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 102 - Lesson 101

God's will for me is perfect happiness.

Well, of course, I love this lesson!  We are raised to believe in suffering - maybe not directly, but certainly in many messages.  Messages about how we don't automatically deserve anything, life is all about hard work and then you're lucky if you get your fair share, life isn't fair.....I know I said these things to my children.  Ugh!

As I read and study this Course in Miracles, it's like a light has been turned on - which is good because that's the intention - but it makes so much sense.  Why would God, Source, Pure Consciousness create us just to make up all sorts of difficult rules that don't really serve holiness, but serve whatever leadership happens to be in place; rules that exclude others and such.  No, it makes so much more sense that our divine sparks are meant to glow with happiness.  We are loved always and our salvation secure.
