    The Intuition Secret That Led Alysa Liu to Gold

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About The Intuition Secret That Led Alysa Liu to Gold…

    Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads—pulled between what the world expects of you and a quieter, more mysterious voice calling you toward something different?

    That quiet voice is your intuition. And listening to it can feel like a radical act. But that act of listening… it just might lead you to a miracle.

    Let me tell you the story of someone who did just that.

    The Olympian Who Walked Away

    Alysa Liu was a skating prodigy. At just 13, she became the youngest U.S. Women’s National Champion in figure skating history. By 16, she’d competed in the Olympics and World Championships. Everyone assumed she was on the fast track to becoming one of the sport’s biggest stars.

    And then… she retired. At 16.

    No injury. No dramatic fallout. Just a deep, quiet knowing that it was time to step away. While the world scratched its head in confusion, Alysa trusted the whisper that said: Not right now.

    She chose to live a little more off the ice—experience life, feel joy, explore beyond the arena that had defined her for so long. And then, something remarkable happened…

    Two years later, while skiing for the first time in her life, Alysa felt a sudden, powerful inner nudge: Maybe it’s time to skate again. So, she did. Just for fun.

    That fun turned into training. The training turned into competing. And within a year, Alysa had won the gold medal at the World Figure Skating Championships at age 19.

    Talk about full-circle!

    3 Shifts That Will Help You Trust Your Intuition Too

    Whether you’re 16 or 60, there are powerful lessons in Alysa’s story. Here are three shifts to help you start trusting your inner voice—and allowing it to lead you to your own miracles:

    1. Intuition Feels Like Expansion (Even If It’s Hard)
    Your intuition isn’t loud. It won’t shout over your to-do list or the opinions of others. But when you pause and listen, it often speaks through feeling.

    The key question is: Does this choice feel expansive or contractive?

    Even if your intuition is guiding you to make a tough decision—like stepping away from something familiar—it will usually come with a sense of inner expansion, relief, or calm clarity.

    Your soul speaks through expansion. Your ego speaks through fear. Can you tell which one is leading?

    2. Your Intuition May Go Against the Grain
    Sometimes your inner guidance leads you in a direction that doesn’t make sense to anyone else. People might question you, or worry about you, or even doubt your judgment.

    But if you know, deep in your being, that it’s right for you… trust that knowing.

    I remember a time in my own life when I said no to a major contract in Asia that looked incredible on paper. Everyone around me thought I was making a huge mistake.

    But something in me said, Not this.

    Soon after, the idea for Your Year of Miracles came through—and I knew I’d made the right choice.

    3. Following Your Intuition Leads to Miracles
    When Alysa returned to skating, it wasn’t because she wanted to prove anything. She didn’t need to make a statement. She came back because something in her felt ready.

    That readiness, that joy, that alignment—it led her to gold. And it all started with a whisper on a ski slope.

    We don’t always know where our intuition will take us. But if we follow it, one step at a time, we often find ourselves right where we were meant to be… sometimes with miracles in hand.

    A Gentle Nudge for You

    Is there something your intuition has been quietly telling you?

    Maybe it’s time to pause. To rest. To begin again. Or to say yes to something that feels wild but right.

    Whatever it is, I invite you to listen. To trust. To follow—even just a little.

    Because your joy, your timing, and your path are not meant to look like anyone else’s.

    As the poet Rumi said,
    “There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen.”

    Please share below how your intuition has guided you. I can’t wait to read your stories!

  • Big Miracles from Small Acts of Kindness

    Big Miracles from Small Acts of Kindness

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About Big Miracles from Small Acts of Kindness…

    I want to share a story with you that I recently read about a young woman named Hannah who was racing against the clock to get some last hours with her mother before she passed away.

    Hannah’s mom, Kathleen, was in critical condition after she got undiagnosed pneumonia that progressed into septic shock. Kathleen’s doctors had notified her family that she didn’t have much time left to live, so Hannah rushed to book a flight to a small airport in North Dakota where her mother lived.

    But because of the limited flights to the small airport, the first flight she could get was on the following day, and each hour she had to wait was an hour she wouldn’t get to spend with her mom. 

