I’ve got ads, and I realize there are some people who may be offended by that. I understand the push-pull of this, but I don’t apologize for using them. I think Steve Pavlina’s article “Lightworker Syndrome” sums up the resolution to this quandary very, very well, and, being a fairly long discussion, I won’t repeat it. The Cliffs Notes version is that if I am offering you value, there is no crime in getting value back. [...] […] This is why there’s a commercial aspect to my sites.

You are meant to shine, not to be snuffed out. If you feel that life in this physical universe is dragging you down, it’s because you aren’t yet in vibrational harmony with your light. The more you fear it, the more you’ll attract distracting problems that have little or nothing to do with your purpose. But whenever you’re ready, you can say to the universe, “OK. I’m ready. I’m going to pursue my purpose with all my heart and soul, and you’d better back me up.” Once you make a committed decision, you’ll attract all the help and resources you need. You’ll be shocked at just how easy it is.
