Love Message: When you are having fun, you are in alignment with your inner source and there can be nothing better for you than this.
~ Fun ~
It’s a beautiful sunny day here… I think I’ll go play in the dirt!
What will you do for fun today?
In Joy, Beth
“Everything exists for joy. There is not one other reason for life than joy. We’ve got nothing to prove to anyone, because nobody other than All-That-Is is watching. In other words, we’re not trying to get brownie points from some other galaxy. We’re not trying to get someplace else; we’re not trying to get it done, because there is no ending—we cannot get it done. Everything exists for the purpose of joy in the moment.”
Divine Message: Even very young children can begin to understand lessons of a spiritual nature.
This is the first half of a story about assisting my children to be spiritually in-tune occupants of our loving planet.
Early yesterday morning, I turned my computer on and read the headlines, “Osama Bin Laden Is Dead.” It came as a surprise to me, and I chose to not read the articles or watch the many, many news videos about it. Then mid-morning, I received this channeled letter from my Earth Angel. It read:
“I’m sure you know that Osama Bin Laden has been killed by our Navy Seals. Many citizens of the US and many around the world are celebrating his death. Actually as I watch the news today I see that many are celebrating the death as vengeance satisfied. Many are celebrating his murder as just reward for the sins of Al Queda. We spiritually led souls are not joining this celebration. I feel deep sadness at the celebration of vengeance as a viable means to an end. It is tragic that the earth and its spiritual inhabitants must ‘feel’ what the others are doing once again. There will be costly and tragic consequences to this death. Al Queda will retaliate and more innocents will die. The cycle of hate, and vengeance will perpetuate itself.
And many Americans are celebrating this event under the guise of patriotism and thousands are gathering and singing and waving the American flag. Tears fill my eyes as I view this. Mother Earth is quaking at the negative shift in energy. She will continue to react from her own pain. Many many souls will suffer. We who are aware and awake must stand in the gap and pray and meditate for further awakening of the souls who are engaging in this negative flow. We must keep ourselves zipped up and be prepared to hear the rantings and prideful expressions of those who celebrate this act. You will be hearing it as you travel your daily routine and I’m certain the boys will be exposed to it in school. Be prepared with an alternative viewpoint on these recent events. Explain what will be the result of celebrating vengeance.
Ok, enough of this for now. Stay zipped and the pain you feel will be less. First though let out the tears you feel and then move on. The last few days of this will go down as a dark time when the retaliation from those who hate will now increase.
Increase awareness…stay strong…”
This message resonated deeply within my soul and I knew why I chose to not expose myself to today’s toxic news energies. But what about my children’s elementary school? Would those responsible for educating my boys be joining in this celebration of revenge? I hoped not, and yet I knew that these channeled messages were typically spot-on. So I prepared myself for what I would say to them after school…
In Peaceful Harmony with Mother Earth, Beth
“Since you have control over what thoughts you offer, what could be more just than the powerful Law of Attraction responding equally to everyone who offers a vibration? Once you gain control over the thoughts you think, your sense of injustice will subside and will be replaced with the exuberance for life and the zest to create that you were born with. Let everything in the Universe be an example to you of the way the Laws of the Universe work.”
Divine Message: One positive aspect of our lives is that we can learn to take responsibility for our actions at a very early age.
~ Community ~
This is a story of learning to take responsibility for one’s actions at the early age of 6…
Before bedtime, my oldest son reads independently and I read to my first grader while we lie together in his bed. This is a special time that we spend together daily where we giggle and snuggle in our cozy spot. Both my boys understand that the bedroom is a sacred place of quietness, peace and calm. And each one of them enjoys their own space very much.
~ Sacred Kid Space ~
Due to his frustrated feelings lately, my 6 year old had been treating me roughly during our peaceful reading time. Several nights ago he suddenly became excited and yelled loudly in my left ear. It was so forceful that I dismissed myself temporarily in order to recoup and while I was out of his room, I devised a plan very similar to one using dimes that my Earth Angel recently taught me.
~ An All Time Favorite ~
I got a pen and paper and began writing, formulating a contract of sorts between me and my child. The writing was large print so that he could read it for himself and be reminded of the agreement any time he noticed it hanging on his cork board in his sacred space. Then I re-entered his room and asked him to sit up so that I could first read the document to him and then he could read it out loud to me, demonstrating that he understood before signing. His eyes got pretty big and he sat up, wondering what on earth is going on, but he approached the situation very calmly and with respect. This is what it said:
“The next time
I scream in my
mom’s ear or do
anything else rough and
mean to her,
I will lose book reading
at night with my mom
for 3 days.
Signed…
Date…”
We both read it and he signed, including his full name + nick name, Beaver, spelled “Bvvr.” I almost laughed out loud when I saw that… His attitude shifted and he became very soft and gentle with me that night and each night since. The “contract” is still on his wall and I remind him about it at night before we begin our nightly ritual. Is he learning a little responsibility? I certainly hope so!
Do you have any ideas on this topic? If so then please leave a comment below…
In Loving Bliss, Beth
“Overwhelment is about you not being up to speed with what you told the Universe that you want. The Universe is yielding to you. You’re just not ready to receive it right now.”