    Once she was on the flight the next day, the plane’s takeoff was delayed due to technical issues. Hannah started panicking, because she had just a half-hour layover before her connecting flight in Minneapolis, and knew she wouldn’t be able to make it. 

    Hannah shared her situation with one of the flight attendants, hoping that there was some sort of solution, only to find out that her connecting flight had already been rebooked for the next morning.

    Hannah broke down in tears, and felt so anxious thinking of her mother being alone through this. Well, Hannah’s story moved the flight attendant to tears as well, and she decided to go speak directly to the pilot to see what could be done.

    The pilot was also moved by Hannah’s story, and so he called the dispatchers of the connecting flight in Minneapolis to see if they could possibly hold the flight, and… they said yes!

    The whole crew was working together to get Hannah on her next flight so that she could have as many remaining hours with her mom as were possible. One person on the flight gave Hannah their seat at the front of the plane so that she could exit faster. Someone else got out airport maps to help Hannah find the fastest route to the gate. And others gave her caring smiles or words of encouragement. 

    When the plane landed, Hannah was escorted off first, and ran through the airport with tears streaming down her face. She was greeted at her new flight by a welcoming crew who got her to the airport in North Dakota safely.

    Hannah was then able to spend the remaining hours of her mom’s life with her. Her mom passed away the next day.

    Hannah said that each act of kindness from each person added up to give her one of the most important moments in her life – which was to be there with her mom.

    I love this story, because it’s such an expression of how we’re all part of a greater web of miracles together.

    So often, it’s easy to look around at the world today and think – what can I possibly do to help the state of things? 

    The answer is to listen to your heart. When you lead your life with an open heart, which is one of the foundations for living in the Miracle Zone, then the opportunities to be a miracle for someone else will knock on your heart. 

    We are all interconnected and the Universe speaks to us through our hearts and intuition. When you feel a nudge to do some sort of small act of kindness, you can trust that you’re being invited to be a miracle for someone else in a way you might not ever really know. It could be as simple as:

    • Opening the door for someone
    • Complimenting the person at the cash register
    • Calling a relative out of the blue

    It might seem small or insignificant to you, but you never know what part your small act of kindness plays in someone else’s miracle story. 

    And as you give, you receive, and you can also trust that the miracles energy you give comes back to you tenfold. And you will simply feel amazing from listening to what’s calling your heart and acting on it. 

    This week, I invite you to simply listen to your heart.

    Notice when you feel a nudge to do something kind for someone else. And then, if you’re able to – do the thing, and notice how you feel afterward. You’ll probably feel a wave of miracles energy filling up your heart and brightening your day. 

    I’d love to hear your thoughts on this – leave a comment and share what miracles you’ve experienced through giving or receiving small acts of kindness.

    And I’ll leave you with a quote from Desmond Tutu:

    “Do your little bit of good where you are. It’s those little bits of good together that overwhelm the world.”

    Have a beautiful week!

    Please share with us below about the miracles you’ve experiences through giving and receiving acts of kindness.

  • Choose Where You Put Your Energy and Attention

    Choose Where You Put Your Energy and Attention

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About Choosing Where You Put Your Energy And Attention…

    In Your Year of Miracles program, we have the Five Foundations for Living in the Miracle Zone. Especially in these unique and challenging times, we lean on these Foundations every single day!

    Today, we’re going to talk about the fourth of these Five Foundations, which is: Choosing Where You Put Your Energy and Attention.

    We each have the ability to consciously direct our thoughts, words, feelings, and actions towards what we want more of and what we want to expand in our life. This is so important because whatever you put your attention on will grow stronger in your life.

    Rather than focusing on whatever isn’t working in your life, you can put your attention on whatever supports you in living a more miraculous life.

    This can be a challenge since we live in an externally oriented world where it’s easy to get pulled towards bright shiny objects, noisy circumstances, or the stress of the day. As the external world pulls on your energy, it may seem hard to consciously choose where to focus your attention.

    One way to consciously choose where you focus your attention is to collect your energy into your core and continually bring it back there throughout your day.

    When you practice gathering your energy back onto yourself, you strengthen your ability to know and remember that you have the power to choose. Then, you can make decisions from a place of groundedness that you can’t access when your energy is dispersed.

