The Power of Love and Gratitude

Hello wondrous Souls,

One of the simplest yet most profound ways to shift our energy is through love and gratitude. These two forces work together to bring us back into alignment, open our hearts, and create space for divine guidance.

Today, I invite you to pause and reflect. Take a deep breath, place your hands over your heart, and allow gratitude to wash over you. Let’s begin.

Here are 10 Things I Am Grateful For

  1. The wisdom of my years—the lessons, the growth, and the ever-deepening trust in life’s unfolding.
  2. The kindred spirits who walk beside me, offering support, laughter, and shared dreams.
  3. The stillness of early mornings, when the world is quiet, and my soul speaks the loudest.
  4. The beauty of nature—each sunrise, each whispering tree, each moment of connection with the earth.
  5. The courage to create, to share, to give voice to the stories and truths that long to be expressed.
  6. The magic of synchronicities—those divine winks reminding me I am always being guided.
  7. The Temple Green Gatherings, where women come together in sacred space, weaving love, wisdom, and presence.
  8. The beautiful the country and city I live in, and other souls who are called to live here.
  9. The gift of past and future life integration—the deeper understanding that I am part of something vast and eternal.
  10. The infinite present moment—my breath, my heartbeat, my sacred now.

Now I invite you to grab your journal and write 10 things you are grateful for.

Sending Love to Those Who Challenge Us

Now, let’s shift into love. Not just for the people and things that bring us joy, but for those who stretch us, mirror our own unhealed places, and unknowingly become our greatest teachers.

Think of three people who have triggered, hurt, or challenged you. Rather than resisting, take a deep breath and send them love. Imagine their hearts softening, their burdens easing, their souls expanding in grace.

Say with your heart: I release all resistance and send you love. May you be blessed, healed, and held in the highest light.

This isn’t about excusing harm; it’s about liberating ourselves from resentment and returning to the frequency of love.

Asking for Guidance

Now, with your heart full and your energy aligned, ask for guidance.

What is Love asking of me today?
How can I embody the gratitude I feel?
What next step—to will bring me deeper into alignment with my Soul’s purpose?

Then, listen. The answer may come as a whisper, a feeling, a sudden knowing. Trust it.

Gratitude and love are portals to higher wisdom. When we cultivate them, we create space for the Universe to respond.

Living with Wonderment

And say to yourself each night before you go to sleep:
“Something beautiful is happening to me.”

And when you wake up, say to yourself:
“Something beautiful and wondrous is happening to me today.”

Let these words be a doorway into a life infused with magic, grace, and the unseen forces guiding you toward your highest good.

Let’s walk forward today with open hearts and bright spirits. Love is here, always.

Heart to Heart and Blessings Abound, Elizabeth

Navigating Intense Transformational Times

Hello wondrous Soul,

Today I am talking about the importance of taking care of yourself while you move through our collective spiritual, emotional and evolutionary shift.


Self-Care for Deep Recalibration

As we live and move through these intense and extraordinary times, many of us engaged in deep clearing, integration, and healing are experiencing profound shifts—not just mentally and emotionally, but physically as well. The transformation we are undergoing is not merely conceptual; it is visceral, cellular, and deeply embodied. Even though we dedicate ourselves to meditation, sharing, and processing, the depth of this work is having a tangible recalibration effect on the body, requiring us to be even more intentional about self-care.

At times, it can feel like being in a pressure cooker—where everything unresolved is rising to the surface, demanding attention and release. This internal alchemy is accelerating, and as old wounds, ancestral imprints, past life experiences and conditioned responses dissolve, the body itself is adjusting to new frequencies, new ways of being, new timelines and an expanded state of awareness.

Understanding the Physical Impact of Recalibration

When we engage in deep healing, our nervous system, muscles, and energy field all respond dynamically. Some of the physical effects may include:

  • Fatigue or exhaustion due to the energetic shifts occurring at a rapid pace.
  • Body aches and tension, especially around the shoulders, neck, and lower back, as old energetic imprints release.
  • Heightened sensitivity to food, sound, people, and environments as our energetic field recalibrates.
  • Sleep disturbances as subconscious processing intensifies, especially during key lunar or cosmic cycles.
  • Emotional waves that manifest physically, such as tightness in the chest, digestive issues, or fluctuations in temperature.

These are all signs that the body is recalibrating, and rather than resisting, the key is to support the body in its adjustment with care and patience.

