No more excuses.  No more distractions.  No more delays.  It’s time to do the sacred work we have come to do.

For me it is sharing my experience with the Journals with God, which has been truly life saving for me.

For the past 12 years I have been writing in my my prayers to God(1) in my journals, and for all these years, this incredible loving Being has been my teacher and guide.  This One has helped me discover what and whom I truly am — what and whom we all are.

This One has helped me to see the lies and to heal the wounds from my self-defeating beliefs, which resulted in addictions, dysfunctional relationships and unsuccessful careers.  This One showed me the power I possess to create the life full of love and beauty that I desire.

It’s time to share this with everyone who seeks to awaken to the truth of who they are.

I have created a Free PDF download on how to Talk to God AND Get the Answers – in 5 Easy Steps.  It provides the core concepts that can open you up to hearing and receiving the thoughts of the Divine. It provides actual steps for you to learn to hear and access the greatest teacher if all.  With this information you will transform your life – as I have transformed mine.

The most important step in this process is to Make it a Practice.  Each message is profound, but transformation comes from the energetic shift that happens through the daily connection to the Divine.  I feel the shift every day, and I enter each day from a whole different level of awakened consciousness.

To support people in making this shift, I have created the Journals with God, 30-Day Journaling Challenge.  This challenge creates a structure to support you in your daily practice, and to connect with others who are also stepping into the unknown and also receiving guidance from the Divine.  I am offering this program to individuals and groups.

The next 30-Day Journaling Challenge starts on May 1st, 2015.  Click HERE  to Learn more.  If you decide to sign up, use this code as my gift to get 50% off:  42104JC.

“Honoring your nature is honoring the sacred.

Love, God”

Good Morning God. Today, I’m delivering a painting I did for Planet Bluegrass for the Folks Festival art.  I’m really happy with it.  I so enjoyed doing it.  Painting is one thing that always makes me feel like “me”.  This continues to feel like sacred work.

“Good morning my love.  Your art is and has been a beautiful expression of the experience of being you.  You will continue to nurture this part of you and it will grow again.  Honoring your nature is honoring the sacred.  Since you were very young, you’ve known that you are being you as you share the beauty you see in the world through your hands.  Yes, this is sacred work.

Love, God”

“Your laser focus on what is yours to do will bring your greatest results.

Love, God”

Good Morning God. There is a lot going on, packing, moving, baseball, work, and re-creating our next 30-day Journaling Challenge for May 1st.  Again, I awaken wondering what do I do first?

“Ride the bike. Love your boy.  Do the work on your plate today.  Follow the energy.  Stop to sense the deeper impulses to move.  Your mind can still act and react from habit and fear.  Pause and reconnect.   Touch into your knowing.  From here  you know what is yours to do first, second and so on… Then do it.  Your laser focus on what is yours to do will bring your greatest results.

Love, God”

“I rest in God“

Course in Miracles

Good Morning God.  Today is my birthday, and in a Course in Miracles, the lesson is “I rest in God.”   I am resting in You.  Today, I have friends coming to help me pack for my move to a new home.  I’m excited that everything is falling into place especially as I wasn’t sure how it would. I’m learning that I can be in motion and rest.  That I can be with the unknown and trust.  This is what I think living in grace and ease means.

“Yes! Happy Birthday my love.  And happy birthday to your mother, who is here with you.  You have set an intention to live in grace and ease, and you are seeing how – that it is with me that all is possible and perfect and does not require stress or struggle.  Today, rest in the arms of all the love that is here for you with your friends and family.  As you move through this transition there will be space to see what is next.  Don’t worry about that.  Be present with what is before you now.  And yes, rest in Me. 

Love, God”

“You always get the answers you need from me, though they might not be the answers you were looking for.

Love, God”

Hello my friend.  I’m glad to be back.  In a couple of days I’m going to be announcing an updated version of my programs, starting with a free PDF on how to Talk to God AND Get the Answers in 5 Easy Steps (you can sign-up to download this at the bottom of this post).  God and I have been talking about this for a while, and it is time to bring this forward again.  I am offering this to you today.  I have always offered this writing as inspiration for you to have your own conversation with God – to get your own answers to the questions in your life.

Below is from my journals this morning:

Good morning God.  I notice that I awaken many mornings at a level of consciousness that is not quite grounded or clear.  I’m not happy or sad, yet feel a little disoriented.  I don’t feel the clarity and certainty I want to feel. I’m glad I have you, and can come to you to feel the peace and clarity I know I always find here.  