Message from Spirit: Each individual, no matter how small, is able to choose either alignment or misalignment. As spiritually aware parents, we can help our children to remember how it feels to be in flow with universal energy.
~ Positive Energy ~
This is a story of assisting a young child in choosing the path of non-resistance.
My youngest son has been feeling very angry and frustrated since the onset of divorce last fall. Not only do I feel his misalignment at home, but his teacher and classmates feel it as well. He has been using his body to act out in a negative pattern, hitting, kicking, making loud noises and mistreating the belongings of other people. Recently, he began refusing to talk to me about his actions and his feelings, shutting me out with defiance.
~ Clash of Will ~
My Earth Angel felt this resistance and called me one day, offering a new tactic to use when he hits this self-made brick wall. She suggested telling him that until he agrees to talk, he will not have it, be it or do it, whatever it is that is his favorite activity in the moment. And, of course, to back this up with consistent consequences. She also had the idea to use dimes and to begin placing them on a piece of paper so that he could count how much money or points he was losing, as the number of dimes increased, the amount of repercussion also increased. This concrete formula for teaching responsibility struck me as not only sound, but fool proof as well.
The next day I had the opportunity to say the “You will not have it, be it or do it” technique when he refused to discuss his behavior in school. These words acted like an energetic slap into alignment for my son because he immediately changed his tune and talked about the incident and his feelings. It was a productive development in what was becoming a negative pattern of self defeating actions for my son and since this first time I have had to use this same catch phrase only one more time this week… PROGRESS!!!
And this is another step in healing for both myself and my son.
In Gratitude, Beth
“I’ll Not Ask Others to Become Different for Me… Let your Vibrational Escrow percolate, and you do your best to give it your undivided attention so that you become a Vibrational Match to it. And then, when the Law of Attraction brings all of it together and brings you, because you’re a match, together with it – then there aren’t any bugs to work out. Don’t ask the person, or people, that helped you to define what you want to become what you want so that you can have what you want. (Oh, that was so good.) Instead, let them be the Step One part of it (the asking part). Use your willpower and your decision to focus upon what you want – and then the Universe will bring you what you want.”
Message of Love: Continue to have faith that everything is working out for your greatest good.
~ YES ~
The email from my soon to be ex-husband was quite tricky. When I read the first sentence, I felt so thankful and excited, but then I almost lost sight of my enthusiasm because the second sentence was completely fear based with attempts to control and manipulate. The disappointment was so heavy that I further realized the price I continue to pay for marrying for money. Yes, I recently came face to face with this realization. I may have been smitten with his charm for the first few months or maybe even a year, but after that who am I kidding? The man consistently loses his wallet, keys, etc. He has even locked himself out of our old Tercel while the motor was running! What sort of a relationship was I getting myself into? In hindsight, I can clearly see the false security of that big paycheck that continued to lure me until this past year when things escalated to the point that I knew I would either become deathly ill or I would need to change my life dramatically.
So here I Am.
After about 30 minutes of mental torture, during which time I forgave myself, I resolved to focus on the first sentence of the email, which read, “Selling the house in the near future will not be a good idea.”
~ Celebrate ~
And this is exactly what I want, to continue living with my boys in our home. Once I redirect my focus, I feel the support and security of my angels and spirit guides. Things really are working out for the best. Love it!
Blessings of Abundance, Beth

Divine Inspiration: One key to remember during the divorce process is relax and allow the unfolding of your new life.
Something new has been happening to me lately. As I type the words of the blog title, I repeatedly and accidentally start to type the word “Divine” for “Divorce,” so that it would read, “My Journey Through Divine…” Whenever this happens I am reminded that the speed at which I am healing now is quite rapid. The lessons are manifesting daily and in numbers, so that I am able to make choices which support my divine life path. It is delightful and at times I can hardly remember the depths of darkness which I have traveled through to get to this point… and then a new lesson appears and off I go again.
~ Transformation ~
All of my inner focus has helped me beyond measure during my divorce, but I have to admit that at times I wish I was somewhere else in my life, somewhere at least a year down the road where I am legally free from the marriage. And, while this is honest, it is not in alignment with Source.
My course is set for the greatest good and it is my job to enjoy each present moment.
In Continued Trust and Allowing, Beth
“An activated thought means a thought that when I think it, I have a feeling response. If you’re not having a feeling response to something, a feeling that feels good or a feeling that feels bad — the thought is not that powerful, and it is probably not a big player in your vibrational mix.”
Love Message: Pay attention to signs from your divine guides.
~ Sailing ~
In the past week, I’ve listened to so many complaints and resistive thinking from my boys. My youngest told me, “I have something to say and you are not going to like it… I think it is much better if I go live with Dad.”
“Oh, why is that?” I asked, remembering that he is working through the divorce process, too, and not to take what he says personally.
