Relying on spirit for guidance this past year when there are so many different truths and perspectives has truly allowed Melissa and I to remain in peace, abundance and love.

When spirit comes to me and speaks clearly and powerfully, my aura is completely healed and the truth of spirit is so refreshing.

It’s like bathing in a heavenly light that fills me with a perfect state of mind, body and emotion. This photo of me was taken in Beverly Hills, CA, off Wilshire Blvd. I remember the feeling of spirit in that moment was strong.

I go into this space daily with spirit and I’m grateful that I’ve made my spiritual connection my #1 priority.

The answers I receive from spirit about my health, relationships, purpose and so many other things, are always helpful.

Sometimes the answers are unexpected and sometimes I would have preferred a different answer, but spirit is always helping me reach higher into my soul’s magical purpose.

While spirit’s love does not need to be proven, it certainly has been proven to me a thousand times.

Many people don't feel a relationship with spirit. Instead they feel disconnected. Deep down everyone wants to feel oneness with spirit.

What does “Highest Benefit” really mean...and why does it matter to you?

The Highest Benefit matters to you because:

• You are being directed to it every day,

• Things often work out different than you thought because of it, and

• Prayers go unanswered because of it.

Do you know the song Unanswered Prayers? It’s a song that says “some of God’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers” and it talks about being young and praying that you would end up with a certain person. It goes on to say that now, later in life, being married and grateful that your original prayer wasn’t answered because you know who you ended up with is the best person for you.

We sometimes can’t see what the best experience is for us, but Spirit does see it clearly.

When I was a child my Dad played this song in the car, as his music taste was usually country or Elvis Presley. The lyrics had struck me then and I’ve come back to them throughout my life. The lyrics helped me to know there is a greater orchestration than I could possibly see. To me, the lyrics meant sometimes we don’t see our highest benefit in the moment but we understand it looking back.
