“Shine your light and make a positive impact on the world; there is nothing so honorable as helping improve the lives of others.” – Roy T. Bennett
I am reading the book “The Power of You,” by Chris Michaels. I have just finished the first chapter. The book is about our relationship with the Divine – the spiritual Presence we know by many names: God, Spirit, Creator. What we call “It” doesn’t matter.
We are all Divinely connected. Individual and unique expressions of Life; each with our own gifts and talents, and capacities for loving and giving. This is how we can truly change the world – by following our bliss; our dreams; our goals; and knowing there is a Divine Presence that wants the best for us. We are Its channels.
We add value to the world, and make a difference in the lives of others, by the simple things we do.
I recently sent a small amount of money to an elderly relative who is living on social security, and a small amount of food stamps. It’s something I learned from my father, who always impressed me with his generosity and I now follow in his footsteps, when I feel called and inspired to do so. Not from obligation, but from a place of loving presence.
We are beacons of light. We have the power to love, to heal, to care for and to bless one another, through our words, our actions, and the very essence of who we are.
I received a message from my relative the other day thanking me, and letting know that my contribution made a significant difference to her sense of security and well-being. It was a small gift, but it meant the world to her.
Our acts of kindness don’t have to be financial – they can be whatever we feel guided and inspired to do, moment by moment. And in doing so, we lift the lives of others, and ourselves, and increase the vibrations of love and well-being on our planet.
THIS WEEK’S TNT
What’s one act of kindness you can do today to make a difference in someone’s life?
It can be an act of kindness to someone you know or to a perfect stranger.
Notice how good it feels to contribute to another’s sense of well-being.
Not from obligation, or winning favor, but from a spirit of love and generosity.
And what we give will come back to us in ways we may never fathom. Like a sacred circle.
Try it for a day, a week, a month, a lifetime.
Little by little, our acts of kindness can, and do, make a difference.
It’s all a matter of practice.
If you like, try using the following affirmation from Chapter 11 of
ALPHABET AFFIRMATIONS: TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE AND LOVE YOURSELF
“MY HEART IS OPEN WIDE. I SPREAD KINDNESS EVERYWHERE I GO.
Then let your heart fill with love, and like a soothing balm flowing through you, let the good feelings fill your body.
As always, I would love to hear your comments, and how this week’s TNT works for you.
With love,
Theresa

Finding your destiny is the ultimate solution in life, because when you’re living as your soul, you experience unity and subsequent problems and planning for the future disappear. – Penney Peirce
I love Penny’s quote.
Finding your destiny doesn’t have to be difficult. Nor does it have to be grandiose. It can be as simple as calling someone you’ve been thinking of, which leads to a new connection or information you’ve been looking for; or feeling inspired to begin or complete a project you’ve put on hold, which builds your confidence and culminates in your success; or heeding the impulse to take a new route home, which results in finding the house you’ve been searching for.
While situations like those cited above, may seem insignificant at the time, each of them provides us with possibilities and blessings that allow our destinies to unfold.
When we follow the soul’s longing, we are led to the next right action, and our lives begin to flow.
This Week’s Tip:
As yourself: “What wants to happen next?” When the answer aligns with your soul’s purpose, you will feel a sense of openness and peace, and if even for a moment, any resistance you’ve been experiencing will cease.
If you would like help discovering your next step, it would be my pleasure to speak with you.

