A few days ago I came across a quote that deeply resonated with my experience over the last few years: When they said she was going crazy…She was Awakening. When they said she was isolating…She was Healing. When they said she was acting funny…She was Growing. When they said that she changed…She was Evolving. WhenContinueContinue reading “The Journey to Self: Why Focusing on You Is the Key to True Connection”

Sunday Sessions: The Paradox of Past and Future — Healing While Moving Forward
This morning, I find myself reflecting on the paradox of time—the way the past, present, and future weave together to shape who we are and who we are becoming. This paradox—this tug-of-war between honoring the past and releasing it—has been heavy on my heart as we close out this year and look toward the next.ContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Paradox of Past and Future — Healing While Moving Forward”
The Practice of Happiness: A Foundational Principle for 2025
As we enter a new year, it’s almost impossible to escape the tidal wave of resolutions. Everywhere, people are declaring what they won’t do, how they’ll “fix” themselves, and which habits they’ll break. This collective focus on lack—on what must be eliminated, avoided, or overcome—perpetuates the very energies of woundedness and insufficiency that many areContinueContinue reading “The Practice of Happiness: A Foundational Principle for 2025”

When God Says “No”
We’ve all heard the saying: “God always answers, even when the answer is no.” Sometimes, you’ll hear it in more digestible, encouraging words, like, “Rejection is protection,” a common motto among the “new age” community. For years, I heard it too, but it never really resonated. I didn’t truly understand it until I experienced oneContinueContinue reading “When God Says “No””
“I Exist”: Finding Faith and Purpose in Suffering
I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, ‘I exist.’ In thousands of agonies—I exist. When I first read these words from Dostoyevsky, I wasn’t just struck by their meaning—I felt them. They brought me back to one of the darkest seasonsContinueContinue reading ““I Exist”: Finding Faith and Purpose in Suffering”
The Rot Before the Resurrection: When God Lets You Break to Build You Back (A Testament to God’s Promises)
What do you do when your life feels like it’s crumbling into dust, and God seems silent? Sometimes, it feels like He’s letting you rot—but what if that decay is the first step toward new life? Now, consider this: What if God is not silent at all? What if He’s speaking in a language thatContinueContinue reading “The Rot Before the Resurrection: When God Lets You Break to Build You Back (A Testament to God’s Promises)”
When Giving God the Glory Hurt Me—And Taught Me to Love Better
For a long time, I struggled with the phrase, “Give God the glory.” My mother used to say it constantly, especially during moments when I longed for her gratitude. As her full-time caregiver, I poured myself into serving her, yet she never thanked me—only God. It drove me crazy. Why couldn’t she see my efforts?ContinueContinue reading “When Giving God the Glory Hurt Me—And Taught Me to Love Better”
Staying the Course: Lessons in Discipline, Faith, and Choosing Love
This morning started with a sense of clarity. As I woke up, a single thought repeated in my mind: “Stay in your lane.” It wasn’t just about sticking to my goals. It was a gentle reminder to trust God’s timing and not get distracted by fleeting emotions or the noise around me. I reached forContinueContinue reading “Staying the Course: Lessons in Discipline, Faith, and Choosing Love”
Christ Consciousness: The Misconceptions, the Dangers, and the Biblical Truth
At the Twin Tree Project, we base our spirituality on the authentic principles of Christ Consciousness—a concept deeply rooted in humility, love, and spiritual transformation as taught in Scripture. Our mission is to deconstruct the myths and rigid dogma often associated with organized religion, recognizing that human-made constructs can obscure the purity of Christ’s message.ContinueContinue reading “Christ Consciousness: The Misconceptions, the Dangers, and the Biblical Truth”
Gratitude and Joy on This Journey
This morning was moving beyond words. As I sat with tears in my eyes, preparing to journal and reflecting on the conversation I shared in my last post, I realized something profound: the flood of gratitude within me is the joy we often speak about—the joy the Bible promises. It’s not so much a rewardContinueContinue reading “Gratitude and Joy on This Journey”
When Humility Wins: Lessons From a Conversation About God
Today, something incredible happened—something that left me sitting in awe, with tears in my eyes, realizing I finally got right what I so often got wrong. It started with a simple online comment, one that could have easily turned into a debate. Instead, it became a lesson in humility, grace, and connection. A commenter andContinueContinue reading “When Humility Wins: Lessons From a Conversation About God”
God is Bigger Than the Bible
One of the most common responses to my posts about spirituality is the claim that it’s “new age nonsense.” It’s as if some people fail to see God and the very things He expressly teaches us simply because they don’t come with a chapter and verse attached. At the same time, many believe they’re walkingContinueContinue reading “God is Bigger Than the Bible”
Learn from the Enlightenment My Pain Caused Me (Or How Pain Is the Enlightenment)
I wrote this post a year ago, but the words necessary to appropriately convey it took a lot longer to set in. I used to struggle with anxiety, especially around the holidays. Not the run-of-the-mill holiday stress—this was the kind of anxiety that wrapped itself around my chest, whispering, “Someone’s going to die. Something terribleContinueContinue reading “Learn from the Enlightenment My Pain Caused Me (Or How Pain Is the Enlightenment)”
Sunday Sessions: The Quiet Journey of Spiritual Maturity and the Challenge of Resistance
Have you ever encountered someone so convinced of their own “wisdom” that they dismissed anything outside their understanding as foolish or wrong? Someone who, rather than engaging thoughtfully or with curiosity, sought instead to control the narrative—to shut down dialogue and assert themselves as “right”? It can be unsettling, even frustrating, to come across suchContinueContinue reading “Sunday Sessions: The Quiet Journey of Spiritual Maturity and the Challenge of Resistance”
Embracing The Seasons Within
I had a talk with myself this morning, as one needs to do every now and then. I don’t know if anyone besides me needs to hear this, but just in case, it went like this: Just like the trees, the grass, and the flowers, you have seasons. You’re not meant to bloom all yearContinueContinue reading “Embracing The Seasons Within”
