We're in the second half of meteorological winter. Welcome to my Spark page...and to SparkPeople, if you're new! Spark mail me for some great tips for beginners that I learned through friends and Spark links when I joined.
I will celebrate my 2nd Sparkversary and feel I have barely begun a new adventure. As Gandalf the Gray says, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."!

We're in the second half of meteorological winter. Welcome to my Spark page...and to SparkPeople, if you're new! Spark mail me for some great tips for beginners that I learned through friends and Spark links when I joined.
I will celebrate my 2nd Sparkversary and feel I have barely begun a new adventure. As Gandalf the Gray says, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."!
A Course in Miracles teaches that this life is an illusion and my body isn't real. Our bodies are to use to learn and communicate to teach other parts of the Sonship of God that, in Spirit we are One. I want the body Spirit uses for that communication to be at its best! That's why I am here on SparkPeople.com
Yes - I can strive successfully for goals at the same time - others are within Toastmasters and ending a 52 y/o old smoking habit. I found this on Spark People: http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/wellne
ss_articles.asp?id=1597 You will have to copy and paste that link if you are moving toward the same goal I am.
I found another quote that may help us all:
"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." Harriet Beecher Stowe
I have more energy when I MOVE and am eating 'correctly!' I am out of 'womens' sizes! It's easier to sit in a restaurant booth or movie theater seat, to walk the dog, to not worry about having to park close to the door I wish to enter at work or shopping...oh, I could go on and on!
All this...and making friends, too! What more could I ask for? Thank you, Chris and Spark team!
A last word of advice: navel oranges are in season!

Read her biography. She was amazing!
My Program:
I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Him who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do, because He who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing
He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.
- A Course in Miracles - Textbook Chapter 2, Part V, verse 18
Personal Information:
I was laid off by the State of Illinois but was called back to work in a public aid office in a gun and gang infested neighborhood at the beginninf of Sep. I reside in Chicago, have 4 grown kids, 4 kids-in-law (not counting partner's kids and their spouses) and 8 grandchildrenwith another on the way! You can also see Suz holding her first grandchild...my step-grand daughter.
I'm in a same sex relationship now for 11 1/2 years. A Course in Miracles has made me realize that Love knows no bounds.
Other Information:
I used to read constantly on personal/spiritual growth. Now I find A Course in Miracles is all I need.
I have one book published. Here is an original quote:
"The answer to 'Where is God?' lies deep within each of us, Therein lies the irony, for where the answer resides, there its subject dwells."
I do still read the occasional best seller, historical fiction (my daughter got me into Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series...time travel historical romance!) and lez fiction.
With SP, I am making my ILLUSIONARY body better. The reality is my Spirit in Heaven.
One Spirit, One Mind, One Life, One God, One Love - One
