As the New Year approaches; traditionally, many take inventory of their life.  Concerns about physical appearance are noted; thoughts of what goals were and were not achieved come and go; and family filled moments are a welcomed distraction in the midst of routine.  Then the moment passes and the clock strikes midnight, the New Year has arrived and much has remained the same.  Increasingly, people are realizing that looking outward and around them for satisfaction only results in short-term, fleeting happiness that ultimately leaves a void.  Why is this?  Most will not even stop to ask the question, much less try and find an answer.  Was their inner desire to even work on the spirit?  They continue in the same path year after year, only to remain unchanged.  Stagnate, inward and outward. 

This newsletter focuses on the balance between spiritual and natural. This notion is not limited to church on Sunday and how you live every other day. This is a concept that touches every corner of living, all the time. The equilibrium between spiritual and natural is required in every matter, to name a few: financial and professional; health (preventative and reactive); and parenting. Most people are socialized to act and believe as natural beings having spiritual experiences from time-to-time. However, true power and awareness of self begins with realizing that you are a spiritual being having a natural (human) experience. With this consciousness, the world looks completely different and you are equipped in an empowered way to engage in life’s journey.  Fellow spiritual beings, my prayer is that in these readings you will take away something to expand your life by edifying the soul.

Peace, Blessings and Balance
