A Sacred Shift

Today, I made a small change that holds deep meaning.

I decided to stop calling this space a blog… and start calling it what it truly is—a journal. Not a place for polished posts or finished thoughts, but a living, breathing archive of my journey. A place to honor the moments that rise, layer by layer, as I continue to awaken and remember.

There’s something sacred about documenting in real time. Letting the pages reflect the unfolding, the whispers, the revelations—not the conclusions. So from this day forward, I’m letting go of the pressure to present and choosing instead… to witness.

⸻

This is my journal of remembrance.

A space where I return to moments I once moved past too quickly… where I sit with the visions, whispers, and sacred echoes that have followed me all my life. Some I understood at the time. Most, I didn’t. But now I see: I’ve always been awakening.

This journal isn’t a guide or a teaching.
It’s a living archive of my journey—layered, unfolding, real. A place where I let the pages hold what Love is revealing… in its own timing, in its own way.

What I share here reflects my current understanding—but I hold it all with open hands. Because I have the right to grow. The right to shift. The right to release what once felt like truth as deeper insight comes.

Daily, I am remembering.
Daily, I am awakening.

What you’ll find here are glimpses—of wonder, of wrestling, of clarity, of becoming. And if something speaks to you as you read, may you receive what’s meant for your journey.

We each awaken in our own way, in our own time.
All I ask is that this space remains sacred—
a non-judgment zone where every path is honored, and Love has room to meet us wherever we are.

Peace & Love Intertwined

I remember when quiet time in the morning felt like an obligation—like something I had to do to prove my devotion. It carried pressure, expectation, and duty. “Give God your first,” they said. And while I understood the intent, it often felt forced, like a demand rather than an invitation.

But now? Now, when I wake and settle into meditation, reflection, and gratitude, I do it not because I must, but because I get to. I do it because it feels like loving myself well. Because in stillness, I am met with Love. In quiet, I am held by Peace. In presence, I am reminded of the depth of who I am and who Love is within me.

It no longer feels like a struggle, a box to check, or a sacrifice to prove my faithfulness. It is a rhythm of grace, a space where Love meets me, where I get to simply be—with Love, in Love, and as Love.

And isn’t that the truth of it? Love is never demanding. Love is never transactional. Love simply is.

I used to think that God needed my time in a certain way, at a certain hour, with a certain posture. But the truth is, Love has never been about performance. Love is always about presence. And when I sit in the quiet, I realize that all of it—meditation, reflection, gratitude, peace—is already rooted in Love. Even in the busyness of life—work, cooking, traffic, dinners, and outings, whether alone or surrounded by family and friends—Love is always here, steady and present.

I don’t have to strive to be in Love’s presence. I already am.

And in this, I remember—Jesus, the Prince of Peace, left us His peace. A peace that flows, not as the world gives, but as Love freely offers. A peace that is steady, unwavering, and whole. A peace that is not earned but received.

I remember the moment I felt Love—really felt it. Back in 2016, when I asked Papa (God) to experience His love, and it came crashing over me in waves. By the third day, I thought my heart would burst. And Love whispered, “This doesn’t even touch the surface of how much I love you.”

That Love has marked me. That Love has changed me. That Love is within me.

And that is the Love I long to pour out into the world—to my husband, my children, my grandchildren, my family, my friends, the strangers I meet along the way. I want the essence of my life to scream LOVE. Because there is so much pain in this world, and people need to know—really know—how deeply, how endlessly, how wholly they are loved.

And so, I begin my day in Love. Not because I have to. But because Love is who I am. And more than anything, Love is the legacy I want to leave behind.

1. How has your perspective on spending time with Love (God) shifted over the years? Do you approach it as an obligation or an invitation?

2. In what ways can you cultivate more presence in your daily life, recognizing that Love is always with you?

3. What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?

Encountering Love: Unique, Personal, Without Agenda

As a parent, I’ve come to understand that my love for each of my children is unique. I don’t love one more than another; rather, I love each according to who they were created to be. This insight led me to a deeper reflection: If my love for my children is unique, how much more personal and intentional is Love’s relationship with us?

Yet, we often assume Love must interact with everyone in the same way. But the truth is, Love meets us where we are, speaking in a language designed for our hearts to understand. Ten people can encounter Love and walk away with ten beautifully different experiences, each shaped by who they are. And yet, we sometimes struggle when someone’s experience doesn’t mirror our own. What seems unusual to one person may be Love’s intimate way of speaking to another.

