The Spark (Remembering)
Let me remind you that you are truly only to remember what you already know.
The wisdom is & was always within you. Those sparks of inspiration, insight or
"I've been here before" or "Somehow I already knew that" are not
coincidences. You really already knew! Inspiration means: to be in spirit. So
when you're inspired, you're simply returning or remember who you are!
What happens when you get inspiration? What happens when the spark
happens? The moment your whole life changes or you know it's time for a
major shift. Most of the time, I know this is me, you'll go in search of spiritual
books to reconnect or remind yourself of that feeling of being inspired. Being
inspired feels good, you feel a zing, a buzz, a "HOORAY for life!" & you feel it

all in your bones. Just talking about it gets me all fired up because I love when
people are inspired. I love when you're in spirit. It's inspiring!
Before you move on to finding a book that calls you, I want you to sit with your
inspiration for a while. I want you to do some swimming around and figure out
what it was that sparked this. What did you do (or not do) that surged this
buzzing through your cells? What did you hear? See? Taste? Smell?
Experience? Take some time to really melt into whatever it was that brought on
this inspiration.
Remembering who you are is a delightful experience because everyday will be
like an AHA moment. & that Mike Greenberg quote, "Life is a series of

thousands of tiny miracles" will ring loud & true for you. You'll bare witness to
miracles like rain falling from the sky.
When I say "remember who you are" what do you think of? What do you feel?
What does that mean to you?
You, my divine lovely one, are a spiritual being living out a human experience.
Now, this does not mean you are to renounce being human to only carry out a
spiritual existence. It's actually impossible because you are in fact part human
being! Plus, why would you want to skip out on such a fantabulous ride?

You may be thinking "trust me, I know what it's like to be human" & I totally
hear you! But how is your experience thus far? What flavors of life have you
tasted? What fears have you busted through? What limitations have you
dissolved? How courageous have you been? Are you free? I pose these
questions because while it is true being human comes with actual limitations
you mostly limit yourself with your mind. You create limitations & believe in
them wholeheartedly & don't try to go past them.
Some people live their whole lives in their own limitations.
Being a spiritual being & practicing spirituality is only a piece of the pie. The
more you dive into spirituality, the more your humanness will be challenged

because everything you've programmed in your mind will be questioned.
Spirituality means choosing faith over & over again. Choosing faith over fear.
Through spirituality you will constantly be reminded that you are the only one
who is stopping you. You will be reminded how amazing you really are
because you yourself are a miracle. A living, breathing, singing, dancing,
crying miracle!
So when that spark happens, when you feel jolted, inspired, all jazzed up or
resting in awe, in complete knowing of something, in awareness, you're going
to want to discover more of that feeling. & when you open your eyes, you'll

Beginning the Journey
Spiritual books are a fabulous place to start because there are so many and
they've all come from exactly where you are in the moment. From inspiration,
great insight & a jolt. So amazing people write books to share their insight with
the world & the book makes it all the way to you.
This is the very start of your journey. I remember when I first became divinely
inspired, I had just moved from California to New York City in search of myself.
I thought "NYC is where you go to find yourself!" Well, for the first few months
I'd never felt so lost but one day as I walked the business streets of Manhattan, I
felt an incredible calm wash over me. It was as if everyone was going in slow
motion, I couldn't hear anything & it was just me treading through the streets,
