A Voice in the Night _________ Ever since he was a little boy Santino felt the presence of his paternal grandmother with him.  She had passed many years before he was born, but there was always a perpetual guiding voice that led Santino through even the darkest of times.  On this night, he was begging for her guidance, but his pleas were met with silence.  Not the kind of silence that one fails to hear when a word is spoken but the silence of the Divine; that little voice that guided Santino was nonexistent on this night—this night when he […]

A shift is occurring.  Many people are feeling it.  Time feels like it is speeding up and depending on a person’s perspective either chaos is unfolding or divine opportunity is upon us.  Everything in this life is perspective and as we move into 2019 it is becoming increasingly clear that how we look at life undoubtably becomes a reality in our physical existence.  In short, what we think we become.  See the grace in all situations and grace shall be yours; see the chaos in the world and chaos will be yours.

Four years ago my father passed away.  Even though my father was 80 years old, it happened very suddenly.  It was Halloween and some trick or treaters decided to deposit some of the chocolate they had collected on the ground near my parent’s home and my father became worried that his dog might eat some of the chocolate and die.  Instead, something far more ominous happened, it was my father who would perish from that fateful choice.  My father, 80 years old and not the least bit agile, decided he was just the person to pick up the candy off

As Thanksgiving approaches and another year winds to a close, I find myself incredibly contemplative, pondering all that I have been given.  It is so easy to get wrapped up in what is “wrong” with our lives that oftentimes we fail to celebrate what is incredibly “right” with our lives.  For me, there are so many things that have aligned perfectly and I understand that all of these things that are bringing me so much love and joy are also former intentions of mine that have manifested into my material world. Seven years ago, I vowed to change the my