    So, practice putting your attention on your core, and that sense of self will magnify. You’ll be able to remember who you are regardless of what’s going on around you. Then, you’ll find that with every choice you make, things will fall into place in service of your highest good.

    This is a great way to keep yourself grounded throughout the day and remember that you have the power to choose where you put your thoughts, words, feelings, and actions. That powerful and blessed attention of yours will, in great part, determine the outcomes that you experience in your life. So we recommend that you put your attention on whatever will help you live more in the Miracle Zone!

  • Live From the Soul

    Live From the Soul

    Today’s Miracle Moment is about Living from the Soul…

    In Your Year of Miracles program, we teach that there are Five Foundations for Living in the Miracle Zone. When you live in the Miracle Zone, you’re in the “flow,” and you experience wonderful synchronicities and miracles in your life. Today we’re talking about the second foundation, which is… Live from the Soul. Living from the soul means living aligned with your highest truth and honoring your inner guidance. When you live from the soul, you look inside yourself instead of outside yourself for the answers.

    The bottom line is—the soul knows.

    The soul is made of the entire cosmos packed into the core of our body. We call it the Soulful Self or the Essential Self, and it’s that place of deep, true inner knowing.

    It’s the part of you that’s always known, even when the mind is questioning and creating stories. What’s happening in the still waters beneath the mind is that the Soulful Self is offering up this knowing. All we have to do is train the mind to listen to this deep core truth.

    In all my (Sue’s) travels around the world teaching hundreds of thousands of people, I’ve never heard anyone say, “I had this inner knowing and I went with it, and boy, do I regret it.” What I have heard hundreds of times is, “I had a deep inner knowing and I didn’t act on it, and boy, do I regret it!”

    Clearly, the smart thing to do with your mind is to teach it to listen to this deep inner knowing. Your mind and soul need to become so bonded that they could complete each other’s sentences–they are so bonded that you’re operating as the soul. We start by just listening to this deep knowing that we’ve been trained to ignore and override.

    Think of the things that have worked out the best for you. Was it because you followed something that you had a knowing about? It may not have even made sense, but you knew that was the path to take.

    Here’s an exercise to help you build that muscle of living from your soul:

    Right now, disempower yourself by throwing your energy off of yourself and directing it onto a person who pushes your buttons or to something else that distracts you. Or you can simply practice throwing (directing) your energy onto the computer screen as if you’re disempowering yourself. Discredit yourself as if your opinion doesn’t matter. Notice how that feels in your body—probably not good. Now just claim your energy back, pulling all of your energy back onto yourself.

    We have a tendency to splat and disperse our energy and then live from that place of dispersed energy. Notice how you feel in your body when you call that energy back for yourself. It feels different—it feels robust, it feels abundant.

    Here’s what to remember: When you make a decision that you’re unsure about, you get to make another decision. And, if you go down that road and don’t like that decision, you can make another one.

    You keep doing this until you train your mind to follow your Soulful Self that always steers you in the right direction.

    This practice will help you to live from the soul (and in the Miracle Zone) more and more.

    Click here for the first Foundation: Trust in the Universe.

    Over the next week, practice this and let us know how it’s going for you. Please share your experiences in the comments below—we’d love to hear from you.

  • Keep the Faith That Miracles Are Coming

    Keep the Faith That Miracles Are Coming

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About How to Keep the Faith That Miracles Are Coming…

    Are there some miracles you’ve been wishing for for a long time? Or have you found yourself giving up some hope that miracles are coming? Well here’s a story about how you should always keep the faith that miracles are on the way. 

    Two days after Christmas last year, two fishermen in Northern Indiana were out scouting for fishing holes. They were about to pack up and head home, when they saw something shiny in the distance underneath an interstate bridge. Their curiosity got them, and they walked toward the shiny object and slowly figured out what they were seeing was a mangled truck. They got closer to the truck and one of the men went right up to the driver’s side door and pulled the airbag back and found a man right there in the seat! They assumed that he must be dead, but the fisherman put his hand on the man’s shoulder, and the man swung around and woke up! 

    The man said that he had been stuck there since the previous Wednesday, which at that point, was 6 days before that. He hadn’t been able to reach his phone because of the way he was stuck in the mangled truck, so all he could do was yell and cry out for help, but no one heard him. 