Good morning my love.  The level of consciousness you seek is not the default level of consciousness currently experienced in this world.  You do have to ‘work’ to shift it every day as you engage in the world of fear.  That is why your practice of our daily conversation is vital to you.  It is your daily reminder of who you are as you live in a world that tells you that you are something else – at the top of its lungs!  So, here we are, and I’m inviting you to be with me.  To be at peace.  To come home to the truth.  From here you know.  This is the answer to your question.  This answer is not in the million questions, but in the one.  Remember whom and what you and everyone are and the answer to all questions will be known. You always get the answers you need from me, though they are probably not the answers you were looking for.  I help you find the real answer.  Isn’t that what you really want?

Yes.  I guess so.  And I see that you always help me find the answer, which I remember that I already know.  It is empowering, versus fearful – feeling like I need someone else to tell me what I need to know.

So here we are – and you are remembering. 

Yes, I am feeling the shift in my being.  Thank you.  I know what I am to do today from this clear and empowered place.  Thank you.

Thank you!

Love, God

“The time is always now”

Love, God”

Hello my dear One’s.  I’m back.  I’m re-committing to posting my writing every day.  I had taken a break from posting, though not from writing.  I have been focusing on my work in the world and some challenges that have required a lot of my time and energy.  I have finally come to the decision that I don’t need to walk in places that are challenging in ways that don’t feel enriching, supportive, healthy, and appreciative.  So, more transitions.  I’m also glad to be posting again.  I’ve missed you. 

Below is from my journals this morning:

Good morning, God.  I’m here with you.  Many changes afoot, and I’m not sure where they are going to end up.  I’m not attaching myself to anything.  I walk forward with you.  I trust, and am listening and doing what I feel I need to do in every moment of every day from a deeper place of knowing.  The time is now. 

“Good morning my love.  The time is always now.  And yet, there is timing to what is ready to unfold in this time/space continuum.  Change is constant – as you wrote in your recent song.  And it is coming faster and faster.  Your ability to stay grounded and peaceful is the direct result of your level of surrender and trust.  You are seeing an image of a great wind blowing outside.  You are watching and knowing you can not stop it or direct it.  When it calms down and the dust settles, you will see the new landscape.  Walk through it carefully and deliberately with me.  You have come to experience the wind and the rain and the sun.  This is a windy time.  Thus the saying ‘It feels like I am in whirlwind’.  It will settle again soon and what you will see blowing into your life next will be nothing short of miraculous.  Keep your head down, stay focused and keep walking.  Hold my hand, as I’m leading you now. 

Love, God

“Today is a day of rest and rejuvenation.  As life is getting busier it is ever more important for you to prioritize taking care of yourself.  It fact, there is nothing more important.  The quality of your experience and service is in direct proportion to your level of health.  And your level of health is directly related to the quality of your relationship with Me.  From here you know what you need to do to take care of your body and mind as well as how to best be in service.  So, here we are.  Taking the time to re-unite and remember that loving yourself as an expression of loving the world.

Love, God”

After writing this I went out on a mountain bike ride for the first time in months.  It felt invigorating and rejuvenating.  I haven’t been working out in a way that has gotten my heart rate up for a while.  Thank you for this reminder.  Now, I feeling relaxed and creative and ready to be productive today.

In gratitude, humility and love,

Diane

“Be Yourself.  No matter what.  If you are radiating truth and authenticity, you invite truth and authenticity.  This is the natural state for all.  It takes too much work to hide or adjust to fear and pretense.  Be your Self.  Hold your center and focus on what is true in your heart.  It is from this place that you create the space where others will feel they have been given permission to do the same.

Love, God”

I know that I used to hide who I was waiting for others to give me permission to be myself.  I am being reminded that it is only me that can give me that permission. I also know it is easier when I’m around those who share who they are with me.  I see I can give the same gift to everyone.

In gratitude, humility and love,

Diane

“Look through My eyes.  See through My eyes.  See everything anew.  Nothing is as it appears to be from your limited view.  You ask what is yours to do and I’m telling you that what you think is yours to do will change when you see the world through My eyes versus through yours.  If you can see that there is nothing that is wrong, then there is nothing for you to fix.  So, now what do you do?  Look again…

Love, God”

We get so distracted by what we think are problems, that we can’t see what is really ours to do.  Today, I’m getting that reminder.

