I’m sure you’ve heard somewhere reading, commercials or seeing it on the Internet, the power of the brain. When I started my spiritual journey, the talk about the brain, and the power of it, made me wonder if somehow my thinking made me sick? Did I give myself multiple sclerosis? The brain is said to have such capacity and we only use 10% of it. I honestly could say I’ve always believed that theory. It is said that 65% of Americans…
I have a very specific schedule in the morning. I wake up I brush my teeth first, feed the dogs as brew my coffee, I pour my coffee, and I work out. Before I pick up my iPad, iPhone or anything else, I pick up my Course in Miracles book. The lesson for the day is always where I begin. I use to meditate right after, but since I got the puppy, that has gone out the window. Instead, I…
It’s 62° in New York today and tomorrow we are getting 3 to 5 inches of snow. By the weekend will be seeing 26°, a possible snowstorm on Tuesday and Wednesday as well as cold temperatures with a high of 40° . But in the 62° weather I’m driving around with my sunroof open my windows lowered and my music blasting. People looking at me as if they’re expecting some 18-year-old kid in the car and they are shocked…
If you have ever read my blog or not, my biggest personal growth this year was reading A Course in Miracles. It’s a book compromised of a reading section, a workbook section and a teachers manuel. I am on the workbook section now which is a lesson a day for 365 days. I start everyday reading the workbook. I’m currently on lesson 181. Like any spiritual path, A Course of Miracles is not a religion, it is a way of…
OK in my case maybe it’s two days. Yesterday I decided it’s time to put the sadness behind me I put my braces in my sneakers, I put my foot in the sneakers, I tied up my sneakers and I walked out the door. I drove with the braces which was a little difficult but maybe it will take more time or maybe I can’t drive with the braces haven’t decided that one yet. I got to my destination and…
The concept of love replacing fear is a major lesson in a course in miracles. It seems easy enough in some parts of my life but it is increasingly harder in other parts. First is my fear over money. I’m always worried about being able to pay me bills. This is one area that my life coach and I have been working on for a while. I’m trying to retrain my thoughts, manifest abundance and think everyday without the fear….
You need to go through the darkness to find the light. We need to suffer or be sad to come out stronger. I needed to hit rock bottom to start my spiritual journey. Let me tell you this journey isn’t a smooth one by any means. You aren’t just trying to change your thought process, you’re learning how to think. I’m forgiving people who never said sorry. I’m looking inside and seeing things I’ve done wrong that are ugly. …
I don’t think there are many people that don’t know the serenity prayer. It hold true to so many beliefs because it holds true to so many things. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. People included. There are so many things in the world just completely outside our control especially other people. I can never control the actions of another no matter how much I want to. With my child I can hope that…
This was going to be a bad post. I was working out this morning and my legs and arms were giving me such issues. The squats were next to impossible. The shoulder press exercises that I use to do with a 15lb weight I started at an 8 lowered to a 6 and finally had to go to a 3lb weight. By the time I was at this point the tears were flowing. I was so frustrated and angry of…
I’m here at the family court house. First time I’ve ever been down here. Thank you to my ex-husband for never making me file anything relating to our divorce agreement. I’m not here for me today. I drove a friend well technically my ex-boyfriend’s mom down here because she asked me for a favor and she doesn’t drive. I’d say this was my good deed of the day but my thoughts have been so impure I can’t even say that….