    The weather during this time had gone down 29 degrees Fahrenheit, making his chances very rare of surviving. And he survived by only drinking rainwater. He told the fishermen who found him that he had nearly given up all hope, because no one was there, and all he could hear was the sound of the water. 

    Can you imagine those 6 days, which must have felt like 6 years – not knowing if you’d survive? The local police sergeant shared that, with how low the temperatures were dropping on that 6th night, he didn’t think the man would have made it if it weren’t for the two fishermen who discovered him right on time. How’s that for a Christmas miracle?

    Here are three things to remember from that story to help you keep the faith that miracles are coming.

    First, is that the Divine works through each of us and we’re all a part of one another’s miracle stories.

    You play a part in not only your miracles, but the miracles of everyone around you. You can participate wholeheartedly by listening to your nudges and following your intuition. Maybe you get a nudge to do something kind for someone you don’t know, or to call a distant family member out of the blue. Or maybe you feel a nudge to drive a different way to work or to go to a place you don’t usually go. By following your divine curiosity, you participate in the grand miracles unfoldment that you are an important part of, whether you know it or not. 

    Next is that Delays are Not Denials.

    Just because the miracle you’re intending hasn’t shown up yet, doesn’t mean that there isn’t divine timing for it to show up. Keep holding the vision of the miracle you’re intending, and knowing that it’s possible for you. You can also lean on the intention of “This or something better.” There may be something even better than the miracle you have in mind that’s in store for you – be open to it.  

    Finally, third is that every “Now moment” has the possibility for miracles.

    If you’ve spent a lot of years doing inner work and personal growth work, and you’ve experienced some great miracles, but some still feel out of reach, you might have lost the enthusiasm and the faith that you had at the beginning of your journey. You need to reinvigorate our faith in the miraculous. Notice the miracles, big or small, that you experience every day. And when you see someone else with a miracle, you can lean on a phrase that my friend and co-founder of Your Year of Miracles Debra Poneman taught us, which is, “And that’s for me!” Start seeing everything as evidence of the miracles that are coming for you. 

    To give you even more of a boost, let’s do something we do in our Your Year of Miracles calls for our members that I call supercharging…

    1. I invite you to bring to mind a miracle or miracle that you may have given up faith on. It can be any area of life. What area needs some extra supercharging?
    2. Now that you have it in mind, we call in all of the angels, archangels, ascended masters, and all of our divine support team to surround us with their pure miracles energy.
    3. We hold up the miracles that are in the mind of each person here who’s watching or listening to this. We imagine golden rays of love encircling you and your miracles. We see you living out your miracle and experiencing greater joy, peace, gratitude, happiness, and abundance.
    4. We supercharge your miracles with deep divine love and divine energy. We hold your miracles and your intentions with love in our hearts, and we see them manifested in perfect timing, or something better. And so it is.

    Every moment has the possibility for miracles. Keep the faith and see the miracles that are all around you right now. Let me know in the comments what resonated the most from the message for you and how it felt to receive that supercharging.

    I’ll leave you with this quote from Fannie Flagg:

    “Don’t give up before the miracle happens.”

    May you have a week full of curiosity, faith, and miracles – big and small. I send you love!

  • The Miracle of Giving Thanks

    The Miracle of Giving Thanks

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About The Miracle of Giving Thanks…

    In the US, Thanksgiving is coming up, and in Canada, people celebrated Thanksgiving last month. And all sorts of holidays around the world are happening this season. This is a great time where we’re in a collective vibrational frequency of gratitude and celebration.

    I love Thanksgiving because the collective consciousness is focused on Gratitude and Gratitude is one of the highest vibrations we can tune into. Giving thanks helps us become a vibrational match for miracles.

    As we get closer to the end of the year, it’s really powerful to be in gratitude, as this helps set us up for an even more miraculous year ahead.

    Even though Thanksgiving is supposed to be focused on giving thanks, that can be hard.  It’s a time for family gatherings and not everyone is excited to go to family gatherings – there can be unhealed stuff between family members, triggers, or that family members who has that rare gift of saying things that make everyone else uncomfortable. It’s like that quote by Ram Dass that says,

    “If you think you’re enlightened, spend a week with your family.” 

