Good Medicine

Thank you in several languages in a heart shape | Words, Thankful, Language

Yep, we need a holy day to remember to Give Thanks. Gratitude is more than just a hallmark catchphrase. It’s a way of life; an attitude, a habit that we have to train ourselves to practice so we can build up our appreciation like a muscle. And what I’m finding is that it may actually change the perception of my well-being.

When I’m feeling overwhelmed by the plandemic – all the vicissitudes it has brought to our sense of reality, I take a breath & thank my lucky stars that I can apply Spiritual Science to my heart-thinking. And I remember that this is the ultimate testing ground, where we all agreed to meet. Our ‘truth or dare’ stage where discernment, equanimity, love, reverence/wonder, hope, & the power of peace must come into play.

I know sometimes it feels like we are hell-bent on heading straight into the abyss – it’s all too easy to get discouraged & spiral into the negative, cynical scenarios.

Naming the shadow has its time & place, but if it pulls us too deep into discord or depression, this shrinks our heart-health, bringing more inflammation & a weaker immune system – Eclipsing the veracity of our collective power which we can access with every positive, thanks-giving, visualization.  

Gratitude, dear friends is good medicine for everything that ails us.  It’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Together we set the table for a feast of divine fulfillment.

See you there

My friends & family have often said I should do a podcast. Chuck my beloved husband, bought me a cool microphone cause he likes to hear my POD (Poem Of the Day) read out loud. He told me about a site called Anchor FM, which shares the podcasts on other platforms like Spotify. And so I have taken up this new adventure into the world of the Spoken Word, naming the podcast: ‘I THINK SPEECH‘.

Episode 16: How to Change Your Mind

I am thinking to do the 1st 3 podcasts as a background for our Thought-Seed Project. I have 2 up so far. I end each session with a POD, but Chuck said I should do those 1st thing, so I’ll try that next. The links will be accessible in the right hand column. The 2nd of the series gives the low-down on the idea of a Egregore. Let me know what it’s like to have me ringing in your ears…? xox

Holy Spirit – Art & Theology

POD (Poem Of the Day)

~O offerers of cake & bearers of bounty
let me not starve for love or thirst for wisdom…
let my spirit bee stronger today than it was yesterday,
my heart more peaceful, my mind more fertile, my hands happy with purpose…
may the Goddess touch my face

  1. Wanted to thank you for your blog that I have come to look for each day with anticipation, and also loved your podcasts which I listened to last night. Indeed the spoken word does feel so much more living than print! Your pace and tone and the mood you set was all extremely easy to take in. Your will to do this work truly inspires me, thank you again 🙂
    10:10 in the ethers!

    1. Hi Tanya – Than you so much for the feedback! I never know what the impressions of things will be once they leave my mind & now my mouth 😉
      I must say that the 10:10 has done wonders for my mood & sense of purpose. It feels so enlivening & full of good will, Thanks for being part of the wave!

  2. Just listened to your first podcast, thought experiment, it was great ^^ Will do my own daily contribution in a moment in response. Thank you for regular updates on Zoom events – otherwise it would be hard for me to know, and they’re valuable to me. Plan to Zoom attend Craig Wiggins’ Christmas contemplation, which would be our 9 pm, but I’d best double-check that! Greets & blessings

    1. Thanks for tuning in. It like having a new toy to play with.
      Glad you will be able to join in on some zoom events. It’s a samll world after all
