The Refiner’s Fire Is Not the Whetstone
There is a difference between being sharpened and being transformed, and confusing the two leads to frustration when growth does not feel productive. Sharpening implies refinement of existing form. Fire implies change in composition. Both processes are uncomfortable, but they operate on different levels and for different purposes. When people expect sharpening and receive fire instead, they often assume something has gone wrong, when in reality something deeper is taking place.

You See From Where You Stand
"The room remains full whether you can see it or not." One of the most persistent misunderstandings about perception is the assumption that seeing is the same as knowing. People often believe that if something feels clear, it must be complete, and if something feels obscure, it must be absent. But awareness does not work that way. What you perceive at any moment is not a measure of what exists. It is a measure of what your current position allows to pass through.

How I'm Emphasizing Astrology in 2026
Astrology has become quite the topic over the years. I remember when I first started implementing it into my life, way back in elementary school. Obviously, astrology has been around much longer than it has been popular in the Western world. In fact, some parts of the world use a completely different time sheet for their readings.

Metamorphosis
As the New Year begins, I unravel and shed the old version of myself that no longer serves me. Who I once was, how I behaved and reacted to situations beyond my control. And the version of me that put other peoples’ needs and wants above her own.

Patience to Perseverance: 2025 Angel Blessings and Sidenotes
Patience does not come prepackaged with a pretty little red bow. It is a gift to oneself, constructed with intentional practice. Perceived timelines must dissolve, erasing self-inflicted pressure. Patented equals a personal copyright, only when ready. Racing is neither embracing the lesson nor is it a reason. Slow and steady is the course. Perseverance is the season. -Marilyn Glover

Staying Emotionally Strong as We Age
There comes a moment in life when morale becomes more fragile. Not necessarily because everything is going wrong, but because many things have changed. The body no longer responds in the same way, familiar reference points shift, some people disappear, and the world sometimes seems to move on without waiting for us. This loss of morale is neither a weakness nor a failure. It is a human, common, and deeply understandable reaction. What matters most is not denying it, but learning how to move through it without becoming trapped by it.

The Truth About Growing Together vs. Growing Apart
All relationships develop with the person as they are growing, evolving and being exposed to new life experiences. Essentially, growth is a natural occurrence in life, however, it is not always that growth occurs within the same direction. In some cases, partners acquire new goals, beliefs or priorities which redefine the relationship. It is important to understand how these changes are happening to know whether you are growing together or gradually becoming weary of each other.
