We lived in the house with this Tree until I w...

If you've read my book you know that I used to work at Starbucks. The manager was a nice lady named Linda, who told me we were allowed to “Surprise and Delight” customers occasionally.

This meant surprising customers by giving them their drink free, or treating them to a free pastry.

Today’s word has the power to make you feel more centered just by reading it once.

I think that's because our spirit is always calling us back to a state of balance within our own being. It's our natural state!

In the final chapter of my book The Guardian Gateway, I share this short meditation:

Go deep within your own heart and connect to the presence of your Greater Self there. Go deeper and deeper, until you become aware of the presence of a golden spark-like light.
