“Mary Magdalene and the Lost Legacy of Love”
Because of the discovery of the Nag Hammadi and Dead Sea scrolls, an ancient book found in the British Library and Scrolls found in remote Himalayan monasteries we now have a very different story of Jesus and Mary Magdalene than the orthodox narrative from the Roman Church. My research shows that Jesus and Mary were husband and wife and taught and healed together and had at least one child. The Roman Church has done everything it could to suppress this story, but it has been encoded in many myths and fairy tales to keep the information safe from the inquisition. One of those tales is The Little Mermaid. It is time now to bring the Holy Bride out of exile.

“Choose to Thrive in 2025”
To thrive is “to grow vigorously.” The opposite of thrive is “failure to thrive,” which is often the predecessor to death. It’s only when we fully embrace change that we can thrive.
What comes to mind when you hear the word thrive? It’s a really positive word, isn’t it? (That is, unless it has to do with weeds…). If someone or something is thriving, that means it is doing well, right? Full of life! To thrive is to grow vigorously. Plants can thrive, businesses can thrive, people can thrive; and when they are thriving, great things are happening. But not everything goes so perfectly all the time. And as positive as thriving is, failure to thrive is really scary.

“Love Unbound: Stepping Into New Realms of Spiritual Freedom”
As we navigate the complexities of this shifting world, we are presented with a profound opportunity to experience and realize higher dimensions of love, peace, and well-being. It can be hard to imagine a metamorphosis while we’re living in the cold, dark of winter, but the opportunity for transformation is here. The journey invites us to begin by bringing ourselves back into balance so that we may come into harmony personally and radiate it into the collective consciousness.

“Signposts”
When you are lost and do not know the way, nothing is as reassuring as a timely and well-placed signpost. Imagine you’re rolling down the highway in an unfamiliar area following instructions from a GPS, and suddenly you come to a place where the sign says, “Road Closed Ahead – Detour”.
When we are lost and do not know the way, nothing is as reassuring as a timely and well-placed signpost, pointing the way.
And, in fact, we do not care how beautiful or how flashy these signs are; we just want them to be readable and findable and accurate, because we are going to follow them and do what they tell us to do.
