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.

Be of high standing
Be of high standing:- Be of service to make a positive difference to the world for the benefit of all rather than structure your service to be at an advantage over others just to feel “superior” over them.

Take care of your spiritual health too
We are both human and spirit so it is also important to be in great spiritual health through purifying our thoughts and acting from our purified thoughts. Purification:- that which will place us or anyone in a higher state of being by our action.

BeFlexible
Be flexible and willing to bend a little when meeting your life changes. Being too rigid may only cause you unnecessary pain. Life changes are inevitable and it will serve us well to embrace them with flexibility.

On Unity
Coming together in Unity does not mean that you have to lose your individuality. It means individuals or individual units coming together with a shared vision to do something for the good of all the individuals or individual units involved or for the benefit of a broader cross-section of humanity.

Make yourself ready for that opportunity
There are certain things in life that are meant for each of us to help with our spiritual growth or our fulfillment but we don’t always know how to get them. When we go about life in anger, jealousy, greed, holding grudges, lack of integrity, lack of compassion, fear, low self esteem, worrying about what people will say etc. instead of being our authentic self, we delay the time these things come to us. When we can free ourselves of these limiting energies so that we can effectively follow higher Divine guidance or divine inspirations or the guidance of our soul(our intuition), we go about getting what is meant for us the quickest. In other words, making ourselves ready for when the Universe brings that opportunity to us so we can be in the right “state of being” to RECOGNIZE it and ACT on it as opposed to missing it because we are unprepared.

Release your attachmentto the past
Don’t look back at your past with regret or anger. Even though your past has shaped your present, this is not about your past but about where you are right now. Take only the lessons from your past and use them to move forward smoothly. Additionally, when you “release your attachment” to the past, (not the same as forgetting your past), you clear your mind to receive inspirations to guide you closer to your goals.