    Giving thanks is powerful because what you put your attention on grows stronger. When you put your attention on what you appreciate, you get more of that.  What you appreciate, appreciates. When your attention is on what you’re grateful for, you start noticing more and more of that. And, the people in your life naturally blossom when they’re seen in that light of gratitude and appreciation.

    On the other hand, when you put your attention on what you judge, you get more of that.  if you’re focusing on what drives you crazy about someone, that’s all you start to notice about them. 

    Giving thanks and appreciation for the people in your life is a gift for you and the people in your life because it shifts the energy between you to a higher vibration.

    Here’s a great way to really apply the principle of giving thanks during your Thanksgiving or holiday gathering with family and friends. It’s called the Appreciation Feast. 

    This can shift your energy and your whole family’s energy:  

    I have been doing this with my family at Thanksgiving for 20 years. On Thanksgiving, we feast on a lot of food, but it’s this feast that has made my recent Thanksgivings awesome.

    We go around the table and appreciate one thing about each person at the table. 

    The first year we did this, we started with my Mom. I said, “Mom, something I appreciate about you is how generous you are.” Then the next person said they appreciated how funny she was. By the end of the appreciations, she was in tears. Then we moved to the next person.

    To do this, you go around the entire table one person at a time until each person is appreciated by everyone. This is such a feast!

    Maybe you think – I don’t know if my family would ever want to do that. Well, you won’t know if you don’t try. And if you start things off by expressing your appreciation for one family member, soon, everyone else will want to chime in and get involved.

    And if you’re not able to get together in person, you can even do an Appreciation Feast over Zoom or video calls.

    If you want to capture this, remember to record it via video. I promise when those people are gone, you’re going to treasure that video!

    One little tip…the first year we did our appreciation feast before the meal, while the meal was getting cold. So, we suggest you do your appreciation feast after the meal and before dessert instead.

    This is a sure way to have a most heart-opening experience of Thanksgiving.

    So, you can start the Appreciation Feast in the comments – what or who are you thankful for in your life? Let’s all be in this miraculous energy of gratitude together. And I’ll leave you with this quote from Meister Eckhart:

    “If the only prayer you said was thank you, that would be enough.”

    I’m wishing you a beautiful holiday season and beyond, and sending you my love!

    Please share with us below who/what are you grateful for in your life…

  • You’re Never Too Far From Your Miracles

    You’re Never Too Far From Your Miracles

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About You’re Never Too Far From Your Miracles…

    And this is inspired by an amazingly courageous and adventurous cat named “Rayne Beau”. Yes, his name is pronounced “rainbow.”

    Rayne Beau is a 2-and-a-half-year-old siamese cat, and his owners, Suzanne and Benny, had taken him with them on a trip to visit Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. While they were there, Rayne Beau sadly went missing. 

    Benny spent hours looking for Rayne Beau in the forest, trying to lure him back with his favorite treats and toys, but Benny had no luck finding him. Finally, the couple had to leave without their beloved cat. They were heartbroken and felt like they were abandoning him. But they never lost hope in one day reuniting with Rayne Beau. 

    And then, two months later – 61 days, to be exact – Rayne Beau was found in Roseville, California, which was actually 190 miles away from his home with Suzanne and Benny. 

    It turns out that Rayne Beau had traveled 900 miles to get there – all the way from Wyoming to Roseville.He had been found in poor health, and was taken in for a couple of nights by the woman who found him and then she took him to a local SPCA. There, they were able to identify him through his microchip and reunite him with Suzanne and Benny.

    And here’s a wonderful photo of Suzanne and Rayne Beau together.

    Suzanne and Benny were ecstatic to have Rayne Beau back. Suzanne said, “I look at him every day and am so grateful and tell him, ‘Do you know how many weeks I had been praying to see that face again?’”

    I love that story. And let’s look at a few things Rayne Beau can teach us about how to live a life full of miracles, no matter how far you feel from them.  

    First, Rayne Beau shows us the power of following our internal GPS.

