Why this? Why now?

I have given a great deal of thought to whether or not a blog is right for me. I have been on an amazing journey - some of it very sad, some of it profoundly joyful. Transformation is possible - I know because it is happening with me.

I can't say for sure when it all started, other than it started happening with tremendous regularity upon my 40th birthday. This may be a rather normal occurence - you reach a certain age and start wondering if this is all there is in life. Am I doing what I'm meant to be doing? Are my beliefs real - what are my beliefs exactly?

Here's a smattering of the journey -

I got a divorce and began to discover and explore life from a much different perspective.

I began thinking about my health and researching and reaching out to learn things like: what I should be doing to avoid heart disease. The book, The China Study, changed my life. I am now a vegetarian. This also led me to quit smoking....and finally to stop drinking, too (I don't care what the studies say - just eat the grapes instead).

I have embarked upon an incredible spiritual journey - from a comparative religions class, to studying Ayurvedic living (of which I'm now studying to become an instructor), to learning more about Buddhism, and, as documented here in my blog, an active study of A Course In Miracles.

I am in a place in my life where I finally recognize very consciously that what I put in my mind and in my body is what comes out. As I am reminded most days when listening to Deepak Chopra's soul affirmations, "My body is the garden of my soul."

May I be of vessel of spirit, of loving-compassion.

Yes, I do think a blog is right for me. Thank you for joining me.
Namaste,

Day 78 - Lesson 77

I am entitled to miracles.  I am indeed celebrating this fact today.  While truly believing this statement is doesn't come easy.  We have been so programmed not to believe such and also to believe that we are not 'entitled' to anything.  I was on another long plane ride today and had a lot of time to mull this over.  I re-read the lesson a few times and then practiced it and even said it out loud a few times (with a big grin on my face).

At the end of that airplane journey, I stepped out into an 80 degree day and breathed in the scent of trees and flowers and sunshine.  My path crossed with two of my life teachers.  My sweet man and I listened to the peaceful sounds of Tibetan Meditation music while watching the moon - the 'Super Moon' rise in this glorious sky. 

This is going to be a life-changing, inspiring week.  I look forward to the unfolding and merging of A Course In Miracles Lessons and the teachings of Seduction of Spirit as it has been initiated by this voluptuous full moon. 

Miracles will be recognized, embraced, and celebrated.
