All things are possible with God, and things change in the blink of an eye. It’s an illusion that there is not a way through your problems – you cannot get attached to that idea. I find it so extraordinary that people have such faith in their negativity, such faith in fear, and no faith in the power of that sacred current to come in and inspire you, and tell you your way through something.
~Caroline Myss, author and mystic
To say that we live in interesting times may be an understatement. The pandemic, natural disasters, racial issues, climate change and more are swirling around us. It takes mindful attention to not get immersed in fear, anxiety and other similar intense emotions.
We certainly have many opportunities to assess our perspectives and attitudes about what is happening. Meditation teacher Tara Brach says that humans have a ‘negativity bias’, a tendency to see the negative in what is happening around us, based on our evolutionary need to see dangers so we can stay safe. We tend to spend less time seeing the positive and enjoying that.
There are so many positive, wonderful, life-giving things happening right now along with the challenges. Some are inside of us and some are outside. We have choice about how to view experiences. But it often beneficial to shift our perception which is exactly what a miracle is!
Let’s join together in making lemonade out of lemons, seeing the rainbow after the rain and finding the gifts in struggles and heartaches. I’m not suggesting that we deny the difficulties but rather that we dig deep within ourselves to find our strength, faith and resilience to persevere and see miracles emerging.
Blessings, Mary

Dear ones, beloved of my heart,
Indeed much is in transition right now. Your partners and friends in the Unseen Realm are very aware of this and we know how challenging it can be for humans who are living in the physical world. There is much you cannot see but the Spirit Beings can. We assure you that all is held in great love and tender care.
It is so important that you stay out of fear or at least limit the amount of time you spend there as best you can. Breathe into the quiet space inside of you where calm, peace and faith dwell. In this silence, you will receive all the wisdom, guidance and strength you need to get through any challenge or difficulty.
You are not alone! Each moment you are held in love by the angels, ascended ones, nature spirits and many others who are unseen but very present.
Never underestimate your power to influence what is happening within you and around you. Love has power that is very difficult for you to imagine! Each loving thing you do or say and every moment you spend in loving presence affects the whole in beautiful and transforming ways.
No one person has to ‘do it all’. All you need to do is quietly think love, be love and spread love. Your love joins with the love from other people and all beings everywhere, always. The love expands and becomes a magnificent light. When light is shining, darkness simply disappears.
Dear ones, trust the flow of life for it is being guided with love by the Unseen. Rest against the heart of the Great Mother when you are weary or discouraged or afraid. You are loved beyond measure at all times. You are filled with and surrounded by so much love. Only love, always love, love overflowing. I am Gaia, your Earth Mother, your friend.
