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 330 - Lesson 329

I have already chosen what You will.

And I am safe, untroubled and serene, in endless joy, because it is Your Will that it be so.

I can say that for the first time in my life this is absolutely true.  I am no longer consumed with worry and anxiety.  Instead, my heart is warmly pulsing with love and joy and I know that, whatever happens, I am safe.  I have no idea what tomorrow or even the next five minutes has in store for me, but I know that as long as I trust in Source I have nothing to fear.  I am loved.  I belong.  Me being here is no accident and my only purpose is to be happy.  Therefore, I choose those things in my life that encourage happy.  When challenges or perceived obstacles arise, I trust that there is a reason.  Often it is in our darkest hours that we are propelled to our brightest experiences.
