http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SPIRITUALMEMOIRbeginningsRevLin/ ----------This is my online classroom. Next Small group is coming this fall. Stayed tune for update. Message me if you want to participate. I will be offering Spiritual Journaling in NOVEMBER. (NO COST) November Assignment is now available.

http://journals.aol.com/galleryofpoetry/galleryofpoetry/ ----------This is a blog for creative thoughts;It is a blog for more of my womanly wisdom.(AOL has now shut down all blogs)

The Path has taken me on an interfaith excursion. The Path has given me the courage to continue on and to treat myself and others with compassion. Part of my spiritual exercise is spent on visual prayer journaling. Some time is spent on breathing and meditation in silence. I also, want to add an inspirational spiritual music and creative movement aspect to my practice.

Move away from FEAR move towards LOVE.-------- " The Secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past,not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to LIVE in the PRESENT MOMENT wisely and earnestly." Buddha------- Native American Proverb- "Give Thanks for UNKNOWN BLESSINGS already on their way." His Holiness the DalaiLama,"Compassion seems to be the greatest POWER."

I once, was an anxious fearful woman and the interfaith path has given me the tools to write my stories and to remain centered in service. I enjoy giving spiritual direction, teaching english as a second language, counseling children,and family travels. The next adventure I am investing in will involve acryllic paint and canvas.

Share, understand ,and grow in diversity. Respect all life and create more Peace in the World. Teach and Mentor others to engage in nurturing lovingkindness and compassion.

Thank you so much Lindy! I'll be in touch, unfortunately my school (I am lerning french now) and work have me very bussy, but when ever possible I'll be here. Have a great day! Yuri

Hi MsLindy,

Thank you for your welcome back to the Soulful living community. I went away for a holiday and unfortunately had a very bad cold when I went away which took a while to dissipate. The "in between" of my holiday was very nice, but then contracted Cystitis two days before I came home for which I got antibiotics at home. Some antibiotics (I have come to the conclusion) are like poison to the system. For about a week or so I have had side effects that are awful, headaches, nausea, fever, lethargy etc. I am still trying to get rid of the feeling of nausea and hopefully this will work out of my system eventually. I hope you are well.

Just stopping by to say hello!

Thank you so much for your encouragement , I really , really appreciate your comments - I was surprised when my Goddess appeared out of the canvas - I was slapping on the paint and working it around thinking, as I do, I really don't know what I am doing...('cos I don't) and as it dried part of the features began to emerge so I kept with it and was satisfied with the result. It is really hard to just let go and not be worried about the outcome but it is fascinating to see what is revealed. In my little class we worked together on getting away from the idea that only trained artists can make art  It was amazing for me to observe what these ladies created.  It was a real sharing experience. I see you too, are passionate about creativity - it is soul food to me also and if I can't create regulary I get very down...and eat far too much chocolate.

Dear Flowerlady, Have you started reading a spiritual memoir? I wasn't sure about your reading plans for August, maybe we can read the same book and chat about it after several chapters. Think about a small book discussion. It makes reading so much fun. My list of reading grows and grows.lol take care Kind Regards, Lindy



Hi Lindy ~ I looked for both books you told me about and was disappointed in not finding either one at our local library.  Next time I'm in, I'll have to look under spiritual memoirs to see if I can find any to read there.  The one about Leaving Church appealed to me, because that is exactly what my DH and I did many, many years ago.  We did not leave our beliefs, in fact they are stronger than every, we just left organized religion.  Maybe you have other titles that I could look up at our library.


I read a lot, on different subjects and some fiction also.  This past week I got books on essential oils, Chinese medicine, Aromatherapy and a couple of fiction.

Thank you for your note and I wish you a belated happy birthday.  Hope your day was filled with lots of good things, love, peace and happiness.

Hi Lindy:


Thanks for you comments. What is altered visual journaling? I love to write also. Have been doing it on a daily basis since I was twelve. It is a great way to get to know yourself.

Blessings,

Allia

Lindy,

I am not Cherokee, but I do live in Cherokee country.  I live in a 109 year old house on the banks of the Clinch River in Southwest Virginia. 

"Sister Two Moons" is taken from a phenomena that I get to witness several times a year when the full moon is reflected in perfect mirror image on the pulsing river behind my house.  As above, so below.

That mirrored authenticity is what I desire for my own life, no pretense, no masks, the outer life a perfect reflection of the inner life.

It is nice to meet you.  You profile is helpful in introducing you to me. 

Light-filled steps as you walk,
Sister2Moons

Hi MsLindy_J!

Thank you so much for writing me a message.  You are so right about Eckhart.  I am so thankful that my neice told me about the online classes with Oprah and him.  They helped me soooo much.  I just love Loreena McKennit.  Pandora.com is an online "radio" station.  And last.fm is another good choice.  Take care, Loni

I really liked your photo--it was unusual and interesting, not the usual portrait. Since you're interested in creativity and journaling, and in moving away from fear, you might want to check out my website, www.thespiritualalchemist.com/About, and go to section III for a whole discussion about fear and emotional release and looking at emotions from a whole different point of view.

PS: I'm big on foreign films, too

cheers,

Natalie

Hey MS Lindi_J,

I just wanted to say that it's great to read your favourite quote! Move away from fear and towards love...
...busy learning that one myself.

Have a blessed and serene day!
