The Healing Power of Writing

Hi! Welcome to the Joy of Miracles.

To write is to uncover, to unhide, to bring to light, and express what is within. To share is the end of all private thoughts, all shame, all guilt, all pain and separation. Here is all Joy found at last! Writing helps us to repeat, focus, choose, and remember ideas. The purpose of this writing is healing for all of us.

This blog is inspired by "A Course in Miracles"and The Work of Byron Katie. You are invited to share your comments by clicking on the word "comment" at the end of each post. If you scroll way down there's a little info about me and also an archive of past writing you can view by clicking on the title. Thanks so much for visiting...

honesty

honesty 
light
consistency
unhiddenness

is the answer to everything


our only problem is trying to(illusion of) hide thoughts

keeping some thoughts separate

from ourself, thus others


we judged them so quickly we weren't really aware of it

and tried to bury them/push them away


and so we FEEL deep in us tension
pressure
constant effort to keep 
these thoughts away from our awareness

to keep them hidden



we keep trying to prove 

our innocence
our worth
our value

to ourselves/the world


but at the same time
our hidden separate thought is attacking our innocence
we do constant battle to defend our self worth

through our special
"love"
job
money
career
service 
sacrifice
family
endless skills
education
friends
vacations
hobbies
clothes
make up
Christmas presents.....
moving up the ladder
becoming more spiritual
getting more of anything and everything
adding on and on and on
making list after list because none of it has ever worked for long.....
trying to be enough of something
trying everything under the sun!


all in an effort 
not to look at
one deeply buried thought of fear


today we do not ask for more of anything
instead we let everything we have ever valued go

we were wrong about everything



today we are silent
we are empty
we are open




peace

About Me

My photo
I have been a student of A Course in Miracles since 1986. It has helped me tremendously to be a happier person by helping me change my perception of everything. I have found writing to be very helpful in the process of practicing, experiencing, and living the ideas in the Course. In 2006 I started sharing inspiration from the Course with a friend. Now it is a joy to share it with everyone. In 2009, The Work of Byron Katie found me at a woman's group. The Work is a way to identify and question your stressfuI beliefs. I dove right in and in April 2013 became a Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie. I work with people privately and offer online classes. Please visit www.joyofthework.com for more information. I also still occasionally lead the 11am Sunday Gathering at the Rocky Mountain Miracles Center in Denver.
