I was a spectator at the Chicago Marathon. It’s not that I have anything against marathoners. It was just never an interest of mine.
My son, Ty, is an athlete who after playing elite soccer in high school chose to pursue running as a new passion. As someone who gives his all to anything he attempts, it’s not surprising he would end up running a marathon. But this email is not about Ty or me.
It’s about the magical experience that happens on race day and how that might inspire us in these challenging times.
Let’s begin with the 50,000 individuals who chose to run. I’m not talking about 50,000 athletes, although there were certainly quite a few present that day. I’m talking about the majority of runners who are regular people and for whom this goes far beyond just a physical challenge. It’s the ultimate mental challenge. They have decided to step outside their comfort zone, push their limits, and find out if they have the strength in mind, body, and spirit to run 26 miles in less than 6 hours. Can they tap into their super-human abilities that lie dormant and discover the truth of what they’re made of?
Well amazingly, the vast majority of them did!
But that’s just the beginning. While my son and his friend ran the marathon, I joined the 1.5 million spectators. But the term spectator is really a misnomer. It would be much better to call them fans, supporters or cheerleaders. Because these 1.5 million people weren’t lined up along the streets of Chicago for 26 miles just to watch. They were shouting words of encouragement, ringing cow bells, playing musical instruments, and cheering wildly for every runner on the course. Sure, many of them were there to see family and friends who were running – but in neighborhoods across the city people who didn’t know a single runner came out in droves to lend their support. Support which is absolutely critical to the likelihood of a runner’s success.
So why on earth would I share this story following a week when the world has been shocked yet again by the utter evil and depravity that is rising on our planet and causing immense pain and suffering?
Because what I saw last Sunday in Chicago was the Light that is the truth of our being.
It was the Light that gave runners the courage and stamina to face immense challenge and arrive victorious at the finish line.
It was the Light that encouraged 1.5 million people to put aside other tasks and responsibilities to come out and support family, friends, and strangers to rise above all perceived physical and mental limitations that keep us playing small.
It was the Light that deemed this event as a fundraiser for multiple non-profit organizations who received a wealth of donations raised by each of the participants.
It’s that Light that we need now more than ever and which seems so distant.
But what if we could IMAGINE a new way forward together!
What if for every 50,000 of our sisters and brothers who are trapped in war and violence in the Middle East – 1.5 million or more “Lightworkers” were donating resources, sending healing energy, and meditating for Peace on Earth.
What if for every 50,000 of our sisters and brothers who are battling pain and suffering in Ukraine and Russia – 1.5 million or more “Wayshowers” were volunteering our time, praying, and intending for a Rise in Consciousness.
What if for every 50,000 of our sisters and brothers who are caring for the sick and dying; teaching our children; promoting equality for all; fighting to end human trafficking; preserving our precious Mother Gaia – what if for every 50,000 there were 1.5 million or more “Starseeds” providing support and encouragement and cheering wildly for the opportunity to Co-Create a New Earth.
And what if there are infinite numbers of our ancestors, angels, saints, ascended masters, soul family, and ethereal beings supporting, encouraging, and cheering wildly for all of us who have chosen to incarnate during this most challenging and auspicious time in our history. To overcome all of the illusions that have led us to believe we’re anything less than Divine – and to restore our precious planet to the Eden it was always meant to be.
There are!
Whether you choose to be a participant or spectator – we need you NOW! Let’s finish this marathon together.
Be bold. Be Daring. Be AWE-dacious!

But we’re not through yet. Peace Week continues through September 23rd and you can find all the presentations here…www.peaceweek.org
Anne Baring and I have had an incredible experience convening a total of four gatherings during the 99 Days of Peace through Unity. We’ve met so many amazing individuals who have dedicated their lives to bringing forth Peace on Earth. So where do we go from here?
On Friday, September 22nd, at 12:30 pm ET, my dear friend and colleague, Sheila Cash, will host our Co-Creation Circle of Peace. In addition to myself and Anne, we will be joined by a panel of peace organizers, advocates and boosters doing valuable work around the world on behalf of humanity. Anne will pass on messages from realms beyond of evolutionary consciousness and purpose that have been the foundation of her life’s work. Panel speakers include: Steve Gardiner, Heather Elizabeth Neary, Sarida Brown, Janice Dolley, Teri Miller & Marbeth Dunn, Paolo Morley-Fletcher and Rev. Laura George.

