I just got back from a much needed break. I was on the Celebrity Ascent, cruising through beautiful waters on a journey that was both literal and deeply spiritual. The reason I booked this Abraham-Hicks cruise was simple: I wanted to hear what Abraham had to say about the state of the world; about the chaos, the division, the heaviness so many of us have been carrying, especially in the US.
Like so many others, I’ve been trying to hold the tension of living with heart and integrity in a world that sometimes feels like it’s lost its mind. My nervous system has been on high alert for years now, and if I’m being honest, I came here hoping for some insight or maybe even a roadmap for how to deal with all of this.
But what I heard wasn’t new. Not at all. In fact, what I heard was what I already knew.
That vibration matters. That our emotional scale is everything. That thoughts create things. That we attract what we focus on. That 17 seconds of focused thought can snowball into a powerful momentum. That contrast is necessary. That death is not to be feared.
I didn’t hear instructions for how to fix the world. I didn’t hear a prescription for dealing with broken systems, corrupt leaders, or heartbreaking injustices. I heard this:
Disconnect. Tune in. Choose a better-feeling thought.
And even though I’ve taught this, lived it, and written about it for years, there was something about sitting there—on the water, in community, in resonance with Source that made the message land in my body in a new way. It wasn’t an aha! moment. It was more of a remember who you are moment.
It was visceral.
It was cellular.
It was calming.
It was validation that there is nothing to be afraid of.
Even death, in all its finality, is not the enemy.
What matters is how we feel.
What matters is how we show up energetically.
What matters is the story we’re telling—and whether it’s aligned with who we really are.
So when I think about the things I’ve been so done with—the fear, the outrage, the heartache, I can actually feel a softening.
I don’t need to fix the world to feel peace.
I don’t need to change someone’s mind to feel empowered.
I don’t need to constantly fight against something to create change.
What I need is to reconnect. Recenter. Reclaim my vibration. Do my best to stay in the top 7 levels of the emotional scale of vibration. (See below.)
Because from that place, I remember my power. I remember that impact doesn’t come from being the loudest voice in the room. It comes from being in alignment with I am feeling in any given moment and how it supports what I want to create.
So here I am, heading back into my day to day life after an amazing journey with Abraham Hicks. I am not looking for answers anymore. I am simply choosing to embody what I already know. Thoughts manifest into things. Collective thoughts come together to be a powerful source of creation. And truthfully? That’s where the real magic begins.
ADDENDUM: The crew of the ship was represented by over 1400 members from over 65 countries. There were 3200 passengers on board. All coexisted peacefully. As Luigi, the Cruise Director said on our last night, "If only people could get along out in the real world like they get along on this ship, what a beautiful world it would be."
I can't help but wonder, why not?