Dear Friends,
I began writing “this week’s” blog last week. Like many of you, my emotions have been up and down after last Tuesday’s election. After a tumultuous campaign season, although it’s only been a week since the election, it feels more like years.
I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary. Perhaps you did, as well, or were a Hillary or Trump supporter. Regardless of who we voted for, one thing is certain – we share a common goal – our desire for love, contentment and happiness is universal.
I am dismayed by the violence of protestors – whether they be for or against Donald Trump. The emotions we are experiencing – on all sides – must be channeled constructively for true and lasting change.
As I reflect on the conflict here, at home, and around the world, I can’t help but think of our brains’ primitive survival mechanism to fight or flee: an automatic response that fuels conflict and war – both interpersonal and global, when we perceive a threat. When we act on automatic pilot, we forget that we have a choice for how we respond – but it takes but it takes discipline and effort. (Think of the last time you reacted to something a loved one said? It’s easy to let ourselves get triggered.)
So with emotions flying high, how do we reconnect – person to person – and find our common ground? How do we listen, with respect and understanding, to what our brothers and sisters are saying without getting lost in a web of fear and hate? Communication is our greatest ally, when we allow ourselves to listen to what one another is saying – underneath the rhetoric.
What goes up must come down. Change is a never ending cycle. Call me naive, but what we perceive as the worst-case scenario now, can bring deep healing and change in the future. As spiritual leaders have told us throughout the centuries, change begins within ourselves. We are not powerless, but how we use our power is essential for the good of all concerned.
Who do we wish to be in the midst of our current political climate, knowing that the energy we put out has an effect on ourselves and the world at large? Our thoughts, behaviors and emotions contribute to love or fear. What do we wish to create in spite of what others are doing?
As Martin Luther King Jr. so graciously wrote in his book Strength To Love in 1963 applies just as much, if not more, now:
“At the center of nonviolence stands then principle of love. The non-violent resister would contend that in the struggle for human dignity the oppressed people of the world must not succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter and indulging in hate campaigns. To retaliate in kind would do nothing but intensify the existence of hate in the universe. Along the way of life, someone must have the sense and morality enough to cut off the chain of hate. This can only be done by projecting the ethic of love to the center of our lives.”
As I contemplate Dr. King’s words, I feel a sense of expansion, and am filled with peace and love. If it feels right to you, I invite you to let his words resonate deep within you. And, should you feel inspired to take action on local or global issues, how do you wish to contribute? Tune in to your heart and listen. If time and resources are not within your current means, sending love is just as powerful an action as others.
In times of doubt or fear, which we are all likely to experience, here are four ways to reconnect to strength and love:
1. Respond. When tempted to react to what you see or hear, take a breath, walk away, and take a moment to calm down. So often, in the heat of emotion, we are tempted to lash out and react, creating fear and suffering for ourselves and others. Giving yourself the time and space required to calm down will allow you to respond with greater confidence and power.
2. Take Inspired Action. Quiet the mind and listen to your heart. Your actions will be more effective and your decisions more impactful.
3. Develop Loving Backbone: Don’t worry about what others are doing or saying. Take a stand for the values you believe in without getting caught in a wave of emotion, blame or judgment. Let the wisdom of your inner voice guide you.
4. Self-Care. When feeling anxious or out of sorts, ask yourself what you need to do to restore harmony and balance. Then honor yourself and take appropriate actions.
Although our state of affairs may look dire and confusing at the moment, we can only see a small fraction of the picture. More will be revealed.
With love,
Theresa

