An excerpt from A River of Hope 
Sometimes we must let go of the old to make room for the new. We become accustomed to holding onto the familiar, even when it hurts. It is difficult to consider letting go. This opens the door to the unknown. It advances the reality of change.
But when we finally let go of whatever it is that’s holding us back: old habits, negative behaviors, past emotions, painful memories, grief and sorrow; we are able to embrace the new. Our hearts are free to experience the refreshing joy of change. Our minds can be vibrant and creative. God can work through us. He will equip us to affect the world in miraculous ways. We can utilize the power of his love.
Life can be viewed as a seriers of new creations. We leave mistakes and regrets behind. We move beyond doubt and disbelief and receive grace and forgiveness. We are formed anew. We are reborn.

Tis the season to discover love. We do not have to look very far these days to see the shapes and colors of Valentines fill the air through advertisements, store aisles, billboards, and television screens. But have you ever stopped to consider what it all really means? Is it all about cupid, candy, jewelry, flowers, and chocolate? No doubt these things are nice, but what else is love trying to show us? We can search within to begin finding a new meaning this Valentine’s season. Love is caring beyond what is right in front of us. It extends further than the trinkets and good wishes of the season. Love extends our hearts into a broken world where we can work to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Love is healing. It is empowering. It is who we are.
Looking at some excerpts from my new book Sacred Peace…
Love is what the journey is truly about. It is who we are created to be. We can follow our hearts, for our hearts have the power to recreate the garden here on earth. Through our inspiration and actions we can bring about a new age; we can help others see that the birth of the new world has already begun. We do not need to sit around and wait for anyone or anything. We have all we need to prosper. We possess the ability to be happy, joyous, and free. We can begin today.
Another Sacred Peace excerpt states…
Love is the most amazing treasure! It affects us on many levels. It works deep within the soul, as well as in the situations, experiences, and events that unfold throughout our lifetime. Everyone and everything we encounter is meant to help us discover love. This is why we are created. We are born to discover the beauty and depths of love. This is an ongoing process, a lifelong journey, for love is the highest form of intelligence. It is incessantly compassionate. It will be patient. It will wait for us to come.
Let’s broaden our vision this Valentine’s Day and let love show us how spectacular our lives can be! It is great to show your loved ones how much you care, but let’s also reach out and welcome someone new. Help a friend or fellow traveler in need. Greet a passer-by with a smile. Begin an outreach. Change a life. There is no better way to live than in the heart of the universe. We can carry this love with us all year long. It is ours. It is amazing!
