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 343 - Lesson 342

I let forgiveness rest upon all things, for thus forgiveness will be given me.

This is such a great line:  I thank You, Father, for Your plan to save me from the hell I made.

How true is that!  I had made hell in my life and felt in a pretty constant irritable tail-spin for a lot of years.  It feels like it was so unnecessary.  However, it was necessary apparently for me to get here.  I had to go through that stuff and the journey will continue and the lights will keep coming on.  How exciting is that!

Well, yet again, I am completely worn out.  I've been busy with a whole lot of physical labor in getting moved into our new house.  It's so much fun - but since we're here only a short time - it's fast and furious. 

I have so much to be thankful for and I truly am thankful!!
