Sacred Light

This is a picture of my family on June 4th, 2011 just after my oldest child's wedding in the Logan, UT Temple.  I did not go inside to witness his wedding. It was a painful choice I had to make; six months earlier, I had gone through a 'faith crisis', a 'dark night of the soul' experience, and learned horrifying things about the religion I had loved, raised my children to believe wholeheartedly, and lived with every fiber of my being for 42 years. Those shocking things rocked me to my core, shook my world's foundation, and shattered everything I thought I knew for sure.         Because Alex was getting married in the temple, t hat forced me to ‘come out’ as a non-believer to my friends and my family sooner than I would have liked. I had a current temple recommend. I could attend their wedding. IF , I could pretend I still believed and had a testimony of their myths and fables. My problem was I had to choose between being true to myself, living wit...

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the ‘bamboozle’. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The ‘bamboozle’ has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back”. ~ Carl Sagan Warning: This post will be long! T.B.M's, "True believing Mormons" should stop reading here! I was bamboozled by the Mormon Church for over 40 years. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done to challenge those intensely held, ingrained beliefs and change my mind about them. Admitting I was wrong was extremely difficult to put it lightly. I understand why so many people would rather stay in the religion of their childhoods, with their heads buried snugly  in the sand, than leave it after they discover the deceitful ‘man behind the curtain’. It takes courage to pull ...

  Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind, the natural state of the universe, un-manifest. Let go into the clear light, trust it, and merge with it. It is your own true nature; it is home.  ~ The Tibetan Book of the Dead Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len says this about the meaning of Life, “ The only purpose in your life and mine is the restoration of our Identity, our mind, back to its original state of void, or zero, of purity of heart, through non-stop cleaning. It is in the void, at zero, where Divine Love resides, providing inspiration for perfect relationships, perfect health, and perfect wealth…. Only Divine Love can transmute toxic memories into pure energies. Divine Love is the only source of Inspiration and enlightenment. .. ” Dr. Ihaleakala says answering this one question is the most important thing we must accomplish in our ...

Ready for my book signing at the  Hay House "I Can Do It" conference!  The crowd lined up fast to get their books.   It was so fun to meet and greet people who wanted a copy of my book. I signed 75 books in less than 30 mins.   It is a memory I will always treasure, sharing my work with like minded folks...    and getting to briefly hear their stories too.    It was so beautiful to connect with so many people, heart to heart. If you would like a copy of my book you can order it from my website, www.iamsacredlight.com   After the conference I took an extra day to play on the beach and sight see in sunny Florida with my sister. It was a perfect day and a perfect ending to an amazing trip!    Sunday October 16th 2016 was the night of the super full Hunter's moon. We were able to see the moon rise over the ocean and the sun rise over the ocean too. It was mag...

Molly May,  our first granddaughter, arrived on an incredible night. The night of June 20th 2016 which hosted the first full moon of summer,  and the beginning of the summer solstice! What a perfectly energetic night to be born! This little girl is unique! She has our hearts clearly wrapped around her precious, little, delicate, lovely, long fingers!! Randy and I holding our first grandchild. With 8 children, I expect to hold many 'grand-babies' in my lifetime, but Molly is our first. She is a picture perfect angel who has flown into our family, our hearts, and our lives to create joy, laughter, happy tears, and momentous memories!  Micheal and Molly, father and daughter, it was so wonderful watching my son became a dad. His loving care for his beautiful little family was clearly displayed in his every action that night, welcoming his precious baby girl into this amazingly big world.  Garrett Girls Gotta stick together like glue!