We try to fit Love into our logic, our rules, and our understanding. But the One who spoke light into the void, who shaped the vast universe with a word, cannot be confined to human limitations. Love moves beyond our perceptions, beyond the walls of our experiences and traditions. Love transcends every bias and boundary we’ve built.

Our role is not to preach or convert—it is simply to love. To love without an agenda. To love without the need to control an outcome. But truly loving others requires us to release hidden motives. Too often, we feel an unspoken pressure to “save” people, to pull them into alignment with our beliefs, or to measure whether our love is making an impact. Yet, Love never operates from obligation. Love simply is. Love meets people right where they are, in ways that only Love can.

And when we live in Light & Love, our lives speak louder than words. Authentic love doesn’t need to convince—it simply shines, and in that radiance, hearts are stirred. When we share from a pure and open heart, Light & Love resonate deeply, awakening something within others. It’s not about persuasion; it’s about reflection. When people witness genuine love, they begin to crave that same depth, that same freedom. Authenticity calls forth authenticity, and those who encounter it often feel drawn to explore their own journey with new intention.

When Jesus said, “They will know you by your love,” He was calling us into a love that gives life, restores identity, and reveals truth. The world is weary of words that divide, of messages that diminish worth, of voices that impose false identities. But Love speaks in a way that reminds us who we are—made in Love’s image, reflections of Love itself. There isn’t one human soul that doesn’t carry this essence.

May we release our judgments and open our hearts. May we stop projecting our understanding onto others and trust that Love will reveal itself in ways only Love can. And as we lean into this truth, may we become aware that we are a reflection of Love.

Trusting the Voice Within: A Journey, Not a Test

There’s something deeply beautiful in the way Love invites us into decisions—not as a single destination to “get right,” but as a journey to share together. Recently, as I walked alongside a friend processing a decision, I felt Love’s heart gently inviting her, not just to make the “right” choice, but to find peace, to step into a journey—an adventure of trust and closeness with Love.

I realized that often, our focus becomes the decision itself: the outcome, the path, the “rightness” of it all. We’re raised in a world—sometimes in communities of faith, too—where it feels like there’s one correct step, one “right” path, and that any misstep could set us back. Yet, Love isn’t placing that weight on our shoulders. Love is inviting us into relationship, into process, into an ongoing conversation that brings peace, not pressure.

This is the beauty of being in intimate communion with Love: walking in the quiet stillness before the noise of the day, in a space that feels sacred and untainted. It’s in this stillness that Love speaks—not with a demand for answers, but with a gentle whisper, saying, “Let’s walk through this together.”

When we rely on external validation or rush to gather everyone’s opinions, it’s like inviting too many voices into a conversation meant for just the two of us. No one can be in that sacred place with us, in that one-on-one connection with Love. Only Love knows the fullness of what we’re experiencing and how to lead us. And while Love may send confirmations through others, that doesn’t mean we need to depend on them to find our way. Those confirmations are reminders that, yes, we’re on the right path, but the journey itself—the trust, the intimacy—is the real gift.

Reflecting on my own life, I think back to when my husband and I were called to move out of Connecticut. The voices we expected to affirm us, those we respected and trusted, couldn’t see what Love had placed in our hearts. And that’s okay. We weren’t meant to depend on them for permission or validation; we were meant to trust the voice of Love within us. When we stop waiting on human confirmation and instead lean into the stillness and knowing Love has placed inside us, we find a peace that doesn’t require external support.

In those moments of stillness, when I close my eyes, I feel the beauty of Love’s heart—a space created just for me to rest in. I rest in the truth that Love has always known me, created me, and walks with me. As I listen, a path unfolds within—clear, peaceful, and steady. There’s no rush, no fear of missteps, only the gentle leading of Love.

This relationship isn’t about ticking boxes or fearing a wrong step. It’s about walking with Love as Adam did in the garden, walking in the cool of the morning before the noise, before the day gets busy. In that sacred space, there’s a peace that surpasses understanding—an invitation to walk hand in hand with Love, a dance of trust, and an unfolding path of beauty and freedom.

Reflection Questions:

1. Where have you invited too many voices into a decision that Love may be asking you to navigate together—just the two of you?

2. Can you find a moment today to “walk” with Love and listen for the still, small whisper within?

3. What would it look like to trust the guidance Love has placed within you, even if the confirmation comes from unexpected places?
