Aloha, 

When fear is the basis of our choices, the quality of our life is vastly diminished, so I have decided to dedicate Fridays to fearless living. If you have questions or a story to share, please let me know by emailing me or leaving a comment in the comments box below.

We all deal with fear in many ways. At one end of the spectrum, we realize that fear is nothing more than:

F alse
E vidence
A ppearing
R eal

I heard that acronym a lot in 12 step meetings. Then I realized that at the other end of the continuum fear causes us to:

F orget
E verything
A nd
R un

What is your habitual way of dealing with fear?

Aloha,

We are always surrounded by angels. We swim in a sea of unlimited, unconditional love totally filled with celestial beings of light that are more than willing and able to help us. The only catch is we have to ask and then be willing to accept the assistance.

Here are 7 easy things you can do to open up those floodgates of love, light, and laughter, and experience the wonders of divine intervention in your life.

1. Spend some time each day in prayer.

Prayer is simply the act of asking.  It is a conversation with God, the universe, a higher power, Mother Earth, or a specific angel, saint or deity. Whoever or whatever you choose to pray to, think of prayer as a conversation with a supportive friend. You don't have to beg for help. It is more a matter of just opening your mind and your heart. State your problem and ask for guidance and assistance.

On Wednesdays, I post an image that you can use as a visual meditation. Years ago I found that one of the most powerful spiritual practices was silence. For a time, I practiced spending at least one day a month in total silence. I was amazed by the results in my life. So on Wednesdays, at least for a few minutes while you look at the images I post, sit in silence and allow the love and wisdom of the universe to fill your heart and your mind.

I have had a lot of people ask me how to connect with angels and spirit guides, so I made this video.

People often ask me: What are angels? Here is an excerpt from my book that answers the question.

Angels and archangels are spiritual beings whose primary function is to act as intermediaries between mortals and God. Angels have fascinated human beings for millennium. The are usually depicted as very graceful and beautiful beings with wings. When someone says, "You're an angel" they usually mean you are a blessing and have probably been very helpful.

Angels are always willing to be of assistance. They love you and they want you to be happy. They will never interfere in your life unless you ask for their assistance. Angels can't do anything for you, but they can guide you, make suggestions, and help you avoid potential obstacles. In return they simply ask that you deepen your connection with your spirit and open your heart to the powerful forces of love and gratitude.
