There are times when we need to slow the mind just for a moment in order to catch our breathes and adjust our attitudes. Slowing down to process every event, every morsel of this existence.

I am currently enrolled in the Mind Body Wellness program through SWIHA in Tempe,Az. I had planned to move to Az. at the end of this month. That did not happen. I decided to continue on with my educational plan, long distance. This blog is the result of my enrollment in a Holistic Nutrition class!!! I am amused slightly by this. Sure, I knew what an amazing school this appeared to be, but it is quite a bit more amazing than anticipated.

I would assume that those reading have deep spiritual beliefs of one flavor or another. I can respect that. I have had several "religious" experiences. Feeling that inner truth, that knowing and understanding of the connectedness of all and the connection to something higher is by far the most impacting of all human experiences. Knowing that your higher selves have potential for greatness is still rather unnerving to me. That means I must take greater responsibility in this world for myself, my actions, and also be responsible for assisting others. This is a big journey. Or at least it feels that way.

I realize that this is exactly what I signed up for. I feel as though I have lead weights attached to my soul. It is as though there is something holding me back. There is.......Nutrition and lifestyle....bugger....I have done it again. I will be gritting my teeth, kicking and screaming, but I will learn and implement what I can. I seem to do well with what I have, but I know where the improvements can be made and am just too lazy to change it. Ugh. Time for change?

I can already feel that I have a strong teacher who has gone through these very changes. He is not teaching from a college education with no real world experience. He has lived the transformation. Which means he is going to be be both understanding and a real stickler. I genuinely appreciate that.

I congratulate my fellow students on their decision to walk further down their paths. We are in for one heck of a ride. Hold on tight and get ready to grow!!!
Love and Light,
