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 357 - Lesson 356

Sickness is but another name for sin.  Healing is but another name for God.  The miracle is thus a call to Him.

I thanked God all day today.  I had the whole day off and it was filled with all things wonderful.  I got my daughter's room ready for her arrival home.  I baked and everything I baked was something that I hadn't ever tried before.  Some things turned out well, while others weren't the greatest.  I picked up two special girls at the airport today and watched my grandsons complete fascination and joy at watching the planes land.  We had wonderful family time today.  My special guy and I took a walk with our beagle.  The walk started our picture-perfect, but on our way back a blizzard struck.  And it was a doozy!  There were plenty of parts of my day that I could have been disappointed or frustrated, but there was just no reason to look at anything that way.  It was a beautiful day, filled with joy and laughter and love.  Lots and lots of miracles to be thankful for!