Preamble
Do you suffer from fear and anxiety? Or have a hard time getting to sleep at night because you’re too busy worrying? Fear, anxiety and worry are interconnected and share a common thread. In this week’s TNT, you will learn about a spiritual principle to calm your mind and regain your peace and balance. If you would like support on your journey, scroll down to learn about a special savings on a 90-minute Discovery Coaching session.
Theresa’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool) 5 Ways to Recognize Your Ego and Regain Your Balance
“There is a healer in you, rooted in and always connected to your spirit. To know this healer and make it work in your life you must (once again) get your ego out of the way.” – Wayne W. Dyer
The ego can be persnickety. Masking itself as wisdom, truth, and intelligence, it often pulls us off our path and creates unnecessary anxiety. While it’s important to make informed decisions, holding ourselves back from the changes we wish to make is another story!
As you read the list below, make note of the ones you relate to:
- Do you find yourself worrying about the future?
- Have difficulty making decisions because you’re afraid of making a mistake?
- Would like to make a change in your personal or professional life, but procrastinate?
- Do you tell yourself you don’t have the skills or resources to pursue your goals and dreams?
- Do you wake up in the morning feeling depressed or dreading the day?
If you checked one or more of the above, your ego is getting in the way!
Fear, worry, stress, and other low frequency emotions, zap our energy, affect our health, and are rooted in the ego – or what Buddhists call “the little mind” – which projects doom and gloom into the future and prevents us from living our best lives. And the more fearful we become, the more we condition our minds to believe our projections are real.
I had an epiphany yesterday when I realized I had been feeling overly anxious about a change I’ve been wanting to make. Then, as if the gods waved a magic wand while I was meditating, I recalled this beautiful principle from Dr. Mikao Usui, an enlightened master who discovered the healing art of Reiki.
The principle below is one of five spiritual precepts I learned during my First Degree Reiki Training in 1984, while living in Seattle. I felt an immediate sense of relief as I repeated the words; the worry vanished, and I felt a deep sense of peace, joy, and happiness. I was living in the present.
The precept serves as a guide for living. Open your heart and try it.
“Just for today, I will not worry.”
If you would like to feel more peaceful and create a brighter future, it would be my pleasure to work with you.
I invite you to take advantage of this month’s special offer: A 39% savings on a 90-minute Discovery Session. Please see the details below.***

Preamble
This week’s TNT takes us back in time to those inspired lyrics written by Nat King Cole – “Pick yourself up, dust yourself off…” (recall the words? You got it!) “…and start all over again!”
Theresa’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool) Your Success Is On The Horizon
“Pick yourself off, take a deep breath, dust yourself off, and start all over again.” – Nat King Cole
What great lyrics! What a great reminder!
I recalled the song as I was studying for my Italian class on the subway yesterday. (Thankfully, I have a few chapters of the textbook we’re using on my iPhone, which gives me much needed time to review as I am traveling to and from appointments in the city!)
I had read Capitolo Due (Chapter 2) many times, but was still struggling with a few grammar points – among them the section on indefinite articles (hard enough to recall what the term meant in English!), particularly as it related to the world “buono,” and when to drop the “o” at the end of the word. (Yes, that’s right! It’s “good!” The jingle “Ronzoni soon buoni,” that I grew up hearing as a child finally made sense!). What a joy it was to have the lights turn on and finally understand the grammar.
We often go through the same process in life. Learning something new requires time and patience – whether we’re learning a new language, a new behavior, or a new skill set. Small steps, taken over time, lead to steady progress. Don’t give up before the miracle! Your success is on the horizon!
As always, I’d love to hear from you!
With love,
Theresa

Preamble
I had an interesting experience while riding on the elevator at New York University yesterday, which provided a great metaphor when seeking guidance and direction!
Theresa’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool): Are You Moving In The Right Direction?
“A thousand mile journey begins with the first step.” – Lao-Tzu
I had an interesting experience while taking the elevator down to the lobby after a doctor’s appointment at New York University yesterday. Another woman and I had hopped on on the 9th floor and began chatting. The elevator stopped a few seconds later, and for some reason, we thought we had gone up instead of down. Although the sign on the elevator indicated we were now on the 8th floor, it took us both a few seconds to realize we were going in the right direction! What a great metaphor!
The next time life throws you a curveball, or you wonder if you’re going in the right direction, don’t give up too soon! Be open to the possibility that you may be right on course. Things aren’t always as they appear.

