There comes a moment on the spiritual path when we stop trying to find our purpose and realize that we are already living it. This is the essence of Sovereignty, when destiny becomes you.

My husband and I recently made a commitment to digitize our family photographs. Six boxes filled with moments that hold our shared history. As I began the process, I found myself especially drawn to the pictures of my ancestors. Each image seemed to whisper a story, a memory, a presence.

When I was running my Clare-ity business, I received more than 50 testimonials, appeared on or hosted over 40 podcasts, wrote 4 books, and published many magazine articles. I even hosted Law of Attraction events for over a decade. And yet, despite all of this, I struggled to honor myself, not only as a spiritual teacher, life coach, and writing coach, but simply as me.

Early one morning at the Blue Shutters Inn in Gloucester, Ma., I gazed out my window over Good Harbor Beach and saw two bright lights above the dunes. At first, I thought they were UFOs.  My husband took out his planet app and we realized that we were witnessing the rare conjunction of Jupiter and Venus.
