Following the Signs

At the beginning of 2025, the intuitive nudge I received from spirit was clear.  This year would be about spiritual development.  Carving out time for a daily routine of spiritual practices, has been a priority.  There are many of us who go to the gym daily and have a regimented plan for their diet and exercise.  However, what about the spiritual muscle?  How much time does one give to prayer, meditation and faith?  This year has been my opportunity to go within.  To focus primarily on what brings peace to the soul.  The radiant light within.  

The more light you allow within you, the brighter the world you live in will be – Shakti Gawain  

What made me pursue the inner path?  In January, I was watching a film with my parents.  The movie centered upon faith and maintaining a connection to prayer.  I reflected on the film and began a deeper practice of prayer, affirmations and mantras.  When we face discomfort or suffering, it is of utmost importance to remember the higher power, the universe, along with our angels and guides.  There is something called the unseen realm, in which we must believe our ancestors and guides are watching out for us.

In Numerology the sum of 2025 – adds up to a 9.  We get this number by adding the sum of numbers 2+0+2+5=9.  This year for many souls has been about unraveling.  Foundations are breaking down in our individual lives and on a global scale as well.  Many have felt their relationships, career or living situation shift.  Collectively the focus has been on politics, financial upheaval, and the breaking down of economies.  The number 9 is a breaking point that we all need to surrender, heal and evolve.  There are numerous people I know who have felt immense challenges are trying to navigate with the energy of 9.  Things are falling apart to show us a better way of living.  We are in a shift of consciousness, one that will change the way of future generations.  One can stay in a lower dense frequency of fear or harmonize with the beaming bright energy of Oneness – LOVE.  

Each of us has a unique part to play in the healing of the world –  Marianne Williamson

I am an avid book lover and was taking a stroll at a local book store when I stumbled upon a novel called  Signs:The Secret Language of the Universe – by Laura Lynne Jackson.  I believe this was a divine orchestration.  I opened the book and read one paragraph.  I knew it was a nudge to read this book and uncover answers I was seeking.  The narrative was a blessing.  It was the push I needed to remember signs, coincidences and miracles.  That out of the ordinary comes the extraordinary.  To NEVER stop believing every person, place and encounter is connected.

When you ask for signs from the Universe, the Universe speaks back – Laura Lynee Jackson 

This year I kept on falling ill with colds, flus, stomach viruses and burnt out.  By June of this year is when the universe was testing my soul.  I ended up becoming quite ill from a chest infection and was unable to work and leave home for a few weeks.  In hindsight, this was a blessing.  I began to slow down, spent time nurturing my heart and found a deep appreciation for gardening flowers.  I became sick for my body was trying to get my attention.  It allowed me to heal, bask in silence and savor my cup of tea as meditation practice.  The moments of silence were essential, as it gave me time to figure out my next vacation.  I was guided to France in September.  The angels were whispering go home and be near the ocean.  Paris will always be the beaming energy of self-love and divine feminine energy. 

Whatever obstacles you or someone close to you is facing, do know that we are on a threshold of evolutionary change.  Trust the timing of your life and surrender.   Life will never be the same way again.  We are connecting to our sacred past lives as healers, seers and upgrading our DNA.  You incarnated in this time and space for a reason.  I don’t know you but please know – you are worthy, seen, loved and heard.  Be gentle on yourself, stay in the energy of gratitude and know the earth is carrying you in her heart.  Follow the signs, everything will lead you towards the golden path.  

Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life – Gautama Buddha

Reflections of Travels

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page
– Saint Augustine

The year of 2024, was my year of travel!  In March 2024, I was guided to Hamburg, Germany.  By the summer, the destination was Lisbon, Portugal for a family trip.  When one travels, there is often a feeling of freedom, possibility and to dream.  An underlying expectation that each journey will be full of positive experiences, people and culture.  However, what does one do when this expectation is not fulfilled?  

What guided me to Hamburg, Germany?  It was my sister whom I was to visit in Germany.  Her family are expats and have lived all over the world.  Truly an enriching way to live life!  Germany is a country that piqued my curiosity.  Historically I knew one day I would venture to this vast land.  Hamburg was like a European suburb.  It offered an aesthetic of culture, innovative architecture and was surrounded by the sea.  

