 Do You Get Enough Positive Energyby Susan Thom(39) There are so many ways we can get positive energy absorbed into our being. Stepping outside opens up a whole new atmosphere, smell, and feel. I think nature is the soother of all souls. All the worries that have I been bringing with me, have drained me and dragged me down. Inspiration is the best thing for that! I am inspired to changing different things in the house so it feels warm and cozy. I am inspired by the change in the leaves. Beautiful colors that only a Higher Power could create. I choose to call Him God. The mountains, so majestic. Watching over us and probably not too happy they were blasted. A waterfall in the middle of huge rocks. For me, experiencing all this makes me...

 When the Truth Hurtsby Avis Ward(36) To listen to the morning, mid-day, or evening news and other times not mentioned, isn't something I do with any regularity. I'm a scanner.

One’s Spirit Is Personal by Susan Thom(39) When feeling ill, such as with the flu, we can describe our symptoms to someone else. They can relate, and we work though it. We all suffer from one ailment or another. We deal with pain. We can commiserate about our bad hips or our deteriorating knees, or our depression. What about diseases like cancer and Muscular Dystrophy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, people paralyzed in their own bodies? We pray, we take medication, and we try to live better lives. When someone goes through a spiritual awakening, it is personal. No one could understand through words what it’s like for you to feel your soul hurt. I’ve always thought of my soul being right in the middle... (continue reading) |
