In my last post, I wrote about my departure from Arizona and my landing, after 1700 miles, in North Carolina. The worst of that adventure was traversing the gauntlet of the “Tail of the Dragon,” which, if you are coming from the West, presents itself like some kind of an initiation if you want to live in North Carolina, an initiation to prove you can handle what is yet to come, starting with the physical challenge of the curvy, steep, and narrow roads that are common to this area.

Leaving Arizona
Dear readers, much has been changing in my external world and, hopefully, some in my inner world too since the last several months have been full of emotional opportunities to feel tough emotions, which, when we allow those emotions to flow, can help us grow towards love.

False Belief Unveiled
I want to share an experience I just had with discovering a false belief. As some of you know false beliefs are those beliefs that are out of alignment with God’s Truth—the truth of the universe. These beliefs keep us stuck in wrong thinking, stuck in error, and prevent us from healing our emotional injuries or evolving towards love. Continue reading “False Belief Unveiled”
2018 Summary
On the emotional front:
Whereas most of 2017 was spent battling a well-established habit of self-judgement as a way to avoid really facing the essential course-correcting feedback I received from Jesus and Mary in late 2016, this year was a little better. Continue reading “2018 Summary”
