After many years in strategic leadership roles across global institutions—spanning project management, management sciences, and complex systems—I chose early retirement from corporate life to follow a more soul-guided path. I now walk the path of my highest purpose. I am also a mother of two daughters, a widow, and a friendly presence to everyone I meet. I bring my whole self into everything I do. My writing is spiritually inspired, shaped by a lifelong devotion to purposeful service and a journey of conscious, lived experience.
Authentic experiences come from one’s actions being in alignment with one’s nature in its pure form, of the soul, and not of the inflated or deflated ego. Aligning with one’s authenticity helps one to successfully live a meaningful and fulfilled life—rich in spirit; of high integrity; unconditionally loving oneself; relating fairly, peacefully and respectfully; as one’s true self.

Each of us has to do our part using the uniqueness God gifted us to shine our light with a ray only we can bring forth. Together we can make a positive difference on the world to create the “new world”.

Shadow work helps us to love the part of us that feels rejected or feels “bad” especially when exposed to others. Every part of us has its place so working to accept and integrate that part that needs more love and healing can open us up to unconditional self love which helps with our inner peace and with reaching our full potential.

Compassion for each other brings us together in Unity consciousness where we feel connected by the same “source”.
Self-righteous judgment of others puts us in separation consciousness where we feel apart from each other and of different “sources”.

Put your energies and focus where you know you can be effective. Put your whole self into your life purpose (your calling) and peck, peck away at it.
Our calling is given to us by God which means success is guaranteed when we put our best effort into it, every step of the way.
(This is our calling given to us by God so “our best effort” also includes acting at our highest form with pure intentions and relating respectfully, fairly and with compassion.)

“Anger from anyone in response to you exercising your right” is not an acceptable response. We may encounter this from our outer world in one or some of its forms. Don’t let this harsh anger energy prevent you from amicably pursuing what’s meant for you or what is your right. That’s also part of taking care of yourself, your responsibility to yourself.

Sometimes in listening to others, we need to remove thoughts about ourselves, so that we can focus and understand what is being told from the other’s point of view. We would wish same from them. This is at the heart of empathy.

If we could understand people’s reactions from their state of being, then it would be easy to rise above the fray to someone’s intentionally hurtful verbal reaction to our pure action. Where “rise above the fray” is to deal well with an unpleasant situation. An empowered soul would not succumb to limiting emotions, the likes of hatred; revenge; anger etc. in their response.

Your hard work, moving one peck (step) at a time progressing in a rhythm dictated by the essence of your true (soul)self and the passion of your soul for your dreams, has not gone unnoticed by the Universe. You will indeed win if you trust your intuition or Divine guidance, stay the course and allow the Universe to work. Don’t forget to savor the process by being grateful at every peck of the way.
Believing in something bigger than ourselves (God, the Universe or whatever name we call the highest Divine power) helps us to remain hopeful even in trying moments. It gives us the serenity to be able to focus and work on what we can do now and not occupy our thoughts on what is out of our control including unknown future outcomes. When we can fully focus on the potential that this moment has, we create at our maximum, even in trying moments.

—Divine love is unconditional and flows without interruption of the ego which would question if the person’s malicious action towards us deserves our love in return.
—Divine love would see that such malicious action came from a person who is probably broken and is in need of love.
—Divine love would not wish ill on the person in return but would wish them healing and inner peace for themselves first and also for preventing them hurting others.
