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 112 - Lesson 111

This lesson begins the third review of part one of this course.

91 - Miracles are seen in light.
92 - Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.

Today I was profoundly reminded of the many miracles I have personally witnessed and observed and felt over the past year.

The theme today was about the sharing of experience, strength, and hope.  What a beautiful thing.  I encountered people and situations all day long in which this theme played out with great regularity.  I appreciate learning to stop judging and labeling.  We are all operating at the consciousness in which we are aware - as our consciousness expands we operate at new levels.  It is a wonderful and joyous journey to seek love, source, God, spirit.

Tonight I was reading Deepak Chopra's The Book of Secrets.  There is a part in which he talks about our bodies wisdom and how our cells operate.  I love this line in particular: Cells have no problem fully participating in the mystery of life.  Isn't it an amazing miracle how each of our cells knows where to go and what to do?  They communicate with each other, they aren't selfish, they all work towards a common goal.

Keep the light on, choose miracles, and you will see them everywhere.
