Hello all! I am so excited to finally have started this website. I am no stranger to websites and blogging in general (I actually make my living at it!) but this is the first time I’ll be on a blog devoted purely to my spiritual journey.

I am currently working on my life’s history (under the My Journey So Far) page to flesh out my background a bit. It’s not quite done yet, but I figured there is no time like the present to get this blog officially started!

Anyway, it’s Friday afternoon… after traveling almost every weekend for the past month or so, I’m taking it easy this weekend. Today is pretty open. I may take an afternoon walk and I might go to a recovery meeting tonight. (For those who don’t know, I am part of a 12-step recovery program even though I no longer subscribe to some of their ways of thinking. I go for spiritual support, to experience fellowship with others who have been in my shoes and also assist/help others). I also still need to meditate, do my candle exercise and affirmations. (You can see more on what I do on a daily basis here).

Speaking of affirmations, I decided to go ahead and put one or two at the end of every post. Today’s affirmations are for the throat chakra (an area in myself that I am actively working on healing):

“I live in my truth, I communicate my truth, I am the Truth.”

“I develop will each time I meet a life challenge.”

By the way, I have been advised by spiritual teachers to say affirmations at least 10 times per day and up to 100 times per day. I usually shoot for somewhere in the middle of this, although on days I feel I need more, I’ll do 100.

Happy Friday to all reading this!