    There’s no way to know how Rayne Beau found his way back to California in his 900-mile trek, but somehow, his instinct was guiding him. No matter how far away you feel now from where you want to be, you have an inner GPS that can guide you to your miracles. Following your GPS requires you to deeply listen to and trust a deeper voice within than the mind. Usually our GPS won’t show us the entire map all at once – we’re given one step at time to lead us on our way. That keeps us in the mystery and in a state of openness and trust, which is fertile soil for miracles.

    Second, Rayne Beau relied on benevolent helpers – like the woman who found him when he was in poor health, or the Animal Shelter who took him in.

    We can lean on the support of unseen benevolent helpers in each moment. You can call in your guides, ask for help from the angels, or pray for support from specific spiritual figures that you resonate with, like Mother Mary, or Ganesha, or Quan Yin. Your unseen helpers can support you by giving you guidance, sending you signs, sending helpful people to you, or many other creative ways of lining up circumstances in just the way they’re needed to support your miracles. You’ve just got to ask!

    And finally, don’t give up even when you feel you’re so far from the miracles you want.

    Poor Rayne Beau must have been very hungry, scared, and tired by the time he made it to Roseville, California all the way from Wyoming. Sometimes when we’re at our lowest, we can feel that we’re the furthest from our miracles. But actually, Rayne Beau shows us that when we’re tired and weary, our miracles can be just right around the corner. 

    Be sure to watch the video where I walk you through a short Miracles Process to support you in finding your way back home to the miracles inside of you. 

    I hope you can feel a stronger connection with your inner compass from that exercise. You can go back and repeat that video process anytime to keep strengthening that channel.

    So, I’ll leave you with a quote from an African Proverb, “To get lost is to learn the way.” Leave a comment to share how Rayne Beau the cat inspires you to never give up on your miracles. I send you love!

  • Tapping Into the Universe’s Creative Solutions

    Tapping Into the Universe’s Creative Solutions

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About Tapping Into the Universe’s Creative Solutions…

    I recently heard a story of what an 86-year-old Japanese man named Mr Toshiyuki Kuroki did for his 79-year-old wife, Yasuko to make her happy again.

    The couple lived on a dairy farm in Japan, where they tended to a herd of 60 cows every day. When she was 52 years old, Yasuko experienced a problem with her eyes and ended up becoming blind very suddenly, within a week. 

    And as you can imagine, she was absolutely devastated. Not only did this drastically change her day to day life, but she also gave up a dream the couple had of taking a trip around Japan when they retired. Yasuko ended up shutting herself off from the world and fell into a deep depression.

    Her husband decided to get very creative about coming up with some way to bring happiness back to his blind wife.

    He came across a pink moss flower in his garden and noticed that it had a scent that was just as beautiful as it looked. He came up with the idea of planting his farm full of these beautiful pink flowers so that his wife could enjoy their wonderful fragrance. He also thought that maybe the flowers would attract people to come and visit the garden, so even if she wasn’t able to or comfortable with traveling, people could come to her. 

    Well, he spent two years building the foundation for the garden. And, his idea worked – the pink flowers bloomed all over their fields, and they lured his wife out of the house to enjoy them. People who had heard about their touching love story started coming to visit to see the couple and the beautiful pink flowers. Now, up to 7,000 visitors come to visit every year from late March to April, when the flowers are fully blooming.

    What a fabulous example of what it means to live in the Miracle Zone!

    First, is that the husband lives in what I call “the land of all possibilities.”

    That means that no matter what happens, you know that there are infinite possibilities and creative solutions available in the Universe for you. Toshiyuki wanted to bring his wife happiness. He didn’t know exactly how that would happen or what that would look like, but he started with that clear intention and with the perspective that anything is possible. That perspective keeps you open to discovering the solutions that the Universe wants to provide for you. 

    And then, he listened to his unique inspiration.

    You can imagine the lightbulb moment that went off the day he smelled the pink flowers and thought to himself – “What if I created a whole field full of these flowers? Maybe that would make her happy!” The Universe speaks to us through our intuitive hits – through those ideas that pop into our mind and bring with them a sense of excitement. Listen and pay attention to the nudges you receive. Don’t write them off – because there may be gold in them. 

    And finally, he took aligned action and put in the work day after day.