Preamble
Much as been said about the power of gratitude and appreciation. That what we focus on, grows. The field of neuroscience is documenting what sages have known for millennia. Today’s TNT focuses on the art of appreciation – a tool that can help you shift from a negative state of mind to one that’s more satisfying and vibrant.
Theresa’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool) Appreciation: A Tool To Rewire Your Brain For Happiness
“Neurons that fire together wire together.” – Donald Hebb
The quote above was first used in 1949 by Donald Hebb, a Canadian neuropsychologist known for his work in the field of associative learning, and has become a common phrase among neuroscientists. Hebb’s axiom reminds us that every experience, thought, feeling, and physical sensation triggers thousands of neurons, which form a neural network. What’s cool about this, is that we now know how to transform our ‘negativity bias” (a survival skill we developed eons ago) in to a more positive state of mind. Science calls this a “positivity bias.”
By focusing on what we appreciate, we have the power and the ability to rewire our brains for happiness. Stopping throughout the day to take note of what you appreciate is one of many tools that can help you create a healthier, happier brain. What’s really exciting is that science has shown that it takes as little as 10-seconds to begin the process of breaking down old neural networks and replacing them with new ones; something that all of us can do.
This week, I encourage you to practice taking in the Good by stopping to notice what you appreciate – in your surroundings, your relationships, in the food you eat, the support and acknowledgement you receive – the list is endless. Then, close your eyes and soak in the good feelings for 10 to 20 seconds. Building on this practice, over time, can help you transform your negativity bias into a healthier, happier you.
With love, Theresa

Preamble
Do things sometimes (or often!) feel like they’re taking longer than they should? Do you wonder if your plans will ever take root? Today’s TNT may shed light on your path.
Plus, if there is a goal you would like to achieve, or a change you have been longing to make, don’t miss out on my Mother’s Day Coaching Special. Purchase a 6-Week Coaching Program by Sunday, May 15th for a whopping $300 savings. For more information, see the Announcements Section below.
Theresa’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool) Maybe So, Maybe Not
I facilitated a stress management program for the American Red Cross a few months following 9/11. The program focused on teaching participants mind-body techniques to help manage their stress and begin to gently move forward with their lives.
At the end of the workshop a lovely man, who I will call Bob, came up to speak with me. He had been working for the New York City Fire Department, and had resigned his post as a firefighter shortly before the attack on the World Trade Center. When he saw news of the event on CNN, he threw his old Engine House T-shirt on and ran downtown to help. He was running toward Twin Tower Two to join his fellow firefighers, when he stopped to help a man struggling to manage a fire hose.The delay literally saved Bob’s life, as minutes later, the building collapsed, with his buddies inside.
We’ve all heard stories of people who’ve avoided tragedies because of a delay, whether it was missing a flight, being late for work, or taking a wrong turn off the freeway, and thereby avoiding an accident. And of others, who have experienced a success, because their original plans fell through and hadn’t worked out. We can never see the entire story – we can only view the chapter that we’re currently living.
Should you feel frustrated with plans that have seemingly gone awry, and think things may not be working out in your favor, remember this famous Buddhist saying, “Maybe So, Maybe Not.” The block you are experiencing may be a blessing in disguise.
With love,
Theresa

As a Reconnective Healer and Life Coach, three things I often hear people talk about are their needs for more energy, time and sleep. Do you resonate?
One way to increase your energy is by letting go of what drains you. Ironically, we often turn to those very things – TV, food, sugar, alcohol, (can you name a few others?) to give us a boost or to help us relax. Hmmm….time for a dose of more effective medicine!
This simple change may not be easy, but it will help to improve your energy, brighten your mood and create more time to do the things that are important to you, but first, you must be willing to get off the couch! Ready? Take a breath! Here it comes! Can you guess?
Remove the Tube!
You might be ahead of me on this one. I have to admit, I am sucker for TV. I like watching the News Hour and have a few favorite shows (no, not all on PBS!). If you have resistance to removing your tube, or aren’t sure what you’ll replace it with, here’s a little story to encourage you!
Some years ago, I took a 12-week course called The 4 T Prosperity Program (Tithe Your Time, Talents and Treasure); a spiritual class created by Stretton Smith to help his students create greater joy and prosperity in their lives. I took the course at Sacred Center with August Gold, the church’s minister, who insisted on adding a little something extra of her own to the syllabus: a 12-week requirement to “turn the volume down,” by reducing our exposure to the news, and unplugging the television. Whew! The resistance in the room was palpable! After all, what would one do to relax and “tune out?”
Although I cheated to watch the Obama-Clinton debates (the class took place during the primaries), I stepped up and met the challenge! Much to my delight, I noticed several unexpected changes: I slept better (no late night TV interfering with my dream time!), felt happier when I woke, began a photo project I had been neglecting, and made connections with friends I hadn’t previously had time for. In essence, my life began to improve. And yours can, too!
You may not be ready to remove the tube permanently, but why not experiment for the next week or two? Try replacing your viewing time with something more fun and satisfying. Like that class you’ve been meaning to take, the book you’ve been wanting to read, the project that’s been sitting on your shelf, or an activity that would increase your sense of joy and prosperity. And remember, prosperity isn’t just about money!
To join in the experiment, click on “Comments,” located next to the blog title, and let me know what you choose to substitute in place of the tube, then come back next week to share your results.
As always, I would love to hear your comments.