In gratitude, humility and love,

Diane

“Get out of the way!  Trust Me to write what needs to be written.  Trust Me to take you where you need to go.  Trust Me to bring you everything you need.  Trust Me to direct your hands and guide your feet.  This experience of writing with Me is just practice for a greater expression of me writing your life from the level of your Soul.  There is more to this writing experience than just an inspiring message.  It is a concrete example of allowing Me to be You.

Love, God”

Some of you may have noticed that I took a little break from posting.  I also took a bit of a break from writing.  I was thinking that I am getting busier and may not have time for this every day.  I, the small i, did what I have done before:  thank God for getting me back on the path of feeling empowered, then thinking I’m now supposed to go do it… alone. 

I had a beautiful weekend in Taos with friends  – plus a magical experience of meeting new friends in a gallery that totally inspired me to do some more painting.  It was a nice break – or maybe just another expression of God flowing through me, as I also know that I was guided in every step.  No, I know that I no longer go-it-alone.

In gratitude, humility and love,

Diane

“Notice how your practice of quieting your mind is helping you be more present and more capable.  You are less likely to fall or forget something important.  The distractions of the world are many.  Your capacity to stay connected to your Self helps you be more functional and effective.  From here you can realize greater and greater expressions of what is possible for you.

Love, God”

I heard this today on my hike, as I was walked on an ice-strewn trail.  I really had to focus on where I was stepping, so I didn’t fall.  I remember a time when I was riding my bike and thinking about a situation that made me quite upset.  The next thing I knew, I was on the ground (still have a dent in my leg to remind me of this crash).  I’m seeing the power of presence, and my practice has helped me go from being extremely ADD, to a level of focus and confidence that gives me the knowing that I can do anything.

In gratitude, humility and love,

Diane

“Step into your empowered, true Self and show up from here.  What you create in the world from this place will be sufficient, perfect, and beautiful.  Give this perfection and beauty to yourself to show your self what is possible.  This is how you expand your belief in your own abilities and know the truth of your own magnificence.

Love, God”

This is telling me to show up as who I am now without the alcohol and old patterns of limited beliefs in my life.  I still sometimes feel some of the old doubts and fears around my abilities based on my past failures and limitations.  But, I am making choices that are changing how I am showing up and expanding what I am truly capable of from this place.  I’m stepping up and walking forward trusting this path.

In gratitude, humility and love,

Diane

“As you are looking at your vulnerability, you also begin to look at your self at a deeper level.  Are you hiding who you are, or who you have been?  Have you been in your integrity?  When you are being in your integrity, you can share who you are without fear because you know it is from the truth.  The problem is, since you and most people have lived disconnected from your Selves and Me, you don’t know what the truth is so you don’t know how to be in your integrity.  From here you tend to do things that are not in alignment with you, which you will ultimately not feel good and make you want to hide.  This is the cycle of insanity that you can stop for your self and everyone in your world right now.  This invitation to connect with Me is actually an invitation to connect with you and living in your integrity.  This is where you do what you know is for the highest good for you and all, and thus are not afraid.  I loved what you wrote years ago Diane, “peace comes with you can trust your self not to screw yourself over”.  My question is, which self do you trust and thus listen to?

Love, God”

Every day, I begin my day connecting with God and connecting with the One (Self) I trust to do what I feel is right in each moment.  From here I know I am doing my best and am in my greatest integrity.  This, as my focus is my guide.  For there is nothing else to do.

In gratitude, humility and love,

Diane

“There is much talk and confusion around “vulnerability”, “appropriate fear”, and “safety”.  The reality of it all can only be seen and understood from a level of consciousness that knows that you are intrinsically invulnerable.  From here you show up in truth and honesty without hiding because you know that you are invulnerable.  And from here you know how to appropriately care for what is yours to care for on this earth plane.  For many the path to realizing that you are invulnerable is to be vulnerable – to share the truth of who you are even if you are scared.  This is useful because the light that you are can only be seen when it is uncovered.  This includes being seen by you.

Love, God”

Even as I share who I am, I can also see where I am still hiding.  So there is always an edge.  A friend of mine puts on an open mic asking people to show up to their edge.  It is a time to be witnessed and held as we step out on that edge – not knowing if we would fall.  I did (step out and fall), and I didn’t die.  She created a safe place to put into the light what wants to emerge at this edge.  I’m continuing to build the muscle (courage?) of honesty in my being and doing – testing the edges of the truth of my invulnerability.

In gratitude, humility and love,

Diane