The flurry and activity that is unfolding is staggering. Events from Time Square to Tokyo, Ecuador to Egypt are deep in preparations, each one of these celebrations is epic and profound in its own way. Taken together, as a whole, the orchestration is nothing less than stupendous.
Peace Week (https://peaceweek.org) is a worldwide collaboration, a celebration, a convergence with a global broadcast. Featuring deep ceremonies, multiple film premiers, book launches, extraordinary panel discussions, studio broadcasts and amazing musicians and artists from around the World, Peace Week 2023 is sure to take us to a place we’ve never been before.
And we are thrilled to be participating!
During the 99 Days of Peace, Anne Baring and I have hosted three gatherings spotlighting women-led peace initiatives through discussions with our circle leaders and participants.
Now we’re so excited to host an inspiring conversation with my dear friends and teachers from Mary Magdalene’s School in Vezelay, France, where I spent a week on retreat this past July.
In 2020, Anna Vanickova and Petra Brussen were called by Mary Magdalene and Jeshua into a channel of spiritual consciousness, which they began to discover over a period of 3-5 years through intense daily spiritual work. Guidance form the light realms opened innumerable fields of cosmic consciousness, Libraries of Light that have been inaccessible to humanity since the Fall of Consciousness. Teachings shared through this channel are living knowledge which awaken layers of soul memory through codes, resonance, remembrance and unity consciousness. They are deeply supportive to humanity as tools to anchor in the higher, New Earth Consciousness.
On Wednesday, September 20th, at 11:00 am ET, we invite you to learn more about the Consciousness of Peace. This is a far cry from the consciousness we have been living in for thousands of years. A destructive consciousness that has programmed us through fear and manipulation. But no longer.
A great healing is occurring on the planet. A healing that leads to inner and outer peace, love, and harmony. Join us to discover the tools and practices available that support the process of Awakening and Co-Creation of the New Earth.

Continue ReadingThis week I have the honor of being a hostess for the Women’s Village at the Parliament of World Religions being held in Chicago. The Women’s Village is the creative genius of my dear friend and colleague, Sande Hart, founder of S.A.R.A.H. She, along with many others, has brought this beautiful creation to life to demonstrate what happens when women converge. Hint – it’s powerful!
When Anne Baring and I decided to embark on a bold initiative to end all war and violence on the planet, we knew it would not be an easy task. But we also knew that if we gathered the women – it would be an unstoppable force for good.
What began as an attempt to try to awaken the hearts of mothers and grandmothers to put an end to this “barbarous sacrificial ritual” by saying “This Stops Now” has expanded to include all of humanity, for we need everyone to come together if we hope to succeed.
This is a movement that impacts all of us. Regardless of who you are, where you live, your race, culture, religion, politics – war and violence deeply affect you.
You have a vested interest in and an inherent right to enjoy a life that is free from suffering!
As the Divine Feminine Rises on the planet, we recognize the power in forming collaborations with others who are awakened and committed to co-creating a New Future for all.
That’s why we have scheduled a total of 4 gatherings during the 99 Days of Peace. Our first was held in June and included presentations from women leading the way toward New Earth including Anneloes Smitsman, Heather Elizabeth Neary, Teri Angel, MarBeth Dunn, Laura George, and Sheila Cash. The second gathering was held in July with offerings from Sommer Joy Ramer, Irina Morrison, and Steve Gardiner. If you missed the event here’s a link to the recording…

Since that time, Anne has published her mother’s channeled messages that she began receiving in 1943 during World War II, and which continued for 25 years.

