Remember the moment you first felt the presence of God or a Higher Power. How did the divine come into your awareness, and into your life? Once you take the time to write this down, meditate on this experience, allowing intentional spiritual re-connection to infuse you with infinite joy and transcendence.

I have found that the Spirit, God, or the Higher Power touches us in highly personal ways. Ways we are not expecting. Ways of sweet divine presence that is transcendent of our daily routines. When you feel this spiritual energy or touch of grace, it is unmistakable, and unforgettable.

By remembering, or opening yourself up to God’s presence, you will find comfort, relief and joy in all that you do, and in all needs – especially with weight problems.
