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 111 - Lesson 110

I am as God created me.

This struck so deeply, so beautifully to me:

The healing power of today's idea is limitless.  It is the birth place of all miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world.  Practice today's idea with gratitude.  This is the truth that comes to set you free.  This is the truth that God has promised you.  This is the Word in which all sorrow ends.

As I contemplated this lesson today and reflected upon the Law of Intention and Desire, I poked around for a quote that would resonate with these truths.  I wanted something both inspirational and practical.  This is what I found:

Choose to be in close proximity to people who are empowering, who appeal to your sense of connection to intention, who see the greatness in you, who feel connected to God, who live a life that gives evidence that Spirit has found celebration through them.
~ Wayne Dyer

I am as God created me.  I am waking up each day thankful for this experience and asking how I can best be a vessel of spirit - a useful instrument of love.
