!”

    She worked with the hospital to get another home care company set up. This company specialized in the exact type of wound vac dressing her husband was coming home with.

    Sharing all of this with another friend, who also knows the woman in spirit, she simply wrote, “We are being cared for by everyone here!!!”

  • Heart in a Tree

    Sacred Stories

    Her day was done, and her thoughts peacefully tucked, beyond the soiled ground, which soaked up the rain drops. While yet, the sun glowed with radiant delight. A sweet glow of tangerine mist filled the sky, as her heart settled near the base of the tree.

    She sat reflecting, the moment, of stillness, and felt two hearts close to hers. Her mom, and now her dad.

    Her eyes drifted to the middle of the tree.

    A heart with much fullness embraced her, drawing her in.

    She felt a breeze, and wiping the tears from her eyes, she heard a whisper. She listened again. She heard it with her ears. She listened yet again, and this time it came from her heart:

    “I will never leave you. My heart surrounds yours. I will be with you. Trust your heart, I will guide you. We love you, Mom & Dad.”

  • Acorn

    Sacred Stories

    At the conclusion of the retreat, everyone pitched in to clean the common areas. As she was stacking chairs in the meeting room, she found a small acorn.

    She picked it up, and took it home.

    A couple of days later, she picked up the acorn and held it in her hand as a “touchstone” while she meditated. When she finished meditation, she opened the Daily Word to read the message for that day, she read these words: As I hold a small acorn…

  • Robbery Thwarted and More

    Sacred Stories

    She was at home when two men entered their home with the intention to rob them.

    She was just overcome by courage. She began to speak to the two men like they were children, saying, “You should be ashamed of yourself, you have no right to be here, and you need to leave before you get in trouble.”

    And they did!

    Sharing her experience with her spiritual teacher later, she was assured she had overcome the karma of fear of being accosted and she would never have to face that again in this life.
