I wrote this, or I should say, it was written through me:) many years ago. I offer it here as a guidepost for our turbulent times. May it, in some way, serve your journey. I find it most helpful to remember these truths when I am unplugged in the wilderness. So, following, enjoy pics of our latest retreat into something beautiful, 3 Feathers, our off grid heavenly place.
Something Beautiful
I Said to God, “I want to do something beautiful for You.” And God Answered…
Just do your part.
Be a seed planter. Do not fool yourself in thinking you create the tree. I alone create the tree.
And remember, it may not even come to full fruition in your lifetime.
Be clear of your intention.
Put out a clear signal. It is only then that it may be used to serve the greatest good.
Seek to live with equanimity and balance.
It is only in such moments that you are truly yourSelf and I may shine through.
In moments of despair, try to keep an inner smile.
Sit humbly at the feet of your life and be taught.
Become the alchemist and blossom because of – not in spite of.
Discern My illusion.
Complete love sees not just My beauty but also discerns the illusion of My absence in
ignorance, hatred and evil.
Transform them within yourself and you can transform them without.
Make Me visible in the world.
You have been given a body-mind through which to make Me visible in the world.
Care for the body and harness the mind and you’ll dance in the joy of My spirit.
Live in the mystery.
Remember you only have the vantage point and wisdom of this lifetime.
Don’t waste time trying to figure out the big picture or the ‘why’ of things.
Instead, just respond by doing something beautiful for Me.

Dearest Stephanie,I just want to say I LOVE everything about this post. The pictures of heaven are precious :))) Thanks too for sharing your intimate talk with the Beloved and the AMAZING message you received. Made my heart quiet
Thank you, dearest Carolyn, for your kind words. Miss you and can’t wait to see you when you return:)
HI Stephanie, I love this. Would you allow us to use it as a spiritual text? Because visitors to our site are of different backgrounds and religious traditions, we might want to put an * next to the word God and at the end of the text something like ” If the word “God” does not resonate with you, replace it with your idea of divinity – Love, Source, Allah, Buddha, Great Spirit, etc.” Blessings,

Yes, Manuela, of course. And what a wonderful idea to add the * next to God with other possibilities. Thank you!
