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 307 - Lesson 306

The gift of Christ is all I seek today.

This lesson tells me that I can forget the world I made - that I can instead see a world so like Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me.

I can tell you that my day was filled with helping others (something I like very much) and then preparing my guided meditation that is to be recorded next week.  The wind has been howling - 85 to 100 mph this evening.  As I was writing my guided meditation and hearing the gusts of wind I felt as if I was in an ancient place of memory.  My meditation is about the infinite gift of giving and much of it revolves around the blessings of the sun and the stars and the simple pleasures in life - like giggling.

For me heaven involves a lot of giggling....
