Earth Angels and the Spikes in the Road

Morning Session #135: July 20, 2026

Good morning, good morning. It’s a beautiful day here in Virginia, and I’m so excited to jump back into my schedule this week. It’s been a really fascinating time of being away.

I’ve mentioned before about getting the really deep rest, and I’ve been marveling at the European way—which is taking a month to six weeks off at a stretch, oftentimes in summer. The rhythms there are to completely disconnect from your work life and be in rest, rejuvenation, and play mode with your family and friends. I got a taste of this by semi-completely disconnecting from all my usual routine. I dropped a layer of my activity while continuing to keep up with the Sacred Circles and the writing, and so on and so forth. It was very interesting to hear the observations of my son as we were driving back to the airport to say our goodbyes.

He was talking about how much time I spend conversing and communicating in whatever way that is—whether verbally or in writing. And of course, that pretty much is my nature. I remember when I was probably in my 30s, still living at the farm, as I would call it, raising two young children and going through a divorce after receiving my dear John letter. I found myself with a friend who took me to this beautiful lady who was teaching or practicing intuitive processes.

At some point, to demonstrate her abilities or to teach us, I guess, she asked everyone to put an object in a small basket as we passed it around. I put my wedding ring in there, and when she picked up my ring, she simply and quietly said, “I would like to speak with this person after the session is complete.”

I went up to retrieve my ring and introduced myself, and she went into probably the next 45 minutes of unbroken dialogue, telling me everything about my life—what had happened, what was occurring currently, and what was going to happen potentially if I stayed the course. She spoke of “spikes in the road,” as I’ve come to call them, which are choice points that present to us. It was such a blown-away kind of moment, especially as she described my future contribution to the world.

At the time, I was in a part-time, fledgling work life of graphic design and growing a business in the region. The idea of speaking in front of people was nonsensical to me. I certainly was all about the design work and serving clients, but the idea of speaking in front of people or being a public speaker was just outlandish—and actually very intimidating.

But she said, “Oh no, you are going to be speaking, speaking, speaking in your work, serving in the way that I serve.” I just couldn’t quite process that at the time. So that’s all to say: we are in our moment, and people cross our path that redirect us in such positive ways.

Of course, it only continued from there. I went from being totally immersed in my work and trying to survive my circumstances to being invited into a different spiritual circle than what I was accustomed to. I think it really got my attention. When you first come upon something extraordinary and out of the ordinary, your mind doesn’t exactly click in and get with the program because of everything else that’s happening—the overwhelm that is occurring.

But at that time, for whatever reason, I really paid attention. I came back to her talks, her lectures, and her sharing. She was really quite a remarkable channel, I must say. And this was during the time that Spirit was showing me my path forward, which I would never have even understood. But it was like a seed—a very bright seed planted in my consciousness.

Of course, other people around me would deliver messages to me and step into my life to support what was happening. I have really come to call these “earth angels.” They are individuals who have a knowing and just step forward into your life to help you, to guide you, to simply be there for you.

I specifically had a person I met because, after meeting this remarkable channel through one of my employees, I started going to a Science of Mind church house at someone’s home. And there again, it was this person saying, “Well, what about this? Would you like to come to a potluck supper over here?” The very first person I met when I walked through the door became like a mother to me—a second mother—at such an incredibly tumultuous time of my life.

That’s all to say: here I am, recounting my past learnings in terms of the catalysts that were in my life at that time. As I came back to work after such a deep rest this past month and began my sessions, I met and channeled for others in the way that this beautiful soul first channeled for me—to get me moving in a different direction and to give me the help and support I needed.

And so there I was, in service to others, just absolutely marveling at what a loving God we have and how much help, how much support from the Angelics, from our ancestors, from the earth angels that so deeply love us and simply want us to be happy in order to fulfill our purpose.

So this is all to say, this morning, as I reflect upon all the beautiful flowings of life and how we get from point A to point B and back again, I want to say: pay such close attention to the heart’s promptings and the people that cross our paths, especially when you might find yourself totally at a crossroads or in a quandary.

There are people, especially in today’s world, so many of us are opening wide open to our intuitive senses or our way of communicating through subtle body communication. In fact, the circle that’s going on now—the Practice Circle—I’m so pleased to hear how folks are doing after having taken the course.

If you are interested in this subject matter, I invite you to join our circle, to join the community, and let us continue the learning together. www.sustainableoneness.com
