The Light is Upon Us

People seldom understand the power of repetition. What is repeated over and over can become enduring: what is done in a moment is seldom lasting. If farmers do not tend to their field every day, they cannot expect a harvest. The same is true of spiritual practice. It is not the grand declaration or the colorful initiation that means anything. It is only the daily living of a spiritual life that has meaning. Our progress may range from dull to spectacular, but we must accept both. Each and every day should be linked together, strung into a long line of prayer beads. ~ Deng Ming-Dao

How do we move from the difficulties in this world and that each of us may be facing and embrace this magnificent energy? The answer lies with you. The world truly does transform one person at a time. We each have the God-given power to not only change ourselves but the planet. It's time to shift from fear to love. As we commit to our spiritual practice and growth, we are each contributing to the raising of the consciousness of all.

About Victoria and Lois

Friends for many years, we had reached a point where we each felt that we were having a hard time navigating through life. We had all we needed (with two homes in Connecticut, two marriages and four children in different phases of life between us), but something was missing deep within. And so we began a journey to find our way back to connecting to our truest selves and Divine Spirit.

A Little Book About Something Much Bigger: The Gift of a Spiritual Practice grew out of that journey. We learned that incorporating an accessible spiritual practice into a busy day is not only possible but life changing. And that made all the difference.

Life always brings its challenges. It's our deepest hope that our writing will help and support you as you make your way through them - and that they will guide you to establishing a very personal spiritual of your own. Take the time to make that deep connection with all that is Divine. It's in that place that a life of peace, purpose and abundance can be found.