Visiting my sister was an enriching experience.  This trip was preordained, as I felt we were supposed to help one another heal and evolve.  The reality was, we let our vulnerabilities be seen, spoke from the soul and showed up as ourselves.  Germany, especially Hamburg, actually shattered my soul.  I am a “wanderlust” and this was hard for me to grasp.  The reality of this vacation was that I experienced a cold culture and racial tension.  I was not accepted, as I am a visible minority.  I became quiet and had to go inwards for reflection.  I admire my sister as she has learned German, become resilient by being in another country and has found her way.  I am certain there are many individuals who have experienced what I had.  Gratitude, counting my daily blessings kept my overall energy intact.  

I have always been an avid reader, books are my source of inspiration.  I picked up a few novels before heading abroad.  I read an incredible novel called “Brida” –  by Paulo Coelho.  This novel assisted with understanding my soul, I never knew about.  That there is a light which always shines no matter what circumstances are thrown our way.  The narrative was depicted in Ireland.  The storyline was centered around a young woman who was discovering her innate healing gifts – as a new age witch.  I have always been drawn to Ireland and know I will venture there at the precise timing. 

When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way
― Paulo Coelho, Brida

During my travels to Germany –  prayer, yoga, meditation and listening to the channeling of Kyron helped me stay nourished.  My perspective was that the world is changing and kindness will always prevail.  Love needed to be sprinkled on Hamburg.  I ventured to Berlin which was a breath of fresh air.  My sister and I traveled by train, the European way!  We visited galleries, ate beautiful food and saw historical monuments that were embedded deep into my soul.     

Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light. – Yogi Bhajan

By July the forces of nature brought me to Lisbon for a family reunion.  The energy of Portugal was of light heartedness.  I had never been to Portugal and being by the ocean was a healing experience.  The moment I stepped off the airplane in Portugal, I knew instantaneously that this would be a unique adventure.  The people, history and climate was entrenched with love.  You could not help but feel a sense of awe everywhere you went.  We celebrated my Mother’s 75th Birthday, ate Portuguese tarts daily and ventured to cities close by.  I felt carefree, alive and one with life.  Portugal, had a lasting imprint not only on myself but with the entire family.  Portugal felt like a hug for the soul, one could feel a vibration of spiritual energy.    

Live your life by a compass, not a clock  – Stephen Covey


Traveling to Europe last year brought contrasting energies.  Germany was eye opening and had a deeper significance.  The influence of migration and the socio-political structure has shifted the country not only in Germany but worldwide.  I acknowledge that my expectations were not met, and that is ok.  I was vulnerable, suffering and kept faith.  That one experience will not hinder me from going back.  As I am drawn to water, it felt that I was being restored.  The universe propelled me to Germany to shine light on a country that needed love.  I too had to shed old skin and grow.  The relationship with myself was being replenished.  Portugal in hindsight was the re-birthing of a new version of who I am.  As I felt my soul shattered in Germany, in Portugal I collected those pieces like a tapestry and wove them together.  

Our souls are drawn to certain cities, countries and continents for a divine reason unbeknownst to us at the time.  Be it past-life or curiosity, there is something mystical with traveling.  The soul holds an invisible compass that guides one to particular places.  For anyone who is a wanderlust, or a carefree soul –  do not let anyone or anything dim your light.  Allow this powerful phrase from Mel Robbins to guide you on your way in life –  “Let them”.

Your relationship with yourself is the foundation for everything in your life
― Mel Robbins

The Ever Unfolding Life…

One is never prepared for events that bring angst to your soul.  You are bewildered, as you have minimal time to digest your current situation. How you respond to circumstances of difficulty defines who you are.  This chapter of my life began in June 2022.

On that particular summer day, a piece of my heart was displaced into pieces.  It has taken me over a year to process and write down the events which transpired. I stopped writing, it didn’t feel right.  I needed time to process my emotions.  In hindsight, writing has always helped me find solace and clear my conscience.  I now feel the pull to write again.

It was mid June.  On this day, I received a call from my brother.  I intuitively knew something had happened.  That morning, I sensed that I needed to keep my personal vibration calm.  The call I received while at work, left me speechless.  My brother asked me “Are you at the hospital”.  Then continued to ask me to breathe and calm down.  He gently explained that our father had a heart attack.

