Monday's Course in Miracles

My daily spiritual practice includes studying the Course in Miracles. Each Monday I share the lesson of the day or a quote from the text.

Let miracles replace all grievances. ACIM



Spring Miracles

My beloved lilac bush that sits adjacent to my home got pummeled this past winter.  More than six feet of snow landed on it. Plus  the snow that needed to be shoveled off of the roof fell on it.  Many branches snapped and the ones that remained intact arched to the ground with icicles dangling. I was so overwhelmed with the shoveling, the roof raking, and the endless ice dams I pretty much gave up on the lilac bush's survival.



Evidently once again I underestimated the power of  solid roots and the miracles of spring. My lilac bush has never looked more beautiful or smelled more lovely in the years I have been here.



That lilac bush is the perfect metaphor of life. We have all lived through snapped branches, and the piling and piling of life on top of us. People have given up on us and we may have given up on ourselves. Then spring comes and somehow we are more vital, more joyous and stronger both in spite of life's storms and because of life's storms.

Facebook: Fake Book

A dear friend of mine once said "Facebook equals Fake Book."

I deactivated my account a while back.

Many have told me such an action is an entrepreneur's suicide. As an entrepreneur, I beg to differ. My deactivation will not have any effect on my overhead. Most of my clients come to me by word of mouth and by God's power.

I deactivated because I found myself too attached. I was checking my likings and comments numbers way too much.  I was in the process of making facebook into FAKE book. I never wanted that to happen. I never wanted to be what my dear loving friend described.

I never want to be FAKE.

I want to be REAL.

I will go back to facebook. Next time I will be way more authentic.

Until then.....

I am so enjoying the break.

Blessings,
Virginia

I had planned on writing today's blog about The Course of Miracles. However, when I went to dump the compost, this miracle surprised me.
