By Peggy Lindsey We all desire to be loved, accepted, and included so we don’t have to be alone. Yet, in so doing, we smother our own uniqueness as we surrender to uniformity. We don our pretend faces just to be liked. It looks something like this . . . Be outgoing, but not popular. Be well-spoken, but not overly intelligent. Be vulnerable, but hide your tears. Act perfectly, but make
By Peggy LindseyMay brings the beautiful celebration honoring our mothers. We ponder the nurturing given to us as a child and revere the woman who offered them to us. These early gifts helped us grow in healthy ways! Was that true for you? There are many among us who did not receive what they needed . . . the love, understanding, safety, and joy required to evolve and flourish into
By Peggy LindseyBelief in angels has spanned the ages of time from every corner of the world. We see them in numerous works of art, poetry, song, and stories, yet so many do not know who they are and what they do. Angels have been a part of my life since I was a child. When I was 9 years old I had my first conscious connection with an angelic
By Peggy LindseyThe new year has presented many of us with new opportunities, a change of direction, and a fresh approach to doing things . . . all with greater intention. This has certainly been the case for me having experienced a revival of life . . . as if a breath of fresh air has swept me to my feet to walk my path with a new sense of
By Peggy LindseyHopes and dreams are part of the human experience, yet many sabotage one’s chances of fulfilling such desires. Somehow we’ve been duped into believing there’s only so much to go around, that it is selfish to want too much, and that when we receive blessings in our lives then someone else does without. It’s time to let go of that belief! The Universe is infinitely abundant! We know
By Peggy LindseyEveryone experiences highs and lows in life, feeling on top of the world or trudging through muck. How would it feel to know how to keep the positive flowing? The magic lies in our vibrations! A radio only broadcasts the station it is tuned into. We only receive the energies we are tuned into as well. Sadly, we were not taught this. Instead, we learned how to do,
By Peggy LindseyThe holiday season ushers in a time of bustling activity as we dive into our preparations for this festive time of year. Soon parties with family and friends, co-workers, and clients will fill the calendar as we make merry with those who mean so much to us. Preparing for these gatherings can often distract us with the decorations and gift buying, losing sight of what is truly important.
By Peggy LinsdeyEveryone experiences moments of pain or despair, and at times we reach out to that special friend or family member . . . that one who will drop everything to be by your side, to talk hours on the phone, who will hold you physically and emotionally. These precious ones help us regain our balance. Their presence soothes us, helping us to realize we are not alone. This
By Peggy LindseyLife in the fast lane seems to be the way of it these days as we tackle our “have to’s”, and sadly, we don’t allow ourselves much time to focus on what we truly want. Yet, even with our busy schedules, we can decide to spare a few moments to “tune in.” The Angels say our only job is to be receptive to love when manifesting our dreams.
By Peggy LindseyWe all experience moments of overwhelm: whether from tasks to be done, directions to understand, or emotional upheaval, the need for assistance arises. The rub is that one must be willing to ask for help! Asking for help can be a vulnerable act, and thus, too many people refuse to do so, even in critical circumstances. One may feel shame or embarrassment, fearing judgment that somebody may think
By Peggy LindseyFor many women, aloneness is a negative state of being. Yet, choosing to spend time with yourself has tremendous emotional benefits, especially when handling negative emotions and experiences. These are crucial moments when we need solitude to reflect and recharge ourselves. When facing difficult circumstances with feelings of discomfort rumbling inside, it is essential to separate ourselves from others for a little while. When we embrace the opportunity
By Peggy LindseyPeople rarely consider how their actions impact the world. In fact, the majority of us go about our daily routines without a second thought. Yet, these behaviors unmistakably reverberate throughout our physical and social world. It matters not if one’s conduct is polite or rude, the influence spreads. As we consider the pebble hitting the stillness of a pond, we notice the resulting ripples across the water. The