How to Look After Yourself During Deep Recalibration

  1. Nervous System Regulation
    • Engage in grounding practices like walking barefoot on the earth, gardening, or immersing in nature.
    • Incorporate breathwork techniques (such as box breathing or diaphragmatic breathing) to signal safety to the body.
    • Reduce overstimulation by limiting screen time, news consumption, and excessive social interaction when needed.
  2. Deep Rest and Restoration
    • Honour your body’s natural rhythms, allowing for extra sleep or rest when required.
    • Practice deep relaxation techniques to support cellular recalibration.
    • Create a bedtime ritual that includes herbal teas, essential oils (lavender, chamomile), and soothing music.
  3. Hydration and Nourishment
    • Drink plenty of structured or mineral-rich water to support detoxification.
    • Consume easily digestible, high-vibrational foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
    • Avoid overstimulating substances like excessive caffeine or processed foods, which can strain the system.
  4. Energetic Hygiene
    • Regularly clear your energy field through salt baths, smudging (with sage, palo santo, or frankincense), or sound healing.
    • Visualize golden light cleansing your aura and resetting your vibrational state.
    • Protect your energy by setting clear boundaries with people and environments that feel draining.
  5. Body-Mind Integration
    • Engage in gentle practices like slow stretching, yin yoga, or Tai Chi to help the body process and release tension.
    • Use gentle self-massage and fascia release techniques to ease muscular tension caused by emotional processing.
    • Work with affirmations and mantras that align with the transformation you are experiencing.
  6. Creative and Expressive Release
    • Journal your experiences to bring unconscious shifts into conscious awareness.
    • Engage in creative outlets such as painting, movement, or singing to allow the emotions to flow through expression.
    • Share in trusted circles where you feel safe to voice your experiences without judgment.
  7. Trust the Process
    • Recognize that discomfort is part of deep transformation and that resistance prolongs the pressure—surrender to the process.
    • Acknowledge the wisdom of your body and trust that it knows how to recalibrate when given the right conditions.
    • Remember that this work is not just personal—it is collective, and as we heal ourselves, we contribute to the healing of the greater whole.

Final Reflection

These times are calling for resilience, but not through force—rather through a gentle honouring of our process. The pressure we feel is not here to break us; it is here to refine us, to burn away what no longer serves, and to bring us into deeper alignment with our authentic essence. As we navigate these heightened energies, the most radical act of self-care is listening to what our body, mind, and spirit truly need—moment by moment, breath by breath.

Where the Real Magic Lives

We live in a world that constantly encourages us to set goals, chase dreams, and measure success by achievements. There’s nothing wrong with having ambitions—goals give us direction and purpose. But have you ever noticed that when we finally reach those long-anticipated milestones, the joy is often fleeting? We check the box, celebrate for a moment, and then move on to the next thing.

What if the real magic of life isn’t found in the end result, but in the way we live every single day?

Values Over Goals

Goals are wonderful guides, but they are not what define a meaningful life. It’s our values—kindness, integrity, presence, love, curiosity, wisdom—that shape who we truly are. When we live in alignment with these deeper truths, we create a life that feels fulfilling, no matter what external successes we achieve.

Think about it—if you reach a career milestone but sacrifice your well-being or relationships along the way, does that really feel like success? If you accomplish something great but rush through the experience, always thinking about what’s next, have you truly lived that moment?

When we shift from a goal-driven mindset to a values-driven one, everything changes. Life becomes richer. Decisions become clearer. Instead of constantly striving for “more,” we start appreciating what is already here.

The Power of Presence

We often believe happiness exists somewhere in the future—after we accomplish something, after we fix something, after we become a better version of ourselves. But in truth, joy is available to us in the present moment.

When we slow down and approach life day by day, task by task, we invite a sense of flow and ease into our experience. Rather than getting lost in the endless pursuit of “what’s next,” we start noticing the magic in the small things—a smile exchanged with a stranger, the sound of rain against the window, the quiet satisfaction of completing something with care.

Life isn’t meant to be one grand performance where we constantly strive to impress or prove ourselves. It’s meant to be lived. Fully. Intentionally. With gratitude for the simple, everyday moments that often go unnoticed.

Creating Space for More Joy

So how do we cultivate this way of being? It starts with presence. Instead of waking up and immediately thinking about everything we need to accomplish, we can begin the day by grounding ourselves—taking a deep breath, setting an intention, remembering what truly matters.

Throughout the day, we can remind ourselves to slow down. To bring awareness to the little things we normally rush through. To appreciate the process instead of just the outcome.

And most importantly, we can let go of the pressure to “arrive” somewhere and instead embrace the idea that we are already exactly where we need to be.