    He spent years digging, planting, weeding, watering, waiting, and taking care of the field and the flowers to support them to grow. The Miracle Zone isn’t about magical thinking – our participation is required to co-create with the Universe. And when you take aligned action, the universe will meet you more than halfway.

    Be sure to watch the video to do a process with me where you’re going to create your own Land of Possibilities in your mind – a place you can always visit to tap into the Universe’s creative solutions.

    How delicious is it to be in your Land of All Possibilities? Know that whatever came to you during that process – that is your sacred place that’s just for you. Trust that your request was received and open up to the ways the Universe speaks to you – it could be an idea that pops in your mind, or a song you hear, a sign on the highway – just pay attention and notice what resonates with you and creates a feeling of excitement.

    Miracles are a gift of the divine AND our participation is often needed! So once you get your inspired idea, take baby steps and take aligned action to bring it life. Remember the husband who spent years digging, weeding, and watering to bring his inspired idea to life.

    Embracing the Storms of Life

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About Embracing the Storms of Life…

    If you’re going through something really challenging, it’s human nature to want to get to the other side of it as quickly as possible. Sometimes we can resist feeling the uncomfortable feelings that come up – whether they’re frustration, anger, fear, sadness… You might have heard me say before that what you resist persists. Pushing away feelings can make them even stronger, leaving you more stressed or frustrated or upset.

    We live in a culture that tends to celebrate the light and happy feelings and makes any uncomfortable feelings “bad” or wrong.

    There’s that saying, “You can’t have the rainbow without the rain.” We focus on the rainbow so much that we forget that RAIN is a miracle in itself. The rainbow is beautiful to look at AND the rain gives life to everything on our planet. 

    We don’t always know what the purpose is of the storm that we’re going through. We don’t know how it will ultimately serve us in some way. But if we approach it by trusting that we live in a benevolent universe and that life is for us rather than against us, then we can move through the storm with grace and we can open to miracles. 

    Joseph Campbell wrote: 

    “The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation. When everything is lost, and all seems darkness, then comes the new life and all that is needed.”

    Campbell said that he looked to an idea that Nietzsche shared called “the love of your fate.” The idea is that whatever happens, you trust that it’s what you ultimately need. Campbell says that if you bring love to it, you’ll find your strength to go through whatever’s happening, and you’ll be able to look back and see that these moments are actually what shaped your life for the better.

    So if you’re going through a storm, don’t try to bypass it – bring love to it. Be with the feelings that it brings up in you – even welcome them in. Because what we embrace in love dissolves.

    One way I like to practice this is through what I call the bathtub process. I imagine that I’m lying in a bathtub (or maybe I do this in the bath). I might bring in epsom salts and some essential oils and allow myself to really deeply relax. And then I welcome in whatever feeling it is that I’m struggling with. I welcome the anger, I welcome the worry. I just allow it to be – and I embrace it with love. And through accepting and loving it, it starts to naturally lighten up. And once it’s lightened, I imagine it just flowing down the drain easily with the rest of the water. 

    I invite you to do a little variation on this process with me in the video.

    This 4-minute process starts around 5:30.

    Notice if you feel a shift from that process. It could be a big shift or just a tiny one. 

    This may be a practice you’ll need to return to to keep supporting yourself. Just keep approaching the feelings that arise one by one with love. When they can loosen their grip on you, you can have more resources within you to take whatever action is needed in your life.

    So, I’ll leave you with a quote from Thich Nhat Hanh, “Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” Leave a comment to share your experience of embracing the storms of life. I send you love!

  • Turning Mistakes Into Miracles

    Turning Mistakes Into Miracles

    Today’s Miracle Moment Is About Turning Mistakes Into Miracles…

    The great Jazz Pianist Herbie Hancock tells a story about his time playing in the legendary Miles Davis’s band. Back in 1963, they were playing a show in Stuttgart, Germany. Herbie had just gotten a portable reel-to-reel tape recorder, which at the time, was the smallest portable tape recorder available in the world. Herbie wanted to use it to record their show, and to that, he had to crawl under his piano to set the microphones up. Miles didn’t realize what Herbie was doing, and he counted off the tempo to cue Herbie to start the show, but Herbie was still under the piano. 