Do you ever feel alone? I do. It’s easy to feel isolated – even in the midst of a large metropolitan city of 8.55 million people, like New York. It seems antithetical, I know. But, it’s true. And I’ve spoken to countless others who feel that way, too, regardless of socio-economic status, race, or gender. There may be times when you feel the same. Don’t think it odd, if you do. It’s an indication of your longing for a deeper, more satisfying connection. In our fast paced, and modern day lives, it’s easy to feel cut off from the nourishment that we so dearly need to flourish and thrive. The good news is there are things we can do to reconnect with ourselves and all of our relations. This month’s Message From The Divine, taken from my September 30, 2008 journal, addresses just that.
I hope you find it helpful.
With Love,
Theresa
***Messages from the Divine stem from inspirational writings and recordings created during my morning meditation. While they are answers to questions I ask about myself, they are universal in nature and may be helpful to you, as well. They are included here with little or no editing.
Message From The Divine: The Cure That Knows No Bounds
Small actions lead to great things.
Saying “I love you” to those you hold close to your heart,
To those whose friendships you trust and value –
And to those who do you a ‘good turn,’
Simply by saying ‘hello’ or extending a hand when you’re feeling down,
Can feel like the Angels sounding their horns.
We all need love.
We all need affection.
We all need touch.
We all need to extend and receive acts of Kindness.
It is a cure that knows no bounds.
During the month of April, think about ways you can reconnect – to yourself, your family, your friends, your community, and to nature. It doesn’t have to require a lot of time, effort, or money. Small steps, like taking in the beauty of the vast blue sky, can remind you that you are part of a larger whole, and fill you with a sense of peace and unity.
As always, I would love to hear your comments.

This week marked my fifth anniversary as a Reconnective Healing Practitioner. While the work has made a huge difference in my life, and in the lives of many of my clients, I would have completely overlooked the date had I not received email from colleagues and clients congratulating me.
It’s easy to neglect our own successes. We may shrug them off or take them for granted and, in doing so, miss out on opportunities to acknowlege the work and accomplishments we have achieved.
Take a moment to celebrate your successes. Beginning an exercise program, changing your diet, cleaning a room or having more fun are all worthy of your time and attention. Soak in the good feelings and acknowledge yourself for a job well done. It will elevate your mood, bolster your confidence and, like medicine, improve your immune system.

