Join Me On The Journey

Here it is.....time......time to write my first message on my new blog. For several days now, I've been sitting.....anxiety ridden over sending it out.

I committed myself to this path months ago.....(Note: Autumn photo......Spring outside)

This delay is causing me to think about the anxiety that can come from committing myself to a certain path and then facing what that path has put in front of me.....in this case.....an empty page. It's causing me to think about the sacredness of saying "yes" to something and not knowing what lies ahead. That's the way I feel today. I've said yes to this journey and I feel both angst and excitement at what lies ahead on the journey of blogging.

Recently I was leading a Sacred Journey retreat in Connecticut. To those 37 women I said "our journeys are not necessarily about spending a lot of effort acquiring something that we don't have. They are often about becoming aware of and appreciating what we already do have." Thomas Merton, a great Catholic mystic, wrote about the breakthrough to the already - "a coming to be in touch with that which is resident in our present situation and in becoming more aware of that, we come into greater and greater potency in our lives".

I'm looking forward to coming into greater and greater potency in my life and sharing more with one another about our sacred journeys. Let me hear from you.
