Starting your spiritual journey?

I am so excited! I was thinking about the Vision Board (or Treasure Map, or Visual Explorer) I wanted to create. It dawned upon me that instead of going driving around to find old magazines, or worse yet, buy magazines, that I could just take advantage of the free images provided on Google [...]
I was reading from my Foundations Class materials through Creative Living Fellowship when I came upon a revelation about meditation, and by default, about spirituality in general.

I attended a service at my church, Creative Living Fellowship, some months ago where my minister, Rev. Michele Whittington, discussed the eight levels of pain. At the time of this service, I was deep in the throes of a gambling addiction and I could tell that I had reached the lowest levels of pain [...]
I have been frustrated by the incivility I saw in 2009. In one sense, I have been telling myself that this frustration has no place in my new behavior as discussed in my last post – I Release, I Let Go (And Then I Replace It With Something Else). There is nothing I [...]