    When Herbie doesn’t start the music, and Miles realizes that he’s under the piano, Miles puts his hand over his face and goes “UHGG.” Luckily, they were able to recover. And Herbie says that it turned into a really tight, powerful, fun innovative show that night.

    Well, that was only the first mistake Herbie made that night. Later in the show, they were playing Miles’s song, “So What.” Right in the middle, Miles was playing one of his amazing solos, and then, Herbie came in with the wrong chord. And it was really obvious that it was the wrong chord – it sounded completely out of key. So what did Miles Davis do? He took a moment to pause, and then, he played some notes that actually made Herbie’s chord sound correct. It took Herbie a minute to recollect himself before he could even touch the piano. It astounded Herbie that Miles was able to take something wrong and make it into something right with the power of the choice of notes that he played next. 

    What Herbie realized was that Miles didn’t hear the chord as a mistake – he just heard it as something that happened, and so he found something that fit the notes that were played. 

    Well, the Universe is also a great jazz musician, with the masterful ability to make something miraculous out of what you see as your wrong notes. 

    Often, viewing something as a “mistake” is where you can get stuck. You can’t see the full picture yet, so you don’t know how this “mistake” can lead to miracles. 

    The Universe wants us to learn our lessons – and that’s what we’re here on earth to do. Sometimes, mistakes are the biggest teachers. The Universe has a lot of grace for us in that process – just like Miles Davis did with Herbie Hancock. 

    If you tend to be very hard on yourself, then there’s a good chance that part of your lesson is to learn how to love and forgive yourself. Or maybe your lesson is to take responsibility for something that happened. There’s a difference between taking responsibility for your actions and going into a shame or self-doubt spiral. If you get stuck in the place of regret, shame or self-loathing, you can block the energy from flowing. Forgiveness and taking responsibility moves the energy and opens up space for miracles to occur. 

    You can also look to Harrison Owen’s Four Immutable Laws of Spirit to more deeply trust that whatever happened is exactly the way it needed to occur. They are:

    Whoever is present are the right people. Whenever it begins is the right time. Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened. And when it’s over, it’s over.

    So let’s do a little process now to help you shift out of the “mistake” energy, find your lesson, and open up to the miraculous.

    First, bring to mind some situation from your life, where you feel you made some sort of a mistake that you have any regrets or shame around. It could be something recently or something from a long time ago that still has some charge on it for you. 

    Now I invite you to close your eyes and get centered with some deep breaths. I invite you, if you can, to put one hand on your heart, and the other on your belly. 

    Breathe in through your heart and exhale through your heart.  Can go deep into your belly.

    Now, you can invite your Higher Self to join you and support you in this process. This is the part of you that’s fully connected to Source, and is deeply loving, wise, and compassionate. Imagine the energy of your Higher Self being right here with you – you may feel the energy above you or surrounding you or filling you up inside, and you feel the deep love radiating from this pure energy that is the truth of who you are. 

    Ask your Higher Self to guide you in answering the following questions. 

    1. What do I need to know about this situation to have more peace?
    2. Where would it serve me to take responsibility for what happened?
    3. Where do I need to forgive myself, or let myself off the hook?
    4. What is it that I need to learn from this?
    5. How could the Universe take what I perceive as a mistake and turn it into a miracle? (And really allow yourself to imagine the beauty and grace of what that miracle feels like. Allow yourself to feel it right now.)
    6. What is my next right action to take?

    Take a few moments to allow your Higher Self to give you any more messages about this that you need. 

    And then, say Thank You to your Higher Self, and feel your Higher Self once again merging you – present and available to you all the time to give you support, love, compassion and guidance.

    You may want to write some of the insights or answers that came to you, or take some to sit with any ideas of right action that your Higher Self suggested to you. 

    And, you might get more ideas from your intuition in the days or weeks to come that will help this process to continue to unfold, so pay attention to those. 

    Remember – you don’t yet know how the universe can use your current situation and turn mistakes into miracles, so stay open to even greater miracles than you can imagine.

    I’ll leave you with this quote from… the one and only Miles Davis! He says: “Do not fear mistakes. There are none.” Leave a comment and let me know about your experience of the Universe turning mistakes into miracles. Have a beautiful week… I send you love!