Now my reaction was of shock and disbelief.  My existence was in turmoil.  I had minimal time to comprehend my emotions.  All I could decipher was that I had to get to the hospital – and fast. Spirituality and the teachings of mindfulness kept me at peace. I began to breathe and pray.  Reminded myself all is well, and stay in the present moment.  Communicated to my inner being to be strong, that everything was going to be ok. It was essential that my demeanor and energy were full of joy, especially when seeing my Father.  

How do you react to circumstances that bring you to your knees?  Have you ever been in a situation that shook you to your core?  Had you crying on your knees?  Heart upside down. The significant life lesson I learned was to be a pillar of light.  To go within, tune into my internal dialogue and be mindful of my thought process. 

As I entered the hospital, I asked for strength from source energy and the angels.  There I saw my father in smiles and positive spirits.  Afterwards, I learned that he drove himself to the hospital.  Later was then admitted to emergency for an angioplasty.  How our family deals with crises is humor.  I had a long laugh with my father on how he drove himself to the hospital!  My father listened to his intuition.  The morning of his experience, he spoke to his dear friend who is a retired Doctor. His friend recommended that my father go to emergency.  Spirit works in mysterious ways.     

This story takes another turn.  A few months after this transpired, my mother had a minor surgery on her foot.  The surgery ended up being more invasive.  She was unable to walk and was admitted to a rehab facility.  In a span of three months both of my parents were going through a health crisis.  My mother was admitted home before the Holiday Season. This was our Christmas gift. 

The year of 2022 was all about service to the family.  My personal life took a back seat.  There were times I was existing in body and not in mind.  How do you come back to yourself after being so disconnected?  For about seven months my life was devoted to taking care of my parents.  I have no regrets about this.  It’s a sacred connection I share with them.  What kept me grounded was nature, meditation, being around my soul tribe and making sure I was in joy.  A year later my parents are on their path to healing, living their best lives and traveling when they can.  Like that old adage goes “this too shall pass”.

J’ Adore Paris

Travel Quotes Paris 25+ Ideas | Paris quotes, France travel, Paris travel

Breathe Paris in. It nourishes the soul – Victor Hugo

Is there a country or city that captivates your spirit?  That instant, the airplane arrives at this sacred destination, you feel at home?  Everything becomes clear.  You begin to glow, exhilarated and full of possibility.  For me, this is Paris, France!  The moment my heart arrives in Paris, I am reborn.  I recognize, there are many of us who have shared this calling when traveling.  You can not explain it however, being in a specific city or country makes you feel utterly free.

Paris is not a city; it’s a world – King Francis I

Oui Oui Paris

I’ve been blessed to journey to Paris on several occasions.  Have explored this sacred city in all seasons as well.  Often, I am asked why Paris?  The country of France has appealed to me for decades.  I AM eternally drawn to the magic of Paris.  The culture, food, art, history and fashion are a few aspects which are captivating.  One of my favourite activities is walking along the Seine River.  Sitting close to the water, and absorbing the energy.  Getting lost in the city streets, people watching in local cafes are a must.  Exploring Boulevard Saint-Germain is on top of my list as well.  Having a baguette, trying every type of dessert is an absolute treat while in France.  One of my fondest memories in Paris was watching a film  at the Parc de La Villette.  It was full of local Parisians, who were enjoying the simplicity of life.    

My firm belief is that there is a calling to Paris.  One trip does not suffice.  You will rediscover other parts of the city and sites every time you return.  I am sure many have seen the nostalgic film called “A Midnight In Paris”.  Watching the movie evokes a yearning always.   Every aspect of the film I can relate to.  I feel the writer in me, is influenced by philosophical narratives that derived from Paris and France.  There is an inclination that I will relocate there one day soon.  The soul has an inner knowing of where it needs to be next.   

Paris is a place in which we can forget ourselves, reinvent, expunge the dead weight of our past -Michael Simkins

Highlights of Paris

Traveling is a personal journey.  Particular sites or attractions may appeal to you and are uninviting to others.  My advice is to immerse yourself wherever you go.  Learn the language, meet locals and be open to everything.  Listed below are a few highlights that may be of interest:

Jardin de Plantes – A botanical garden located  in the heart of Paris.  The Museum of Natural History is also located in this garden.  Be prepared to spend hours taking in the aesthetics of horticulture.

