Today I venture out into the blogosphere world! Hello out there! Although I desire to have accountability for writing on a regular basis, my main intent for blogging is to openly share life from the perspective of a person deeply embedded in my humanness, but also closely connected with my spiritual guidance and my own spirit. I will share the joys, the frustrations, and everything in between, of navigating life from both a human/earthly and a soul/spiritual perspective. Through my friend Erin's sharing of her experiences with me, I found the courage and comfort to explore, open up to and acknowledge my own spiritual essence. With gratitude and love, I hope to be a like catalyst for many.
As a reminder to myself when needed, I'm including a writing of mine from October 28, 2007.
I realized something today. I remember Allen (my spiritual counselor and mentor) telling me that I should write with my own voice and that every person has their own unique voice. I didn’t get that until today. Before today, I thought that I had to find or discover my voice. But now I know that my unique voice is the topics and ideas that flow through me and from me. I am interested in certain things. Certain topics intrigue me. They just naturally show up - an idea, a thought, an experience, my point of view or perspective. This is my voice.
I also used to feel as if I had to serve up my voice in a way that others would be able to "get." I tried to temper it and edit it in a way that I could only guess would connect with others experiences. I see how limiting that attempt was and is. My experiences have brought me to my unique ideas, and thoughts, and perspective. That is my authentic voice. And that is what I will write about!
It will not be effort or work. It will not feel burdensome or heavy. It will flow through me when it is time.
I choose to be a voice of healing for the collective consciousness. Even if my ideas are far out. Even if many do not get it. I honor that this is my voice. And I am ready to speak it.
Here’s to playing with keys on this keyboard and computer. Let’s dance. Okay? Okay!
It seems that I am finally ready!

Wahoo! You're a blogger!
Jenice, your writings are so rich, I find myself reading them more than once..I just went back to the one on voice and had not thought about one's voice as such and really, really like the thought that it is there and one does not need to find it, but remember it....thank you, Teresa