And, as an extra gift, I invite you to take advantage of this month’s Special Valentine’s Day Offer and save 33% on a 3-Month Coaching Program. See the Announcements Section below for more information.
And now, in keeping with the theme of love, on to this month’s blog, “Treat Yourself to Love.”
Treat Yourself To Love
“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” – Lao Tzu
dating make you shudder or retreat to your coach to watch reruns of your favorite TV show?
We all desire love. It’s as natural as breathing. We were born to thrive and loving is a necessary component. But we often shelter ourselves and hold back from taking the risk that would lead us to greater happiness and fulfillment.
If you’ve been hiding out, it’s time to try something new and expand your horizons. Here are seven tools, which act like seeds, to help you sprout new roots and blossom:
- When looking for true love, the first step in the process is learning to love yourself. Appreciate who you are and honor your gifts and talents. You will become magnetic and attract people who resonate on your level. You will also be inclined to select a partner who respects and treats you well.
- Having a partner with similar interests in essential for a thriving relationship. Take note of the activities that bring you joy and are important for you to share. The list will help you choose someone with whom you are well suited.
- Are you clam and patient? Energetic and active? Quiet and Reflective? Choosing a partner with a similar temperament will improve your ability to understand and relate to each other.
- Brainstorm a list of qualities you want in a partner to ensure a fulfilling relationship Then, prioritize your list and pick the top 10 attributes as your “must have’s.” Kindness, generosity and good communication are three potential examples.
- Do the same for characteristics that turn you off and are top 10 deal-breakers. Swearing, addictions and self-centeredness are three possible examples.
- Review your list of interests and choose something you’ve wanted to do, but have been afraid to try, and do it. Pick something small enough to get you started, but big enough to stretch you, than build on your success. Doing what you love provides opportunities to meet others who share mutual interests.
- Have fun with the process and don’t be attached to outcomes.
Wishing you a love-filled journey!
Theresa

Preamble
Forgiveness is a powerful practice. As we let go of resentments, and the people we feel have hurt us, or caused harm to those we love, our lives are transformed as we free ourselves to receive a greater flow of love, joy, health and abundance.
This week’s TNT provides a three-step process to help you let go of the past and open your heart.
If you are on my email list, don’t forget to keep your eyes out on Sunday, February 14, for this week’s blog, and my special Valentine’s Day treat!
With love,
Theresa
Theresa’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool) Forgiveness: Moving From Darkness To Light
“Forgiveness is the key to happiness.”
– A Course in Miracles, Lesson 121
As I was contemplating this week’s TNT, the practice of forgiveness came to mind. I’ve written on the topic several times, as it’s a key ingredient for happiness. As I sat at my desk, I felt compelled to share on it again.
I once heard Marianne Williamson, who lectures on A Course in Miracles say, “resentments are like a thin slice of hate.” Although I heard the quote over 20 years ago, the image made such an impression that it continues to stay with me.
Having worked in the healing field for more than 30 years, I am well aware, from my own processes, and those of my clients, that the body responds to resentments like a tight rope around one’s neck. They off our circulation and limit the flow of Life’s Good into our experience. Forgiveness is often confused with condoning someone’s behavior. Nothing is further from the truth. Forgiveness is a practice we do to free ourselves, and in so doing, our health and well-being are subject to improve.
Feelings of animosity can be hard to admit, let alone, sit with. However, the first step in releasing resentments is honesty. Like casting light onto darkness, it is imperative to acknowledge whatever feelings are lurking beneath the surface before we feel a sense of relief and freedom. While it is not necessary to share your feelings with others, being honest with yourself is crucial.
This 3-Step Process will help you to let go of the past and open your heart.
Like any practice, you may need to repeat it multiple times before you feel complete.
Before you begin, I invite you to set the tone by powering down your phone, lighting a candle, and creating a space that feels safe and inviting. Next, take a few deep breaths and envision yourself embraced in a warm and loving light. Know that you are safe and cared for. Then follow the outline below.
Step 1: Begin by asking yourself the following question. You can write it in your journal or, if you prefer, speak and answer it aloud. Choose whichever method feels most comfortable.
“Who do I need to forgive and why?”
Step 2: Trust your intuition and go with the first person or situation that comes to mind. It may be an individual, a political group, a government or an organization. Then, state what you forgive them for. Be sure to be specific. Use the following sentence as your model:
The person I need to forgive is _________. I forgive you for___________.
You may feel multiple resentments for the same person. If so, repeat the sentence until you feel complete. Allow yourself to sit with any feelings that may emerge in the process. Like toxins stored in the body, the anger, disappointment or sadness needs to be released.
Step 3: When you feel ready, complete the process by saying the following statement or create one of your own that helps you release the situation and let go:
(State the person’s name)_____________, I now bless you and release you to your Highest Good and I am freed to mine. (Add anything else that you feel guided to say.)
As you complete the practice, notice how you feel in your body. Let that be the key that informs your future actions.
As always, I would love to hear your comments and the results of the exercise, should you choose to use it.
With love,
Theresa