Rodin Museum – Visiting the Rodin museum in Paris will leave you in awe and inspiration.  A must see in Paris. 

Sacre Coeur Basilica – The Sacred Heart of Paris, located at the top of Montmartre.  The interior of the Basilica is mystical, you will feel a deep connection to spirit.  The Montmartre area will leave you breathless with artists, performers and shops in proximity.      

Montparnasse Tower – Has one of the best views of Paris.  You can take in the whole city of Paris from here! 

At night I would climb the steps to the Sacre-Coeur, and I would watch Paris, that futile oasis, scintillating in the wilderness of space. I would weep, because it was so beautiful 

 – Simone de Beauvoir

Why do you travel?  

What motivates you to travel?  In my perspective it’s a soul calling.  Spiritually speaking, could it be that you have had past-lives in a particular country, city or region?  Perhaps your soul is being called back for some inner awakenings?  Personally speaking, I have had vivid dreams of traveling to Paris.  Sometimes it is unexplainable why we gravitate to particular places.  The world is your oyster, it is meant to be discovered and explored.

Traveling is invigorating.  I encourage you to visit all parts of the world.  It is getting out of your comfort zone which helps you to learn and mature.  When you travel on your own, it’s relying solely on yourself.  You expand exponentially on a soul level once you venture out on your own.   You answer to no one but yourself.   This experience  is worth traveling.  You have the opportunity to evolve, make ever lasting contacts and discover a new way of living.  When are you leaving for Paris? 

I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris
Why, oh, why do I love Paris?
Because my love is here

-Georgia Gibbs 

The Divine Essence of Nature

13 Beautiful Nature Quotes - LAUGHTARD

Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things – Lao Tzu

The year 2020 was a period of inner awakening and reflection.  Not a single person anticipated Covid-19 or a global lock-down.   Life was placed on pause for all of humanity.  Visiting your family, going to work, dramatically shifted.  Communicating via online resources, is how everyone stays connected.  Social distancing and masks have become somewhat the norm for the mass.

We are living in a new timeline on Earth and unaware of what lies ahead.  We may be fearful of what is to transpire,  however life can only get better from this moment forward.  There are also many blessings from Covid.  I often question,  how did this all happen?  Has Mother Earth been trying to get our attention all along?  What comes to mind is nature, how can we learn from the elements of the earth?    If we listen intently, they speak to our soul.  

Moon  

First and foremost I am a Moon child, born under the sign of Cancer.  The Cancer sign is governed by the moon.  The moon is Yin energy, associated with the Divine Feminine.  When a Full Moon occurs, it is a time of retreat.  The themes of forgiveness, self-compassion and surrender are apparent during the transition to the full-moon.  The luminous moon is an elixir of dark and light.  As the moon enters different phases, human beings feel the gravitational pull as well.  The moon is asking you to honor where you are, and nurture your being.  

Sun

“Here comes the sun, and I say its all right”  Beautiful lyrics sung by the infamous Beatles.  The sun is known to have masculine Yang energy.  It is that inner fire within your soul.  Correlated to the solar chakra, which represents confidence, will-power, strength and more.  Do you ever notice when the sun shines, it brightens your day?  The sun gives light to the earth, helps with growth and vegetation and showers us with vitamin D.  The sun can be seen as a force so powerful, one can not comprehend its magnitude.  

Water

Water fluid, ever changing and representing the veins of Gaia.  Water represents our emotions.  The veins of water are oceans, lakes, streams and rivers.  With Covid how have you been, emotionally and spiritually?  Are you able to flow with everything or have resistance.  The more you can flow with life and surrender, it creates space for change.  Remember, water represents 70% of your body.  The more water you drink, it aids with nourishing your inner temple.  

