I have decided to host a blog carnival with the subject title:  An Inspiration!

Entries should contain works of inspiring content:  non-fiction, fiction, & poetry.  What motivates you?  Where do you find your inspiration to do the things you do?  What inspires you to do better?  Let’s give our readers some different perspectives with creativity!

Deadline is December 15, 2009  12pm PST.

To enter the carnival, please email me here with your submission!

I’ve just created a facebook group called Pacific Northwest Spirituality.  I’ve designed this group with the intention of giving service providers and seekers of spirituality a place to connect.

I have a further vision with this group!  I feel that having a gathering for people who are service providers with area seekers of service would be priceless!

So please, take a moment to check out this humble little group, (with just me as a member for the time being), here:  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=162403631923

Let’s grow it together!

Spiritual Writing Contest

This contest is open to anyone 18 years of age or older.  I am the host of this contest.  I am opening up my publishing skills to help us all share our experiences and Personal Revelations!

This should be EXCITING!!!

Do you ever sit and contemplate the meaning of your life?

Do you ever lay on the beach, stare at the ocean and wonder where vastness originated?

Do you ever gaze at people around you and ask yourself if they know the secret to happiness?

What if there is no meaning to life?  I know, I know…. religious zealots will sacrifice their first borns to tell you what they believe to be the meaning of life, theirs, yours, and everyone else’s.  Monks will silently hummm to what they believe is the meaning of life.

I know and have known many people who have spent their entire lives waiting….. waiting for the right job to give them happiness, the right spouse, the right apartment, the right location…. as if happiness was dependent upon some invisible and unattainable threads of access that only *special* people who sell Amway can use.

I know and have known many people who think other people have the answers.  These people wait for something invisible and incredible to creep into them at night, and make them special.  They will pay any price to feel special, look special, BE special.

What if…..
What if all you ever had or will have is right in front of you?
What if all you ever wanted or wanted to be is right in front of you for the taking?
What if the bills that you claim keep you from your joy are just excuses because you are scared to really live?
What if the excuses you give yourself to stay in the box of your existance fell away?

What would you be left with?

You.

You are all you’ve got.
You are all you’ve ever needed.
You are it.  It’s just you and YOU.

Nothing really stands in the way of your happiness….. except you.
Let’s get real…. right here….. right now.

If you want to die, then die.  Stop giving yourself excuses for not living.  At least have the courage, the guts, the cahonies to stand up to your inner self and admit that you don’t really want to live.  You’d really rather not be responsible and eat your chocolate in bed…. or smoke your pipe….. or drink that wine….. or watch tv….. or cry and whine to everyone who will listen to how you are the biggest victim and take your pills.

If you want to live, then stand your ass up and do it.  Eat like you want to live.  Talk like you want to live.  Act like you want to live.  LIVE like you are ALIVE.

I’ll tell ya…. every life coach, every spiritual guidance person is thinking it and won’t say it.  GET YOUR ASS UP!  Plug IN to life and stop the whining!

If you don’t want to live, thats ok.  That’s right…. I said that’s ok.  Then you are at least being honest with yourself and that is the only place you can begin….. with honesty.

After all,  This Is Your Life.
Ya just might as well live it.
There really isn’t anything to lose…. we are all leaving life eventually.

A friend of mine who is house hunting in the Bellingham area of Washington State was perusing through homes to purchase and found an incredible photo!

This picture just speaks for itself and I encourage you Strongly to look at it.  I am unsure if the realtor is even aware of what this is a picture of.

The link to the site is here.  (They have taken down the information and the photo is no longer available.  Since they have removed the photo, I will do my best to describe it.)

It is a picture of 3 doorways in an empty living room area.  In the right center of the hardwood floor, is the brightest outlined figure of an angel kneeling, looking as if praying.  All shadows are cast in such a way that makes this photograph only explainable by a separate source of the brightest light you can imagine.

Many people who saw the picture completely overlooked the bright light because it is SO bright it makes it difficult to see!  (Even though it is completely obvious!)

This figure casts a reflection onto the hardwood floor as well as ceiling above.  When I pixelated the photo, you can see the energy source and the perfect outline of a person’s profile (I think angel), and you can see the wing go above the head, and the head being held in the palms of the figure’s hands (as if in prayer or contemplation).

I am going to email the agent today and ask for permission to publish the photo here.  But I’m almost sure that some other paying publication has beat me to it.

The house is only $239,000.  If I had the extra dough, I’d buy it in a heartbeat!  Wow.  That’s the only word I have.
