Dearly Beloved...have you ever wondered where that expression originated and why? It has endured for over 500 years, and has ultimately come from our Creator Being to daily remind us that we are truly, deeply loved.

We are all beloved, and our mission on this Earthly plane is to be love and to express love.

We have all been given passion – our own unique passion and yearnings as vehicles through which to express love – through our eyes, our ears, our ability to smell, taste and touch the expressions of our respective passions.

This is love in action, expressed visually through art of all kinds; through physical movement; through auditory expression – music, voice, writing and poetry; through the smell of wonderful fragrances, and especially expressed within nature itself; through gustatory passion expressed with the creation of nourishing food; through touch expressed through the countless ways our very hands convey the love that is in our hearts.

We are all love. We are the beloved children of the Creator.

Our passions and yearnings are our gifts, uniquely given with our own choices. By learning the countless ways to express these gifts, we can deeply touch the sacred within. It takes many hours to hone our skills, to be able to go within time and again, to reach a state of grace through oneness.

Our passions are not something to be trifled with. They are a pathway back to the Divine. It takes passion, commitment and devotion to be able to find ourselves deep within.

There have been many obstacles placed in our paths and many distractions – tests, if you will, such as following a lesser path – an easy way that isn’t the true path.

To truly follow your Bliss, as one of your beloved guides named Joseph Campbell, aptly named it, there is a different mindset required.

Nothing really matters on this Earthly plane except to return to the Creator through the expression of love, which is the expression of your gifts and passions – your Bliss – your happy place where you can slip into the timelessness of Being.

That is where you are truly at home to yourself and with your Creator.

Thus, the expression of your gifts sends out love to others and healing into the world that is sorely in need of the truth and beauty that is an expression of your soul.

You are all dearly beloved, and your gifts are needed now more than ever. YOU are the expression of the love of the Creator and the Creator’s gifts of love sent to heal the world.