Last year, Anne Baring and I had a heartfelt conversation about the insanity that is escalating around the world and Anne’s belief that if the mothers of the world would just say, “No More”, we could end war forever.
Since that time, Anne felt impelled to publish her mother’s channeled messages that she began receiving in 1943 during World War II, and which continued for 25 years. They repeatedly warned of a catastrophe if humanity did not change course and if men did not desist from further interference with nature and the creation of ever more deadly weapons, including nuclear and biological weapons.
Given the dire circumstances we are facing as a species, we decided that we must act on our intuitive guidance to do something now, knowing that to end the deeply imprinted pattern of war and violence would not be an easy task.
What began as an initiative to try to awaken the hearts of mothers and grandmothers to put an end to this “barbarous sacrificial ritual” has now expanded to include all of humanity, for we need everyone to come together if we hope to succeed.
This is a movement that impacts all of us. Regardless of who you are, where you live, your race, culture, religion, politics – war and violence deeply affect you.

What is the Great Pause all about?

Continue ReadingI’m excited to share that I will be joining my dear friend and Co-Creatrix, Sheila Cash, for a panel discussion during World Unity Week entitled, “The Great Pause in Moving Humanity Forward”.
We’ve all been barreling forward in an exciting, at times thrilling, evolutionary progression these past years. Every day, if not every minute new and innovative ideas, resources and tools are suddenly in view. In certain ways, our brains have been preparing under the radar gradually over a lifetime and in other ways our trillions of cells are venturing into unprecedented levels of re-integration each millisecond. Every level of our consciousness – spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically is learning superpowers of adaptability.
Never a boring moment!
In the meantime, what has become increasingly apparent is that burgeoning numbers of people are taking a pause. Some have left their jobs or even careers altogether. Many have taken several month vacations or longer sabbaticals. Others who aren’t able to manage that logistically are practicing dedicated blocks of time in nature and meditation. I’ve actually taken two pauses in the past two years, and am just emerging from the second!
While we’ve talked about letting go of old standards of thinking for decades, we’re experiencing the genuine shifts now. We’re finally flowing from DOing to BEing. There is a quietness and an exhale that is rippling through conscious circles.
Sheila calls it “The Great Pause.” Here’s what she says, “What’s intriguing is the sense that there is more to the bigger picture of evolution here. Attunement to life’s impulses reveals trends within humanity as universal energies that are being intricately orchestrated by the intelligent universe. This is about more than just rethinking our jobs. This current phenomena is revealing an organic realignment in preparation for our collective future. Our personal experiences are harbingers of what is forming ahead.
Might this phenomena actually be preparing us for a new level of co-creation globally?
I’m inviting a panel of thought leaders who have spoken about their own need for a pause recently to come together in opening up more personal perspective of this global phenomenon and how it relates to our collective future.”
You are warmly invited to join us on Zoom for this relevant discussion that is a sign of our times:

My dear friend and colleague, Sande Hart, and The Women’s Task Force is elevating the presence of Women and the Divine Feminine, a bold next step in the upward trajectory that has been mounting since the Inaugural Women’s Assembly and first women’s programming track in 2015. With 61% of the 7-10,000 attendees being women it’s time!
This year’s theme is Women’s Dignity. Here’s more about the Women’s Village…
https://www.sarah4hope.org/copy-of-sponsor-the-women-s-village
Carefully designed to support the way women create and converge, women are invited to enter the Village and be activated and inspired to deepen their commitment to protect and preserve human rights and dignity for women, for all.
Women’s Sacred Space is a welcoming, safe, and inclusive sanctuary for women of all faiths to pray, meditate, reflect, recline, conduct ceremony, spiritual practice and ritual, to move as women move, and to bless one another. Women are invited to contribute items of their faith tradition, nature, and water to any of the altars in the space.
Sande is the founder and president of the The Spiritual and Religious Alliance for Hope (SARAH), a Partner of this initiative, and they are inviting Sponsorships to help build the Village as this is not coming out of the Parliament’s budget. It’s up to us to build this Village together with our Sister/Brothers/Family organizations.
