Dear World,
good morning!
Boy, what a busy week it has been, I am glad to finally be home for a while! After travelling to Wash. DC, and then Miami, I came home for a couple days and then went to Albuquerque, NM. I went to a wonderful conference put on by the Center for Action and Contemplation, on Following the Mystics and Contemplative Prayer. All major doctines utilize facets of this – with different language for defining it.
As a child of the ’60′s, I have never found the need to define my spiritual relationship with the God of my understanding, but a good friend of mine is a chaplain, and we enjoyed the conference together.
But I am so glad to be home! I want to finish my little meditation book, and I want to get TLC’s supportive text message program up and running. Along with a kajillion other projects.
One thing that did come out of this weekend’s conference, was a deep acknowledgment of how my focus on healing from trich and picking has deeply enriched my spiritual life. More on that later!
The other thing that was interesting about this recent trip, was how bad the weather was. I got stuck in two airports for hours, and in the air the turbulence was really bad at various points. As a woman who spent about 15 years hating flying due to panic attacks in the air, to now experience only minor and fleeting flying discomfort is for me – a miracle!
No pulling, no picking, and now no flying panic attacks. All I can say is I am deeply grateful for being on this path. It is not an easy one, but my life is better in so many ways that I could never have even conceived of years ago!
Okay, I’m at work so need to get busy, but I will write again soon.
Love to you as you read these words.
Christina