Where the Magic Lives

At the end of the day, it won’t be the checked-off to-do lists or the trophies on the shelf that define the quality of our lives. It will be the love we shared, the presence we cultivated, and the joy we found in the ordinary.

So rather than asking, “What big goal should I chase next?” perhaps the better question is:

“How can I show up fully for today?”

Because when we live in alignment with our values, when we infuse presence into the simplest of tasks, life becomes something truly extraordinary.

And that, my friend, is where the real magic lives.

What’s the Purpose of Your Desire?

Hello wondrous Souls,

Today I am talking about the motivation behind our desires in life.

We often chase desires without truly understanding the deeper “why” behind them. We say, “I want money,” “I want a better job,” or “I want to be successful.” But why? What purpose lies beneath these desires? What is calling you forward, and how does it align with your soul and God’s divine plan for your life?

Desire, at its core, is a compass pointing toward your purpose. It is the spark of possibility, a whisper of what could be. But without a heartfelt reason, your WHY, behind your desires, you can lose momentum, become distracted, or find yourself chasing hollow goals that leave you unfulfilled. To keep moving forward on your path, you must ask yourself: What is the purpose of my desire?

Asking the Right Questions

For example, when you say, “I want money,” it’s not enough to stop there. The desire for money isn’t the end goal—it’s simply a means to something deeper. So ask yourself:

  • Why do I want money?
  • What will it provide for me?
  • What will it allow me to create, experience, or give?
  • How does it align with the life I’m being called to live?

If your answer is rooted in fear or ego—”I want money so people will respect me”—it may be time to pause and reflect. True alignment comes when your desires are connected to something greater, something sacred. Perhaps you want financial freedom so you can spend more time with loved ones, contribute to causes you care about, or create something meaningful that leaves a legacy.

This deeper “why” anchors your purpose and gives you strength to keep moving forward, even when challenges arise.

Your Purpose is Bigger Than You

The greatest desires are not just about you. They are about how your attributes, unique gifts, passions, and dreams contribute to the world. The Creator, Great Spirit, God, The Divine Living Presence – what ever you choose to call your divine source, has a plan for you, which is always connected to love, growth, and service. It’s about how you can embody your highest self and fulfill your divine potential—not for your own glory, but for the upliftment of all.

So, ask yourself:

  • How does my desire align with the highest good?
  • How can I serve others through my purpose?
  • What does the Creator want to express through me?

When your desires align with God’s plan, they feel expansive, inspired, and infused with grace. You become a vessel for something greater, and the universe begins to conspire in your favour.

Strategies to Keep Moving Forward on Your Purpose

  1. Anchor Your “Why”
    Write down the deeper reason behind your desire and revisit it daily. This keeps you connected to your purpose and reminds you why you started in the first place.
  2. Visualize Your Higher Calling
    Take time to meditate or journal about your purpose as if it’s already unfolding. Imagine how it feels to live in alignment with your desires and Great Spirit’s plan. This strengthens your connection to your vision and fuels your motivation.
  3. Surrender and Trust
    Your purpose is a partnership with the divine. Surrender the need to control every detail, and trust that God’s timing is perfect. When things feel uncertain, lean into faith. Know that what’s meant for you will find its way.
  4. Serve Along the Way
    Purpose is not a destination—it’s a way of being. Look for ways to serve others, even in small ways, as you move toward your desires. This creates momentum and aligns you with the abundant flow of The Divine Living Presence.
  5. Surround Yourself with Soulful Support
    Share your journey with people who uplift and inspire you. Community keeps you grounded and provides encouragement when the road feels difficult.
  6. Celebrate Progress
    Every small step forward is sacred. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small, and honor the progress you’re making toward your higher purpose. Gratitude magnifies blessings.

You Are Meant for More

Remember, your desires are not random. They are whispers from your soul, guiding you toward the life you were created to live. When you align your desires with God’s plan, you step into a flow of grace, joy, and abundance that transcends the material world.

So, ask yourself today: What is the purpose of my desire? And how can I honour that purpose with love, faith, and unwavering trust in the divine plan?

The world needs you—your gifts, your light, your unique purpose. Keep moving forward, one inspired step at a time. The journey is as sacred as the destination.

My Responsibility To You Is To Be Me

Hello wondrous Souls,

I remember the first time I heard Maya Angelou say, “When people show you who they are, believe them.” It resonated so deeply with me that I’ve carried it with me ever since.

