Go Where The Ancestors Are
You must go where the ancestors are... And when you get there stay as long as you can, so you can gather more love, more courage, more wisdom. You have unfinished business to take care of. We all do. Don't you think it's time to get down to that unfinished business? This photo was taken in the heart of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Although I grew...
Be Open To Your Blessings
I was a guest on a podcast called The Conscious Consultant recently I spoke about my spiritual journey and the forces of adversity that led me to my purpose. Near the end of our interview, the host asked how I feel about the global challenges we face: climate change, political unrest, endless wars -- you name it. He wanted to know if I feel...
Don’t Take It Personally
It might not be going your way right now... But this doesn't mean it was a mistake. And it doesn't mean things won't work out in the end. Stay on the path; keep taking one step forward every day. Think about how far you've come, and what you've learned along the way. I was sharing this wisdom with a client recently, but I also feel inspired to...
Embracing a New Chapter
Her baby is on the way. That's the text I received from one of my clients while I was out taking a walk today. "He's growing fast. He's three pounds already. He's very healthy and active," said my client who's seven months pregnant. I smiled. It's great news. It was gratifying for me because I did a spiritual reading for my client about four...
Be Still
Blessings Yes, I know, there's a lot going on. But take a moment to be still. Not just today, but every day. That's when the answers you need are most likely to come to you. That's what my friend Cheree Hill shared during our FB Live a while ago. You can listen to a short clip of our talk here. She's on a life-long journey of healing. Cheree is...
No Storm Lasts Forever
I recently found an old photograph I had completely forgotten about. It was taken during my first trip to Nigeria in 2003. It's a photo of my son, Malcolm, standing next to a healer. This photo brings back memories of a chaotic time of my life when Malcolm was involved with gangs in Oakland, California. I took Malcolm with me to Nigeria get...
Embrace Your Spiritual Gifts
My friend, Simone, had to hit rock bottom before she fully embraced her spiritual gifts. "I was scared, and fear took over," she told me during a FB talk last year. "I was focused on what other people would think." Simone is a spiritual medium; she connects with ancestors to help guide people through life. But coming from a middle-class,...
Decide What You Want in 2023
I hope 2023 is off to a good start for you, and your family. I'm wishing you good health, love and abundance. And clarity and wisdom too:) I don't know what your goals are for the new year, but I strongly believe emotional health and self-care should be at the top of the list. Emotional health is the foundation -- don't be afraid to ask for help...
Why You Need To Start Saying No
I had a great talk with my friend, Iya Omitosin recently. She's a healer, an accomplished businesswoman, and a leading Iyanifa, or high priestess in the Yoruba spiritual tradition. I love her because she's down to earth, and loves helping people. One of the nuggets she shares in our talk is the importance of saying no. Iya Omitosin is sharing...
Trusting The Signs Around You
I had a great conversation with my friend, Maya recently. About two years ago, she trusted signs she had been receiving and moved to Ghana. It wasn't an easy decision or journey, but so far it has been working out. She now has a thriving business in real estate in Ghana. Maya first visit to Ghana happened during a challenging time in her life. "I...
