Assessment for the contest

Part of the Next Top Spiritual Author is assessment of another contestant. I enjoyed the book pitch by the author selected for me. Her name is Rev. Cindy Paulos. Here's a link to her book....

I am feeling the love!

I was feeling a bit low and "down and out". But recently my vibration is much higher! I am full of gratitude for all the kind words I see daily in emails and for the support of those around me. Thanks so much! I am happy to say that my 14 year old Daughter is my biggest fan. She is an amazing child! I couldn't do this without her encouragement. It fills me with motivation that this guide is so necessary and wanted. Love and hugs to all!

Keep spreading the word!

The latest numbers came up yesterday on votes for the Next Top Spiritual Author contest. Sacred Schooling is no longer in the top 150. Sigh. Let's get the momentum rolling again. If you find time to just send this blog link to someone, I will be so grateful! Sacred Schooling must be in the top 250 to move to round 2. Thanks again for all the lovely emails and thoughts.

These words hit home today

from Neale Donald Walsch...

On this day of your life I believe God wants you to know...

..that a new world is upon you and all peoples of the earth. A different tomorrow awaits.

Nothing is going to be the way it was before. Not your finances, not your politics, not your work life, not your relationships, not the way you experience your spirituality -- all of it is changing...and going to continue to change.

The only question remaining: Will you be part author of those continuing changes, or merely one who is impacted by them?

This video is so lovely... These are the children of the new humanity!

"Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars"

Isn't that from "Star Search"? I found myself thinking these words a lot lately. Entering a contest is a very emotional experience. Being "judged" is not a welcome event with me. But I suppose I'm not really judged- it's more that support is being directed my way. I feel the support coming. It feels good.

On a different note, I've been thinking about that above quote because of some words I read from Brenda Davies,M.D. book The Seven Healing Chakras....
"So many people who embark on spiritual work forget this [to remain rooted] and come so cut off from their lower chakras that they have an airy fairy feeling around them that not only robs them of the security of their root chakra, leaving them open and vulnerable, but also does untold harm to the whole healing and complementary medicine movement. Beware of those who seem to be floating around on some higher plane. Those who are really in touch spiritually are very human and ordinary, albeit in an extraordinary way."

These words ring true for me because I for a long while I stayed away from jumping in with my idea for this book with both feet because I had a thought that I'd be judged as "airy fairy". Perhaps there are some out there who believe I'm off my rocker. Perhaps there are those who want to endorse my book but are afraid they will be judged as "airy fairy". I believe being a messenger for our new humanity is to finally bring Sacred Schooling and personal spirituality in to the main stream. Just as buying "organic" used to be for the "hippies" and "crunchies", so too will meditation and unlocking energy centers labeled "new age nonsense" also pass.

I highly recommend we all "Keep your feet on the ground [keep a secure root chakra] and keep reaching for the stars [your higher self]".
