This is about my search for meaning in my life and deepening my soul's purpose. I am not willing to settle for a life without passion and meaning. I am in recovery and have been sober since January 1998. My work is in social services and I working with a mentor to develop my intuitive and healing gifts so I can continue this journey and remember why I chose and can fulfill what I came to do in this human experience

Day of Homework-February 8,2011
It is my only "day off"this week,so I spent it reading my chapters and reviewing the material for a quiz on Thursday. I was also working to put my lab together. How do people get through 4 years of this I ask? Anyone who completes University degrees deserves to make more money. It is alot of work to do it and do well! Off to my career counsellor in the morning. Her name is Shanti, and she is a lovely woman. Of course with an Indian/Hindu background. She is a source of knowledge and inspiration for me. The man who sat beside me last week at the Strong Preference workshop was a lovely Indian man named Harold with exactly the same kind of outlook as me. He is excited about starting over and being passionate about his work and life. My sister Linda sent me a link about a Swami in India who has an Ashram, and I love reading his blog. He does workshops and one of them is a Chakra dance party. I love it! I am going to put it on the computer and do it one day very soon. I absolutely love his energy. So tomorrow is Shanti to help me build my resume and review my strong preferences, then I am going to the Opthamologist again to see where this eye of mine is at. I'm still seeing the white crescent shaped flashes of light in my periphial vision, but I think the black floaters might be a bit better. Hard to say, maybe just getting use to them. Then I'm off to my 12 step meeting early-oh yeah I am also an alcoholic I've been in recovery for 13 years now, and we have our monthly business meeting the hour before the regular meeting and I am the group secretary. That was my first introduction to spirituality when I came in the fellowship of my 12 step group. I turned Catholic when I was 17, but I had confused religion and God in the past. That is what I love of what I have researched in the Hindu religion. They are all about love and acceptance. What a beautiful concept!
