Hello Gentle People,
Welcome to the first entry in my blog. I joined the Gaia Community today. This seems like a wonderful online community. Two of my favorite activities are writing poems and inspiring people. As a seminarian, I have starting writing inspirational sermons. As an educator, I love to share and teach. So stop back again to my blog and see if you will learn something or be inspired.
Did you know that "spiritual practices" can include all kinds of things? Since I welcomed you in the title of this first blog entry, let's think about the practice of welcoming. We can welcome the things we've intentionally co-created in our lives, and we can welcome the unexpected. Perhaps we can set aside a day or a weekend or a week and practice welcoming everyone and everything around us. (And yes, that includes the folks who cut us off while driving, and the ones in the express check-out lane with 30 items. <grin>)
Blessings,
Patricia

welcome, you'll find a very warm community here, people with all sorts of backgrounds and interests. part of the fun is finding all those with like-minds, but in the process you'll learn about things that you had no interest in previously. it's a mental experience.
enjoy
Welcome Patricia,
I love the idea of making welcoming a spiritual practice. When I lived on Kauai one of the welcoming things local drivers would so often do is “welcome” other drivers into the flow of traffic. I loved that practice. This is called Aloha spirit.
I'm looking forward to more of your blogs.
