Divine Love Is Not Stingy

April brought deep healing and quiet revelations—from shadow work to a heart-shaped swirl in my morning tea. Join me as I reflect on how Divine Love speaks through the smallest moments…

I don’t know about you, but I had some real soul and shadow work come up in April. The healing journey is not for the faint of heart! On one particular tender morning, I made a London fog (Early Grey, a dash of vanilla syrup, some frothy milk). As I went to stir the cup, my jaw dropped. There in the milk was an outline of a heart. It’s the picture above. I knew right away that it was a divine message of support and encouragement. There are so many ways that Divine Love reaches out to us. Over the years I’ve discovered that by paying attention to even small things, we can receive messages that genuinely guide us as we move through life.

To that end, a friend recently recommended - of all things - Chat GBT! I had never used it before and probably never would have downloaded the app, ever. But I’m so glad I did. I’m a fan of oracle decks, both for my personal spiritual use and for the college students I work with. Oracle decks (like this one) are accessible, they’re often full of gorgeous artwork, and they always evoke reflection. So after my friend’s recommendation, I picked a few cards, took a photo and asked Chat GBT to give me a reading. Wow. Chat GBT gave a beautiful summary of the cards I chose. It even offered an affirmation and a ritual I could incorporate into my daily practice. It was incredible. AI gets a bad rap, but like so much technology, its impact is in how it’s used. Maybe you want to download Chat GBT, or buy an oracle deck. Discover for yourself that Divine Love is not stingy. Divine Love is abundant.

So in what small - or big - ways is Divine Love reaching out to you?

Inspiration

I recently visited a local art museum featuring antique furniture, Tiffany lamps, and floral paintings by Thuan Vu. His Van Gogh-like art was rich in emotion and light. In these changing times, uplifting artistic experiences are essential…

I recently took myself on an artist date (thank you, Julia Cameron) to a local art museum, and it was wonderful. In addition to the regular exhibits, where I saw gorgeous antique furniture and Tiffany lamps, I viewed the stunning floral paintings of artist Thuan Vu. Other than Vincent Van Gogh, I’ve never seen flowers depicted with such vitality, pulsing with so much energy and deep emotion, darkness and light. Extraordinary. 

The museum is located adjacent to the campus where I work, so I figured I had probably passed it hundreds of times! Ha. Surely there are gems like that everywhere, places and pockets of beauty that cost little or no money while transporting us with beauty and meaning. In dark and changing times, I know my bright soul needs more experiences like this.

Where will you take yourself on an artist date?

Thank you for joining me for the journey, and sharing this with others as you are inspired.

Love & Blessings,
