Have you ever thought about Nature’s greatest miracles?
The first time I experienced a miracle was in the quiet aftermath of birth – relaxed, rested and happily back at home.
My first child was here – a whole perfect human being. He felt like Nature’s greatest miracle.
“We made you”, my husband would say jokingly.
This profound reality shifted something in me that took years to fully understand.
The Miracle of Nature is Our Mirror
Have you stopped to see the miracles in Nature lately?
For many years, I confess – I did not.
When you see a flower bloom, watch a sunrise or a starlit sky – is it miraculous for you or simply something nice?
Here in Canada, the Northern Lights in Alberta were recently captured by a dear friend’s niece on her iPhone:
Do you feel the marvel of the colours in our night sky?
Can you see an angel on the right?
There was a time when I didn’t notice the beauty of freshly fallen snow blanketing the trees as I rushed around with my 3 little ones in tow.
My first life coach, Lisa Garber, described me affectionately back then in her book “Becoming a Mother on Fire”:
“One of my coaching clients used to wear me out when she would check in at the beginning of our group coaching meetings. I could not believe what she did in a day, a week, a month! As a stay-at-home mom with 3 children and a husband who worked long hours, she did everything for everybody…she was totally stressed out and thought it was normal. All the other members in the coaching group agreed with her.”
We all thought that’s just the way it is being a mom!
Once I began doing my inner work (got clear on my values, what fulfilled me, and how the Universe really worked), I felt lit up .. “on fire”.
I was beginning to live more aligned and choosing fiercely in ways that worked better for me no matter what others thought.
I learned to say “NO – thank you” to what no longer resonated for me.
I stopped following expectations, and began trusting my own still small voice.
I lost people in my life (not without pain) who I needed to say good-bye to, while others quietly drifted apart.
It opened the space I needed to attract the people who surround me now where I feel aligned, and can totally be myself with – laughter, tears and playing full out.
Back then, I didn’t notice the birds singing or appreciate the miracle of nature. (If you want to experience nature’s miraculous intelligence, watch Fantastic Fungi.)
Of course, I could see and hear nature all around me, but my very disconnected soul mind mirrored a disconnected sense of nature.
It Starts with Your Thinking
“In As a Man Thinketh, James Allen wrote that a man’s mind was like a garden which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild, but whether cultivated or neglected, it would produce. If no useful seeds were planted, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds would fall into the land, and the results would be wrong, useless, harmful, and impure plants.”
~Og Mandino, The Greatest Miracle in the World
Universal intelligence has become confused in recent times.
There’s a false divide that’s been created of THIS or THAT that’s resulted in an US versus THEM perception.
Intelligent thinking needs to run wild not from neglect, but allowed to roam freely with our imagination to produce true spiritual abundance.
What we’re seeing today is a loss of our creative Spirit confined to tight rules of conformity justified with what appears to be “intelligent thinking”.
The freedom of the human Spirit is necessary for us to evolve as creative intelligent souls through eternity.
Back then, I hadn’t made the connection around my responsibility for creating my thoughts that leads to creating my life, first introduced in The Secret.
It was the seed that led to a much deeper understanding of universal spiritual energy and how we co-create valuable experiences that contributes to our collective evolving humanity.
The Miracle of Nature
Today when I step out in nature, everything about it feels miraculous.
When you first heard there are no two snowflakes alike, did you ever try to examine them up close – look up at the bazillion flakes coming down and think “really? … not one of these is the same”?

What we physically see cannot take in what’s happening in the miracle of nature. Only your spiritual eyes can take this in:
“Snow crystals are sensitive to temperature and will change in shape and design as they fall from the cloud and are exposed to fluctuating temperatures. To have two snow crystals or flakes with the same history of development is virtually impossible. Each winter there are about 1 septillion (1, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000 or a trillion trillion) snow crystals that drop from the sky!” ~Library of Congress
Each of us has our own personal history and develops our own sensitivity to what we get exposed to as we move through our limited time here.
You are unique in exactly the same way, and being rare is what makes you valuable.
How you grow will depend on the quality of your thoughts, and your ability to recognize yourself in the miracle of Nature.
Understanding You as a Miracle of Nature
Several years ago, I was sitting on a plane coming to the end of Og Mandino’s book “The Greatest Miracle in the World”. I’d already read his first classic “The Greatest Salesman in the World”.
This second book included himself as Og, busy promoting his first book, which kept me wondering “is he telling a true story about a wise old man named Simon he’d really met?”
When I came to the end .. there is a letter from God to You. No words can describe the overwhelming emotion I felt reading these final words of this story.
Tears flowed down uncontrollably as I looked out the window and reached for my sunglasses buried in my purse. My husband sat beside me completely unaware .. I couldn’t explain.
The spiritual path is one you travel alone. It helps to find kindred spirits along the way, but often these are not people in your community, family or friends.
You’ll notice many on this path back to Spirit have what I call a “conscious connection” with divinity. It feels like “coming home” inside of you.
“If you plant beautiful, positive, correct thoughts and ideas, that’s what you’ll harvest..you can actually become whatever you are thinking .. by the right choice and true application of thought man ascends to the divine perfection.”
~Og Mandino, the Greatest Miracle in the World