Nature always wears the colors of the spirit –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Air 

Historically the element of air is associated with new beginnings, creativity and intelligence.   When the forces of wind are roaring in the air, Mother Nature is trying to get our attention.  Could it be the wisdom of our ancestors speaking to us through the wind?  Perhaps, whispering messages for us to decipher or understand.  Have you ever heard that expression, spring is in the air?  Air is what we breathe in each day, gives us vitality.  Spring air brings in expansion, similar to all seasons.  The question is, are you listening? 

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter — Rachel Carson

Fire

Fire is depicted as a masculine energy, providing light and transformation.  It starts out as a flame and has the capacity to burn anything which comes in its way.  Fire represents strength as there is a power in the flame.  It could be seen as a destroyer of the darkness.  This element takes out the old and brings in the new.  Fire is a force to be reckoned with. 

Earth

Earth energy is stillness, life and rebirth.  It is grounding, nurturing and wise.  By planting your feet outside on the earth you are healing.  There are many who noticed a shift during 2019 and the beginning of 2020.  On a personal level, my soul felt tired.  I was feeling lethargic, sensed I needed to rest.  I was not angry when Covid occurred.  I recognized it as a time of healing the spirit.  SELF-CARE became a priority for many.  There were many signs that Gaia was tired.  During 2019 Mama Earth, experienced wildfires in Australia and drought along with floods in the USA.  The fires may have been her anger, the floods her tears.  We needed to listen.  Earth, if you interchange the words – becomes Heart.  One could assume, the Divine Earth is the heart of everything.  

What have you Learned from Covid?  

The earth is the foundation to everything.  My firm belief is that we needed to go back to basics.  Be love, shine love, be an expression of love.  Nature is our source of healing, by being outdoors our senses are heightened and soul expanded.  Family time is something to never take for granted.  The value of making your meals and sitting with family is golden.  Memories that are irreplaceable.  Many realize that they require less to be happy.  Relationships have been tested and jobs as well.  However, there is balance.

In hindsight, could it be possible that collectively a break was given to us, to reflect?  To converse with your inner self and higher power?  I am a firm believer that everything happens for our highest good.  There is much to learn from 2020 on an individual and collective level.  Gaia is teaching valuable life lessons, we were finally listening to the frequencies.  The strongest energetic vibration is love.       

We need the tonic of wildness…At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature  — Henry David Thoreau        

The Secret of Life

25 Jack Canfield Quotes To Nourish Your Soul (2019)

As the Lord was creating the world he called upon his Archangels.

The Lord asked his Archangels to help him decide where to put the secret of Life.

“Bury it in the ground, “one angel replied”.

“Put it on the bottom of the sea, said another”.

“Hide it in the mountains, “another suggested”.

The Lord replied, “if I see to do any of those only a few will find the secret of Life.

The Secret of Life must be accessible to EVERYONE!”

One angel, replied, “I know: put it in each man’s heart.

Nobody will think to look there”.

“Yes!  Said the Lord. “Within each man’s heart”.

And so it was –

The SECRET OF LIFE lies within all of us. 

Taken from the Chicken Soup For the Soul, by Jack Canfield.  A gentle reminder to pay attention to your heart space.  An energy center, that is always whispering messages to you.  Are you taking time to slow down and listen?  May you always remember that you have divine wisdom within your soul.   Stay well xo

 

An Inspiring Story About Breathe

Great Sayings of Wisdom | Spiritual quotes, Yoga quotes, Upanishads

There is an old Vedic story about prana that occurs in various Upanishads.  The five main faculties of our nature – the mind, breathe (prana), speech, ear and eye – were arguing with each other as to which was the best and most important.  This reflects the ordinary human condition in which our faculties are not integrated but fight with each other, competing for their rule of our attention.  To resolve this dispute they decided that each would leave the body and see whose absence was most missed.

First speech left the body, but the body continued though mute.  Next the eye left, but the body continued though blind.  Next the ear left, but the body continued though deaf.  Then the mind left, but the body continued though the unconscious.  Finally the prana began to leave and the body began to die and all the other faculties began to lose their energy.  So they all rushed to prana and told it to stay, lauding its supremacy.  Clearly prana won the argument.  Prana gives energy to all our faculties.  The moral of this story is that to control all our faculties the key is the control of prana/breathe.

