From Where I Sit


I envisioned my life as an asymmetrical yet curve-y road dotted with picturesque citings, unique in flavor and vision. That is, anyone's rite de passage until the day of my traumatic car accident. yes, i was preoccupied, yet, I clearly saw the road. I wasn't speeding, and I didn't have the top down. The weather was brisk but sunny. The day was the 16th of April 2007, A day when I was driving in my dream car when suddenly my tires swiped the curb on La Vista Road and swerved from the right lane to the left. There was another car headed my way whose driver panicked and hurriedly turned-off. I saw a person walking--looking ahead at eye level freak out as his gaze soared skyward. I saw familiar sites as I veered past. i witnessed as my car preceded to launch itself-- jettisoning as if it were a sort of missile heading for a house framed by two trees. It came to a crashing halt between two trees atop the hill just short of the house. I knew then that I was in the arm's of angels or God, for I had been spared by one who had lifted me and put me down on the hill right-side-up.
Since this brush with death, (and quite before it) I have sought a way to comfort the suffering, elevate peoples' spirits and it has come to me that is the path I have been meant to take to support spiritual growth, comfort and inspire people along the way.
This scenario has a purpose, to bring us together, and share our thoughts, me as a paraplegic with a vision of where this path can take us; perhaps you as a challenged person, either physically, or emotionally torn beset by life's twists and turns, wondering what or where to go next. This is a forum for us.

I encourage you to drop me a line and share your inspirational thoughts and experiences about life, the republic (though not too political please), memories, times with loved ones, treasured thoughts and insights.
Adieu and God bless.

STANDING-UP OR SITTING-DOWN

We are all experiencing so many challenges in our lives right now, almost every aspect of our daily life feels akin to  a "high wire act."


Our spirit is tried in inimitable ways... managing of money or lack of it; transcending hardships in the job market, stalled/sluggish home sales, endless mortgage meltdowns, managing children and elders health and well-being. That it seems--- is merely scratching the surface. How is this all is impinging on our relationships and responsibilities day-to-day? 

Personally I have tried to nourish myself by tending to my own "spiritual garden." It is the center of everything...the very core essential to keep ourselves in balance. Whether it's aerobic exercise to offset stress, yoga to replenish the mind-body connection, cooking a favorite dish to eat with relish, or re-reading a favored book. Most importantly we need to keep saying those daily prayers of gratefulness for what we do have, encouraging and drawing abundance... which is on the way-- and spiritually unlimited.

We have got to pull-out all the stops to offset and compensate for all the energy deficits that daily strife is taking on us all. Don't hesitate, run out and see that movie you've wanted to see, snuggle-up on the couch armed with popcorn and see that classic movie you love, experience joy experimenting with paint, listening to music that feeds your soul, running with your children, on wheels or not.

Surround yourself with these or your very own self-made inspirations and immediately book these treats right into your calendar. Water your own "spiritual garden" one way every day and watch the beauty in your life bloom outstandingly.