Preamble
A couple of weeks ago, I happened to catch a talk by Bishop T.D. Jakes on TV and was enthralled. I was inspired to learn more about his uplifting philosophy, so checked a few of his books out of the library. To date, the one that stands out among the rest is entitled “Destiny.”
Theresa’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool): Your Divine Destiny
“Destiny has no expiration date.” – Bishop T.D. Jakes
Do you ever feel tired? Confused? Or like life has (or is) passing you by? Do you feel like you’ve missed your calling or don’t know what it is you are called to be or do?
The quote above proclaims the truth. It is a great reminder when tempted to think we have missed our calling or opportunities to make improvements in our lives.
We all question if we are on track, from time to time, or think we may be too old, not educated enough, etc. The truth is, as long as we are breathing, it’s never too late to change our lives and create a new direction.
If you have been feeling stressed, depressed or dissatisfied with some aspect as your life, I would like to encourage you. You don’t have to settle where you are. You may simply need to refuel and trust that your Divine Destiny awaits you when you are ready to say “yes,” and follow your calling.
This week, take a few minutes to sit quietly and ask yourself what wants to happen in your life. The answers will feel certain and right and you will experience a sense of quiet strength and knowingness within. Then follow the path before you.
With love,
Theresa

Preamble
Are you in a season of lack or abundance? So much of what we experience depends on how open we are to receive that which we desire. This week’s Message From The Divine*** provides a reminder for how we can experience more of what we want.
With love,
Theresa
***Messages From The Divine stem from inspiration writings and recordings created during my morning meditation. While they are answers to questions I ask about myself, they are universal in nature and may be helpful to you, as well. They are included here with little or no editing.
Message From The Divine: How To Welcome More Grace
“God wants to give you the desires of your heart.” – Joel Osteen
Be willing to receive and you will see the fruits of your desires manifest before you.
The gifts you desire cannot penetrate a closed door.
Let the Light shine through –
Even a speck will do
And you will experience God’s Grace
Unencumbered.
Would like to experience more Grace in your life?

Preamble
Do you have expectations of what you should do, be or accomplish? Do they bring you a sense of lightness and joy or create anxiety and stress?
Putting undue pressure on ourselves wreaks havoc on our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
This month’s Message*** is taken from a recent journal entry. I hope you find it helpful
Message from the Divine: Letting Go of Pressure
Pressure does not lead to the answers you seek.
Surrender does.
Trying to force solutions is like attempting to give birth to a baby
Before its time is due.
The answers you seek are right where you are
When you quiet the mind and open your heart to listen.
One moment. One heart beat at a time.
Release your “shoulds” and “must do’s.”
Take a walk or go for a bike ride instead.
Free your mind from thoughts that cloud it
From hearing your inner wisdom.
Lay down the fears that keep you stuck
In a life you no longer desire.
Focus on what brings you joy.
Allow the dreams of your heart to become clear
And guide you to a life of freedom
You deserve the best –
Let yourself receive it.
With Love,
Theresa

