Spiritual Endeavor

This week has been very interesting and humbling. I am still looking for work, income, or a way to make money from my poetry or creative endeavors. Sold my car to a very wonderful family in Jersey City. I even hope to continue a friendship with these very interesting people. Got great tips about traveling to India and Japan from my Hyundai’s new adopted family.

Tuesday evening my roommate Jeanette and myself had a major storm and lost power for about 3 days. We had some food spoilage but overall we faired well. Candlelight and peace from the computer was nice. Heat was something to contend with but really nothing tragic in the grand scheme of things. Friends offered help and/or words of encouragement. Finished 2 books and almost done my 3rd one.

My humility comes from asking for help from many sources including God. Not that I was asking God to save my hot dogs but for me to find my own peace about my current life challenges. Many things happen to many people that include financial worry and lack of electricity. The book that I raved about in my last post, I still can’t say enough about Left To Tell. It reminds me of prayer and gratitude. The genocide that is happening now in Darfur. And awakening to my own American entitlement and spoiled nature. I used to think because of my past that I was humble. I couldn’t have been more wrong. I was and still am blessed beyond measure for living in the U.S. even with it’s faults. I am blessed that my cross(es) that I bare have been to say the least minimal or blown out of sorts by my own negative thinking or lack of self confidence. Positive thinking and faith are keys to success my friends. I am also in awe this week by those who really do have strong faith and an ability to forgive and love freely at all costs or all rewards depending on your perspective.

I pray this feeling of humility and personal/spiritual power continues.

I would love if you would speak about your own blessings in your life. Please share! I love to hear good news!

Hugs,
