I have a special altar in my home that we've relegated just for our Ancestors. My grandparents are there along with my partner's family and friends. On this special altar, we even have our beloved Buster, our dog that passed away this year.

This altar is special to us. It represents a place of honor, respect, and memories.  

Sometimes, I'm caught off-guard by a passing memory of my grandmother, and my eyes are invariably drawn to this altar. I feel like it's a message that she's delivering to remind me of our connection.

This month, we're focusing on honoring our Ancestors and our sacred bond with them.

We have a special position and part to play. We hold a very important purpose which is to be a Bridge of Light for our ancestral line.

Being a Bridge of Light is a conscious act of attention, awareness, and service.  

Each of us exists as a potential Bridge of Light. We hold our Ancestors' dreams, efforts, and hopes while also carrying the dreams, efforts, and...

Recently, the Record Keepers called me to take a deep meditative journey with them and the Time Lords. It happened recently on a Saturday night where I had a rare evening alone to myself. I could sense their urgency as if they had something important to deliver.

I followed through on their request for council and prepared my space. First, I brought out music instruments, watercolor paper, markers, paints, and pencils. Then, I quieted my mind and set out in silence, waiting to hear their message.

“The practice of building habits is the process of becoming yourself.” James Clear, Atomic Habits

I remember when I heard this phrase. Part of me stopped in acknowledgment and the other part of me, on autopilot, kept going, as if it didn’t quite hear or process what I had just seen and heard.

So I did something uncharacteristic of myself. I paused my audiobook, rewound it to this quote, and replayed it again. I replayed this quote over ten times, registering and absorbing the depth of this message.

The process of ‘becoming yourself’ is the most important conscious action you can take right now. 

Becoming yourself isn’t just about habits. It’s about how we master ourselves as we’re mastering our Time on Earth.

Time, that friendly force that’s always around us, exerting pressure while also distracting us from realizing its constancy, won’t always be that way throughout our lives. Some days we’ll feel like we...

It was 5 o'clock Friday rush-hour traffic in Austin. 75% of the roads were blocked and stagnant in non-movement, and I had an interesting dilemma in front of me.
 

I had promised my daughter that I'd pick up her friend in Round Rock and bring her to our home for a sleepover. I had also promised my bandmates that we'd have band practice at 6:00 pm. 

On a good day, you can get to Round Rock from South Austin in 45 minutes, but that would be more like 90 minutes on a regular Friday in Austin. Without any accidents.

It was 5 pm, and I was just leaving my house. Can you understand my conflict?

I closed my eyes and did the one thing I felt called to do. I commanded and asked the Time Lords for help. I asked them to help me bend time and make it to this location and back by 6:00 pm. Please.

That request, my intentions to allow the outcome to appear, and my single-minded focus opened a portal of light that aligned the traffic lights to be green, for...

When the Record Keepers assigned the topic of Embodiment to me, I thought it was going to be a series of simple channeled messages. Nothing is ever simple with the Record Keepers. I should have known better. 

They assign me topics because they know it brings a breakthrough.  That breakthrough often provides the critical step to self-evolution and understanding. Embodiment is that missing step/link between intention and manifesting. However, before you can embody anything, you first have to get really vulnerable with yourself to see what’s in the way. 

‘What’s in the way’ is another way of paraphrasing blocks, resistance or issues.  We all have them and we pile them up on top of us as a barrier or cover for vulnerability.

Vulnerability causes us to feel uncomfortable, naked and potentially open to injury or threat. It doesn’t always feel good to be vulnerable because we’re opening ourselves up to other people’s opinions or...

Do you DO this thing?!?
Let me share with you a pattern that I’ve noticed that keeps happening right before a Retrograde season starts in my life.  I sign up for something (a class, an event, a gathering) and I find myself unable to do it, follow through or commit fully.  This happens almost on a yearly basis.

I’ve accrued a number of projects that have been started but are incomplete. Does this sound familiar to you?  Do you suffer from a similar pattern?

Wait, now before you castigate yourself too bad, remember it’s not just you.

    It may be what’s happening in the planets that’s influencing the outcome. 

Hang tight friends - we’re in the start of a Retrograde season with big planetary shifts and changes underway.  This is an important time to step back and initiate the 3 R’s so you don’t get swept away by wild swings of emotions, communication mismatches or electrical and technology...

She chose to do it with my dad’s support, which left me with my grandparents for four years. It wasn’t an easy decision for her to make and she often tells me that if she could do it over again, she’d do it differently.

However, that’s not the course of life.

In her coming to the...

When I was 8-9 years old, I was quite a handful. I was often lost in my own world, imagining that I could be anything. I’d fantasize about exploring the world on exciting treks, battling ninjas with a well-trained team, acting on a stage, or solving ancient mysteries. I was a dreamer and lived in a split world of reality.

There was the mundane life of family, school, and chores. It didn’t help that my parents were so strict that sleepovers, camps, and friends coming over just didn’t exist. I had one job and that was to study, be good, don’t talk back, and don’t get in the way.

The other world of my imagination was much more inviting. This was a place where I felt wild and free, in touch with life, Spirit, and other Beings.

I didn’t know then that when I went into my imagination, I became a being of Light. I wasn’t constrained by my physicality or limitations unless I imposed it. For a while, there was no imposition.

Then the words of...
