These tiny red enamel and crystal beads (pictured above) have been separated by time and space for at least four months. Today, while returning jewelry stored in my safe (stashed there while my home went through another phase of cleansing), one of the missing beads appeared in a different box.
This is not a case of misplacement. In my heart and mind, it is truly a return from spirit. Why do I think this?

Flying dreams, astral travels, journeys of Soul beyond this physical realm—if you’ve experienced any of these, you probably remember the feeling of freedom, joy, and wonder that accompanied you on these sojourns beyond the normal, mundane world.

A two-thousand-dollar settlement from my seventh car accident enabled me to buy a ticket to Mexico, where I planned to live for the winter and heal my broken heart after losing my mom to cancer. I had no idea how long I could live on the small bundle of traveler’s checks I carried with me in my wallet, but I set sail on this new adventure despite the inconvenience of a lonely headwind.

The Universe has countless ways of teaching us about love, often through the most unexpected encounters. On the first day of 2025, as the world welcomed a new beginning, I received such a wonderful lesson at our favorite park, where a serene pond usually hosts a community of graceful ducks and a solitary great blue heron.

The Heart (or Heart Center) can be a reliable connection to Soul within, to spiritual guidance. This song narrates some of the common challenges we face in life, such as when things go wrong no matter what we do, or dealing with self doubt, or criticism. The lyrics remind us to listen to the heart, trust the heart, believe in the heart. This song is sung in a way that can evoke deep and supportive feelings.

Early in the morning, I beat the tourist crowds to Florence‘s Boboli gardens to get some writing and contemplation done. After two weeks on holidays, I needed to get away to a place where I could gather my thoughts and hold a spiritual focus without distraction.
During a spiritual exercise the night before, I was having Master Chu-Ko Yen enter my awareness. He was the subject of a spiritual exercise I created.

Many years ago, a friend asked me if I would like to go with her to meet two little dogs that needed a home. She had originally sold them to a woman who moved and had left them with her brother who had no time for them. When I entered the home where they were staying, the entire living room was filled with a brilliant blue light. I recognized the Light as the presence of my spiritual teacher. As soon as I recognized the sign, the blue light disappeared.

2025 promises to be a year of great change. Yes, a tough year in some respects, but huge improvements in many areas. At least that’s what I’m expecting.
The title of the song embedded below hints at what most of us are feelin’ in our bones. If the changes bring us a greater capacity to love, we should embrace 2025 with open arms and grateful hearts.

This haiku arrived while making soup; they ‘whispered’ and I heard.
Every moment can be a miracle… when we’re open to what appears before & within us.
