The Spiritual Novice

Hello,
I am so excited to share my new website with you.
SpiritualNovice.com

I would love for everyone to take a look. It was designed by Susan Friesen of eVision Media who I met here at BraveHeartWomen. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

This is the time to remember the Goddess with her arms open wide waiting to help, to comfort, and to give strength for your journey.

She is the mother who gives counsel, advice, and encouragement. She waits for us to notice that she sends us love even when we are unaware. In times of difficulty it is important to look for her more and more in our every day experiences. We will be heartened and regain our determination to forge ahead no matter the pain or the difficulty.

Listen for her message as she sends it through the wind as it wrestles the trees. See her love when we look upon the twinkle of a star. Feel her love in the warmth of the sun, and the gentleness of the rain. She is always with us.

Look past the earthly bonds, those things that keep you tethered to old ways of experiencing the life journey. Become the being who knows the truth of who you are: a being of the light. When you look to the inner knowing self and see the journey as the joyous gift it is, the earthly concerns and desires will begin to fall away. The journey will always continue. You simply need to realize that the journey is everything. For when you find this acceptance, all that you experience is put into context. The journey is no longer work or something to be gotten through, but rather an exciting experience to be enjoyed. Since there will always be a journey, one can let go of each individual experience and instead see the bigger picture. The journey does not end. Your understanding of the journey, as you be more aware, will change. The journey is meant to be fun, to bring laughter, to bring learning, and to shower you in love.

Approach each day knowing it is part of the journey that is meant to provide you with a new experience, not just another day that focuses on work, family, and life issues. Instead, approach each day with your focus on the joy of the journey. With practice you will be able to let go of the daily clutter, worries and concerns and instead see only a joyous day ahead of you. Does that mean that difficulties will not arise during your day? It does not. Your attitude and focus however will see daily tasks, events in a much broader way. You are able to remove a part of yourself, and understand how this experience joins many others on your journey.

How does one find inspiration when it is not readily apparent in your daily life? Inspiration does not hide from you, but rather it stands patiently by your side waiting for you to notice that inspiration can be called upon at any moment. You must direct your attention to inspiration if you want to draw upon the many gifts it will provide you. It sometimes helps to look at inspiration in a slightly different way. Inspiration is not only for those big, profound moments in your life, but also for those daily routine tasks. Do not simply go through your day, mindless of what you are really doing, but instead, look to inspiration and ask how might I do this differently? Inspiration has the ability to change feelings of boredom into feelings of joy and fulfillment.

Inspiration is the key to focusing on what you create, and how successful you will be in creating. You should think of inspiration as a tool that allows you the freedom to paint and color in your life with the objects and experiences that will be bring you learning and help you gain wisdom. Creation needs a spark to get it started, for without inspiration you would never look to how things could be different in your life. You should seek to nurture inspiration so that it is always with you, giving you that little push to take on new and different things and look in different directions. Inspiration is the impetus for all that is created throughout the universe.

Hello my sisters. I'm excited about joining this wonderful community. I have written a spiritual book titled Spiritual Novice that I hope to have out soon. As part of my marketing strategy I have started a blog. I would love help and advice on making this endeavor successful

I travel all the time, and move from client site to client site. This gives me the descriptor of "road warrior" which is predominately a male designation. I am often the token woman in the first class security line. With all this travel it is difficult to develop close relationships or make friends. This in turn has made it more difficult to spread the word.

Because my blog is about spiritual issues it is difficult to advertise through my company or with my clients. I would love to hear all your ideas that would help me get the word out.

My sincere thanks!