Over time, though, I saw how my own life experience of Maya’s quote also had roots in one of my own life motto’s: 

My Responsibility To You Is To Be Me

This weaving of insights has brought me so much clarity. It reminds me that actions speak louder than words and that consistent behaviour is the true measure of a person’s character. And here’s the beauty of it—it applies to both the good and the not-so-good aspects of people’s nature.

Letting Go of the Need to Change Others

One of the most freeing lessons I’ve learned is this: You cannot change people. Only they can do that. When someone’s actions reveal their true nature—whether through patterns of negativity or behaviour that crosses your boundaries—it’s not your job to fix or shape them.

Instead, I’ve found peace by focusing on my own energy, creating space where needed, and managing my own expectations. Sometimes, that means creating physical or emotional distance. Even if someone is family or a long-time friend, I’ve learned that when their actions consistently don’t respect my presence and values, they may not be a friend ~ And that’s okay.

On The Positive Side

But here’s the other side of the coin, and it’s equally important: when people show you who they are in positive ways, believe them too.

Think of the friend who consistently shows up for you, the colleague who goes the extra mile, or the loved one who surprises you with kindness and understanding. When people reveal their goodness, their generosity, and their compassion, let that sink in. It’s easy to focus on the negative, but we can miss the beauty of the positive examples people offer every day.

Recognizing and valuing these moments deepens trust and connection. It allows us to honour the goodness in others and appreciate the people in our lives who uplift and inspire us.

Setting Your Guidelines with Clarity

For those who cross the line, are inappropriate or act disrespectfully, you can respond with grace and strength. Here’s one of my favorite approaches:

  • Pause. Allow for silence—a moment long enough to feel slightly uncomfortable.
  • Respond clearly. Say something like: “What you just said is below my standard for a response.” Another is: “My responsibility to you is to be me. So, I choose not to engage with what you just said.”

This clarity and calmness shift the dynamic without unnecessary confrontation. It’s a way to protect your peace while maintaining your integrity.

Celebrate the Good

On the flip side, when someone shows you their good nature, celebrate it. Tell them what you see in them. For example:

  • “I appreciate how thoughtful you’ve been lately—it really means a lot to me.”
  • “Your kindness inspires me to be a better person.”
  • “Thank you for always showing up with such grace and generosity.”

Acknowledging the good in people not only strengthens your relationships but also creates a ripple effect of positivity.

Peace Starts with You

At the end of the day, the way people show up in our lives is out of our control. What we can control is how we respond. When people show you who they are—whether through their challenges or their gifts—believe them.

Choose to protect your peace with those who drain you, and celebrate the light in those who uplift you. Life becomes richer when we honour the truth in others, while always staying true to ourselves.

Choosing New Timelines for Self-Empowerment

Decisions, Distinctions, Direction and Desires

In your daily life, you often perceive time as a linear progression, moving from past to present to future. Yet, within the depths of your infinite soul, you recognize a far more expansive truth: all things, all possibilities exist and are happening simultaneously. Imagine a world where every choice, every potential outcome unfolds in parallel, similar to the divine story in the movie “Sliding Doors.” This is the essence of manifestation, fully and instantly embodied. All you need to do is decide the timeline you wish to embrace.

Creating Timelines of Empowerment

You have the power to create timelines of empowerment, grounded in the sacred principles of self-love, trust, and compassion. These timelines serve as gateways to transcend the conventional identity and life you may feel confined within, opening up a divine realm of bliss, peace, freedom, and prosperity. Through these transformative timelines, you can shed layers of limitation and step into a boundless existence where your true spiritual potential is realized.

Stepping Into Your Highest Self

Envision a version of yourself who lives each day from a place of profound gratitude and sacred intentionality. This version of you is deeply connected to inner divine guidance, effortlessly flowing with the rhythm of your Soul. Confidence radiates from within as you step boldly into the fullest expression of your divine essence. This empowered version of you is not just a distant dream but a vibrant reality waiting to be embraced.

Meeting Your Empowered Self

You can embark on a spiritual journey to meet this empowered version of yourself. By choosing the timeline that aligns with your highest good, you will discover a life filled with joy, purpose, and unlimited possibilities. Let us dissolve the barriers that have kept you tethered to a limited existence and step into a new spiritual dimension where your dreams are not just possible but inevitable.

The Journey Begins Now

The journey to your highest self begins with a single decision—to embrace the infinite possibilities that lie within and around you. Through the portals of empowerment you create, you will unlock a profound transformation, moving beyond fear and doubt into a life of divine clarity and empowerment.

Embrace the infinite, choose your sacred timeline, and step into your spiritual power. Your journey to a life of sacred beauty and sacred prosperity can start right now.
