Day 3

At last, sitting down to write this. It is the middle of the day and I just now have a few moments to myself to create this entry. No explanation needed except that it is Saturday. The normal routine one usually has is cast aside for a more family based focus. But I am here now.

Yesterday's routine was actually a bit off as well. My husband was home so it definitely required more effort to set aside the time needed for my daily activities. Just as I was settling in for my meditation, the bedroom door opened. But the tempation to abandon the process quickly cast itself aside. I simply moved myself outdoors, closed my eyes and let Spirit surface. I was filled with light, from within and without. This moment always seems to serve as a reminder for me of how big Spirit is, how limitless. I simply sat for a few minutes and allowed this light to be, without expectation for anything more. And it was grand.

The book that I am reading, The Science of Spiritual Marketing, is certainly planting seeds that will one day soon be of great value to me. While I've not come across any thoughts that I do not recognize, it is always nice to see what we already understand intuitively to be true laid out before us in black and white. I also began reading Caroline Myss's Anatomy of the Spirit. Even though I am only in the introduction, I stand in awe at her amazing gift and hope someday to be as much of service as she is.

Let me say, it was most difficult to get to the Body part of my commitment yesterday. It was nearly 10:00 at night before I finally had a moment to tie on my tennis shoes and hit the street. For a second, I foolishly thought that I would be leaving Shy behind. I can certainly say that won't be happening unless she happens to be asleep at the time. And I am rather glad for it. Her presence and conversation and joy can enhance any moment. It was a short stroll as we searched for an new decorations and deliberately made our route so that we could pass the homes that have alreay become familiar. And we talked and smiled and were present with each other on the cool autumn night.

I can feel these activites, these mini sessions, becoming an important part of my day. Carving out a little time for myself and my spirit is certain to be of infinite value. The thought occured to me on last night's walk that perhaps it would be good to create different levels of this challange- 30 minutes for 30 days, 45 minutes for 45 days and 90 minutes for 90 days- so that we can each find the formula that works for us to create a new world. So we shall see, after the first 30 days are complete, where Spirit guides me.

I hope Spirit guides you to your greatness today.
