NURTURING YOUR SOUL.............



The soul goes by many different names~~
Hinduism ~ Atman
Jainism ~ Jiva
Sikhism ~ Atma - "roohu"
Christianity ~ Soul
Jewish ~ Soul
Buddhism ~ Anatma - No-self/No Soul
 Just to mention a few: 

"Each person has an ideal, a hope, a dream~which represents the soul.  We must give it the warmth of love, the light of understanding and the essence of encouragement."
Calley Dorr Dom

How do you nurture your soul?

    I love reading the words of our Prophet knowing that the Lord is talking directly to me through their words. My soul needs to be continually watered through reading and listening to the stories of others and their triumphs over dark times.

    I nurture my soul by relishing in the beauty of nature. Even living here in the city, if one seeks, one can find it.

    I nurture my soul through faith, love, compassion, forgiveness and thankfulness for blessings in my life.

    One way is by spending time at my cabin, where I was this last weekend. Being away from the computer, the phone, the TV, enjoying nature, sitting by the creek, reading and reading and reading. Ahhhh, that was great.

    Very nice...we all need to nurture and strengthen our souls I think.
    What does it for me.........MY FAMILY for sure.
    Walks, where I can reflect on life, and "my soul"
    prayer
    concentrating on gratitude

    Beautiful post Jo~ I feel most at peace and like the universe has melted away - leaving no cares at all behind when I am consumed by creativity.

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

" I AM ROOTED....BUT I FLOW". Virginia Woolf

2020..can you believe it?  With each passing year I am more amazed that I am still here.   Both my parent's died very young and if genetics prove correct sometimes one can have the same fate.  Anyway....I digress. At the beginning of each new year I always find myself wondering what this particular year has in store.  With advanced age you can almost always depend on little surprises here and there.  Your life can be bumping along and then suddenly everything changes in the blink of an eye.  Your health changes, your finances change, family troubles, death of loved ones...the list goes on and on. Instead of making any resolutions for this upcoming year....I have promised myself that I will embrace any and all change with thoughtful consideration.  No panic attacks, no jumping into immediate action, no needless worrying about things I cannot control. I know that is a tall order because being human we...
