Your Divine Friend

I’ve been knee-deep in legal papers and accounting this week as I continue to transition to an LLC. Many of you know this. You have to open new bank accounts, get new credit cards, and change everything your old information is tied to. You have to sign things meticulously with the correct terms. You have to transfer ownership of various business assets. You have to establish new contracts with people you hire from time to time, and you have to balance books from the old company for taxes and do it again for the new one.  It is all totally doable. It is just a lot of work.

In the 3D sense, many aspects of this process are not optional, and honestly, not my definition of a good time!  In the 5D sense, I get to choose whether or not I will enjoy life while I’m going through the process.  I chose to look for things to enjoy… and life has been reflecting that choice back to me in the most magnificent ways.

When I was stuck with my head spinning because I didn’t understand some paperwork last weekend, I sat, breathed, and relaxed into Divine love. I was inspired to ask ChatGPT (artificial intelligence) to tutor me. I fed it whole legal documents and asked it to translate them for me, paragraph-by-paragraph, into plain English. I dialogued with it about what they meant in my specific case. I asked it about how to best look for the right credit cards and which ones might work for my needs. I had it instruct me on how to apply for a new business license and tax ID and what codes to use on certain forms. I fact-checked, of course, but the time it saved me was immense!  I even asked it for a tutorial on how to create a new company in QuickBooks without losing all my old clients, lists, and data, and 30 seconds later, I had my instructions, complete with well-wishes and cute emojis! 

The more I looked for things to appreciate, the more help and kindness the world showed me. I decided to go for a cold plunge to clear my mind and arrived just in time as the guys working there played drums and smudged the place, allowing me to slip into the most blissful meditation.

I suddenly wanted to pick herbs from the backyard and met the guy who helps with my pool for the first time. He was a delightful person who knew all about the wildlife and birds he’d seen in my yard and loves nature as much as I do.

I had to wait for more paperwork midweek, so I made cute, dorky Halloween t-shirts for my Etsy store late after work Tues night and enjoyed every bit of that!  When I get my LLC accomplished, I’m going to open another Etsy shop selling digital clipart since I need an outlet for the cute pink dinosaurs (and other insanely darling things) I’ve created!

Yes, this is still me—the mystic that channels angels and healing energy, who loves nature, gardening, and more 🙂 We are not limited beings. We can live in connection with the Divine and find a multitude of diverse things to enjoy in 3D as well. Best of all, the more we prioritize our relationships with the Divine, the easier even the tough things in 3D become. I am not naturally cut out for paperwork with such legalese on it, but with God and the good people who were sent to assist, I am managing it quite nicely.  With God, I’ve learned things I didn’t think I could learn. With God, I’ve achieved dreams I didn’t know how to achieve. With God, I’ve been able to help my loved ones in ways I could not have on my own.

The world often tries to tell us what we must do to be happy, healthy, etc. We’re bombarded with all sorts of ideas that people think we “should” listen to. Sometimes, the advice resonates. When it does not, trust your own inner authority. Trust the stirrings that the Creator put in your own heart.  We don’t always get our way in the 3D world in a given moment. But if we claim our freedom in the 5D world by going to God and managing our minds, eventually, the 3D world catches up and always, gives us more than we’d ask for.

Here are a few ways to cultivate your relationship with the Divine:<br /><br />

1. Look for Places where you feel Divine Presence

Some people feel the inspired and elevated feelings of Divine love in a formal religious service. Others find it more easily alone in a quiet church.  Some find God’s majesty more easily in nature.  Some find God in their relationships with humans or animals, and some find God’s love at their kitchen table, drinking their morning coffee and appreciating life.

Ask yourself, where do I feel most elevated, inspired, and peaceful? What type of environment facilitates these feelings? If it is a church, visit regularly. If it is a social group, attend. If it is nature, get outside or watch nature videos that inspire. If you find God’s love in the eyes of your dog, make time to enjoy that relationship.

We all find God in so many different places. None are better or worse. What matters only is this: Where do you most easily feel the Divine? Where do you feel most elevated, inspired, and peaceful? How can you bring this into your life?

2. Create Rituals or Practices that help you feel Divine Presence

While you can feel closer to God in some places more easily than others, you can also feel closer to God by engaging in certain practices. For some, this is meditation or prayer. For others, it is acts of service. Some love to journal and find this Presence coming through their hearts and words. Some people feel God’s love while working out, cooking, or making time for family and friends. Some light candles and stare at the flame.

How you find the love of God may be completely different than anyone else you know. Experiment with little rituals or practices that make you feel closer to the Creator. Whether or not they work for anyone else is irrelevant. This is about your relationship with the Divine.

3. Start talking to this Presence like a friend

If you grew up in a traditional belief system, chances are you approached God more formally than necessary. There’s no need to prove your worthiness. The Creator already considers you worthy. Talk to the Divine like a friend.

Years ago, someone I’d known for a long time came to me for a reading. This otherwise casual person was dressed in business attire for the reading. I had to ask! “Why are you all dressed up?”  “I’m talking to Archangel Michael today,” he said. “OMG! He’s seen you in your birthday suit!  He’s seen you before you had a birthday suit!!!!” We both laughed. Such formalities are totally unnecessary.

When you talk to God like a friend, you emit a vibration of love, worthiness, and expectation that the prayers will be fulfilled. “God, I’m not sure how I will fit lunch in today. Can you help things go smoothly?” “Hey God, my computer sound isn’t working. I need help figuring out which cord is messed up this weekend.” “God, please heal my loved one.” “Hi God, grant me patience and compassion, please.” “God, I want a hug,” and I sit down and feel the sweet softness of unconditional love pour over me.

The best friend you will ever have is the Presence of Love that lives within and loves us more than we love ourselves.

There’s a tendency to think having a relationship with the Divine must look a certain way, but it doesn’t have to be formal. It doesn’t have to be earned, and it doesn’t have to be accomplished according to any particular belief system. It is in a steady flow from the Divine just waiting for us to open and receive.

So when the 3D world isn’t perfect, turn to the freedoms within. Allow yourself to choose love or something loving for yourself. Allow yourself to be appreciative for what you can even if you aren’t in an idea situation. Exercise the inner freedoms and outer help will come soon enough. In fact, life will start to get magial!