Preamble
As I am writing this week’s TNT I am reminded of the 12-Step prayer:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
Wishing us all the courage to change the behaviors and patterns that do not nurture us, that we may have greater health, happiness and fulfillment.
On that note, if you live in New York, or plan to be in the area next Tuesday, please take a look in the Announcements section to learn about a free workshop I will be facilitating on Life Balance at the Leonard Branch Library in Brooklyn, NY. I would love to have you join me!
Wednesday’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool): Soul Food
Just like everything on the earth needs water and sunshine to grow, so too do we need food that nourishes our souls that we may awaken to greater health, happiness and fulfillment.
Life can seem tedious and unsatisfying when filled with “to do’s” and void of activities and ways of being that nurture us.
I have been focused on addressing health issues for the last several months and have decided I need more fun in order to restore a sense of harmony and balance to my own life. I love dancing and have committed to dancing to two Zydeco songs in my dining room every day for the next seven days.
If you feel a need for greater balance in your life, I invite you to choose an an activity that nurtures you – perhaps one that you’ve laid aside because you believed you haven’t had time or energy to enjoy it. Then, make a commitment to spend whatever period of time feels right to you for at least three times during the next week. Notice any changes in how you feel emotionally, spiritually, physically and mentally. Then, if it feels right to you, make it a habit or experiment with something new that pleases you.
Regain your sense of balance.
As always, would love to know how it goes!
With love,
Theresa

Preamble
One never knows where one’s treasures lie! Like my experience on the highway last Sunday, or the man in the photo searching for hidden treasure on the beach (see my Facebook page for photo), it may be beneath your very feet.
Wednesday’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool) The Good, The Bad and The Possibilities
I was driving home from “The Island” (as in Long Island) last Sunday after spending a lovely day at the ocean. About a half-mile from my exit, I was hit from behind by a woman driving a Mini-Cooper (love the car, not the hit). I’ve been experiencing neck and should pain, and to my surprise, have felt traumatized by the accident.
New York is a “no-fault” insurance state, which means that my personal car insurance pays for any medical bills associated with the accident, rather than billing the person responsible. No problem, until spending hours on the phone yesterday trying to find alternative healthcare providers (chiropractors, etc.) who take the insurance. A few tears later, I got a recommendation from a friend for a chiropractor whose office is fairly close to my apartment. Turns out, he helped me redesign a visualization I created to improve my heart health and bone density during our conversation and may have referrals than can benefit me. Life is filled with possibilities!
Next time something seems to go awry, look beyond the obvious. There may be hidden treasure waiting there.
With love,
Theresa

Preamble
Is there something you’ve been struggling with and have a desire to change? These three little words can set your course aright.
Wednesday’s TNT (Tip ‘N Tool): Three Magic Words
I consider the words “I am willing” to be the elixir vitae that have the power to transform our lives and open doors to opportunities that had hitherto been closed.
These three little words, when spoken in earnest, present us with options and direct our lives. You may be in an abusive relationship, in financial straits, have an addiction or be filled with anger or despair. No matter the grievance, these three little words, spoken from a place of deep conviction, will begin to set your life aright. And should you feel resistance to letting go, being willing to be willing to change is enough medicine to get the ball rolling in the right direction.
If you’re ready to shift from struggle to willingness, try this simple exercise:
Close your eyes and take a breath. Then, complete the following sentence as many times as needed to feel a sense of peace and completion. Be spontaneous and let the answers flow.
I am willing to ________________________.
When complete, relax and follow the signs as they direct you to the next right thing. It may come in the form of a message from a friend, a book cover, a dream, or a sense of inner guidance that feels certain and right.
As always, I would love to hear your feedback and experience.
With love,
Theresa

Dear Friends,
I was recently invited to submit an article for Mind Mastery, a forum in the U.K. facilitated by a fellow coach and Gestalt Therapist, whose mission is to promote human development. It was fun to write – one of those pieces that seemed to write itself. I thought you might enjoy it! Here’s a taste, followed by the link:
Fulfilling Your Personal Legend
Life holds many possibilities. When we allow our dreams to take root, and nourish them with our actions, we expand into new horizons and create our personal destinies.
“Our destiny is not mapped out for us by some exterior power; we map it out for ourselves. What we think and do in the present determines what shall happen in the future.” – Christian D. Larson