The excerpt above is taken from “Yoga and Ayurveda” written by David Frawley pg. 120.  I opened this book recently, and landed on this specific page.  It was a gentle reminder to breathe.  The power of our breathe brings us back to the present moment.  Your breathe is home.  Remember calm is a “superpower “- stay well xo

The Pilgrimage – Paulo Coelho

The good fight is the one that's fought in the name of our dreams ...

The first novel I ever read by Paulo Coelho was The Alchemist.  His text spoke to my heart in profound ways.  I was hooked!  I have read many of his novels and presently reading The Pilgrimage.  I feel to some degree, I am on my own individual “Pilgrimage”.  Things come to you when the time is right.

My friends we are in a time where our faith will carry us forward.  The higher power, universe and angels are by your side.  We must remember love, and not let fear influence us.  We are all feeling the effects of Corona Virus, however it is a time where humanity must all come together as a collective family.  Its time to heal, just as Mother Earth is experiencing.

Taken from The Pilgrimage, I share The Blue Sphere Exercise:

Seat yourself comfortably, and relax.  Try not to think about anything.

  1. Feel how good it is to be alive. Let your heart feel free and affectionate, let it rise above and beyond the details of the problems that my be bothering you.  Begin to sing softly a song from your childhood.  Imagine that your heart is growing, filling the room – and later your home – with an intense shining blue light.
  2. When you reach this point, begin to sense the presence of the saints (or other beings) in which you placed your faith when you were child.  Notice that they are present, arriving from everywhere, smiling and giving you faith and confidence.
  3. Picture the saints approaching you, placing their hands on your head and wishing you love, peace, and communion with the world – the communion of the saints.
  4. When the sensation becomes strong, feel that the blue light is a current that enters you and leaves you like a shining, flowing river.  This blue light begins to spread through your house, then through your neighborhood, your city, and your country; eventually envelops the world in immense blue sphere.  This is the manifestation of the great love that goes beyond the day-to-day struggle; it reinforces and invigorates, as it provides energy and peace.
  5. Keep the light spread around the world for as along as possible.  Your heart is open, spreading love.  This phase of the exercise should last for a minimum of five minutes.
  6. Come out of your trance, bit by bit, return to reality.  The saints will remain near.  The blue light will continue to spread around the world.

This ritual can and should be done with more than one person.  When this is the case, the participants should hold hands while they do this exercise.

I felt inclined to share this exercise as soon as I read it.   Perhaps it can shift the energy we are presently in, raising our vibration and Mother Earth’s as well.  Sending love and blessings xo

 

 

 

 

How To Let Your Little Inner Light Shine

Image result for light quotes spiritual"

You have an inner light within you that is craving to be shared by those around you, by the world at large – but mostly by you. When you share your unique light, bit by bit, you light up the lives of those around you. And, one by one, you inspire them to light up too. It’s a chain reaction. And before long, the whole world lights up. Your light is contagious.” ~ Rebecca Campbell

This inspiring quote by Rebecca Campbell speaks volumes to my soul!  In her book, Light is the New Black the author helps you uncover your magic and potential aka your “LIGHT”.  It illustrates how important your gifts are and elevate your life.

The inner light is your home, something that each individual has.  I remember asking the universe for guidance at a young age unaware of what that truly meant.

There was something larger than myself and somehow knew I had to trust.  When family or friends are in situations and need comfort and prayers I often say “ I am sending healing love and light your way”.

Inner Light: What Does it Really Mean?

I am going to backtrack here, I remember in grade school singing a moving song in a choir called “This Little Light of Mine” by Harry Dixon.  Known as a gospel and children’s song in the 1950s, it later evolved into having a different connotation.  I was about 11 years old and not aware of the actual meaning of this song.

However, as an adult now recognize it was a gospel song that became the anthem of the civil rights movement in the United States.  

This song provided faith during a time of strife.  It was about giving hope during a turbulent period in history.  It is a reminder of the higher power and that grace is on your side.  I often reflect on those choir days and still hum and sing this inspirational song.  Below are a few lyrics from This Little Light of Mine:

For each day of the week, there is a deeper spiritual connotation to reflect upon. Wouldn’t it be a blessing if we could incorporate these lyrics into our week and days?  It would be a constant reminder of love, peace, faith, grace, and prayer. 

I feel that these five words are so powerful!