“Well, because my has a Wii and you don’t,” he begins, looking at me to make sure that it is ok for him to continue. “Plus, we get to play the Wii for a whole hour and you never let us do that. We pretty much play all the time at Dad’s house and you are always busy…”
~ Kids At Play ~
He went on and on about his time on the weekends with his dad versus the boring and difficult time he has with me during the school week. I reassured him that his feelings are normal and re-explained the weekday routines, saying that when we get a free day we will play all day long. My mind wanted me to become angry at the current state of perceived unfairness, however, I let it go and we enjoyed the remaining time before bed by playing a fun card game and reading several new library books.
And I continue to remind myself that this time in my life is temporary… and All is well…
Divine Guidance: As with everything, you have a choice. You can either focus on what causes you emotional pain or you can notice the littlest of things that bring joy to your heart. When you are in alignment, you feel good, simple as that.
~ Beautiful Decoration ~
I found better-feeling emotions about the “to move or not to move” dilemma this past weekend. My friend and I went around the neighborhood for a tour of homes currently on the market, and we started on the top of the Northwest Hills where some of the homes could be on “The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.” We “Oooh’d” and “Ahhh’d” over the beautiful decorations, artwork and extravagant interior designs, selecting our favorite wall colors, flooring and lighting fixtures. Many of the homes had expansive views to the west, including the Cascade Mountains.
~ Portland, Oregon ~
It was all very fun and exciting, however, at some point my wicked brain tried to torture me a bit, pointing out that my house is not furnished, and not only that, but that I have never in my adult life owned new furniture. The little bit that was new is gone with the soon to be ex-husband, and now my house sits, mostly empty, and undecorated, with $10 bedside tables from Target, and so on, in my typical blah blah blah mental pattern…
As I felt my joyful energy waning with the ugly tugs of my ego, attempting to drag me down into the self-pity abyss, we drove past a house on a hill and it caught my eye. It had an open house sign out front, and low and behold, it was the same house I fell in love with 3 years ago when we were house hunting. A wave of enthusiasm struck me. We went inside and my passion peaked as we walked from room to room, taking in the gorgeous yard views from all over.
Finally we left my favorite house and I felt wonderful, knowing that my emotions were not specifically about the house, rather, my angels were reminding me that no matter where I end up living that I will be joyful and my children will share in the experience… and that is all that matters.
In Excited Anticipation, Beth
“The most important thing that you can teach your children is that Well-being abounds. And that Well-being is naturally flowing to them. And that if they will relax and reach for thoughts that feel good, and do their best to appreciate, then they will be less likely to keep the Well-being away, and more likely to allow it to flow into their experience. Teach them the art of allowing.”
Message of Love: Set your intention for love and we will Always assist You.

My body is working through some old energies lately, and on Sunday my left knee hurt a little bit plus in the evening I developed another acne on my chin.
“What’s up now?” I thought, not wanting another spike in toxic energy like I had the week before. In the morning I felt great, but the after I picked up the boys I began feeling like my energy was off.
I knew something had triggered these changes in my body, but I didn’t fully understand so I referred to Louise Hay’s book again, Heal Your Body A-Z, and looked up knee.
“Represents pride and ego,” it read.
~ Universal Love ~
“Well, that makes sense,” I thought, remembering the Portland to Coast training walk I had gone on the day before. At some point on the walk I realized that I was in the lead, walking and talking with a friend who runs 19 miles on the weekends to train for marathons. My body was exerting quite a lot of effort, so I consciously made the choice to drop back and then I felt better. Even though I did not set out to compete on this training walk, there was some old energy from the ego that caused me to go for the lead, so I got it why the muscles of my knee were overworked and painful.
And what about the acne? I figured that one out, too, and I will share it with you tomorrow.
Blissfully Smiling, Beth
“When you focus upon lack in an attitude of complaining, you establish a vibrational point of attraction that then gives you access only to more thoughts of complaint. Your deliberate effort to tell a new story will establish a new pattern of thought, providing you with a new point of attraction from your present, about your past, and into your future. The simple effort of looking for positive aspects will set a new vibrational tone that will begin the immediate attraction of thoughts, people, circumstances, and things that are pleasing to you.”
Message of Love: Your body does not lie when it complains to you.
~ Intuition ~
Fear physically manifests in the body in many ways. Louise Hay has an entire book, Heal Your Body A-Z, on this subject, the spiritual causes of fear and thought patterns for healing.
~ Recommended book by Louise Hay ~
These thought patterns are positive affirmations which are used to replace the false belief systems with life affirming messages. Once you become in tune with your body, that is, conscious of any pains that you are feeling on a daily basis, then you can use this information for healing. With the healing thought pattern in place, the pain usually either diminishes considerably or vanishes completely within moments or hours.
~ Healing ~
Before my recent adventure into emotional toxins this past week, my body gave me two signals that I was beginning to delve into fear while leaving my intuition. Has this ever happened to you?
In Light, Beth
“We are all Vibrational Beings. You’re like a receiving mechanism that when you set your tuner to the station, you’re going to hear what’s playing. Whatever you are focused upon is the way you set your tuner, and when you focus there for as little as 17 seconds, you activate that vibration within you. Once you activate a vibration within you, Law of Attraction begins responding to that vibration, and you’re off and running — whether it’s something wanted or unwanted.”
