When things get shaken up

There's more new snow outside my window today, and like much of the rest of the country, we keep setting records for it. Henry described it this morning (he was home with a cold) as looking like tiny mirrors as he gazed out at all it buried.

Since last I wrote we've had countless inches of snow, two birthdays in the family (me and Henry) and Angie graduated from Aveda school one week and started a new job/training program with Juut Salon the next. In the midst of this her car died and mine, though in need of some major repairs (that I only just learned of when taking her in for an alignment), is momentarily her wheels. Small potatoes in the scheme of things, but it's made for an interesting few weeks.

To keep myself centered through those things, and for other reasons of need for comfort and insight when my quiet time has been less than usual, I found myself turning to the beliefs laid out in The Treatise on Unity and really digging into them as the practices they're stated to be.

Since I've recently posted my alternate blog http://pubjournal.blogspot.com to my Amazon page, I decided to share some of what I'm finding there. So just in case you're looking for something too, I thought I'd mention it. I'm just getting started so there's not much to see, but my intention is to share what I'm finding over coming weeks.

Looking for something is such an odd thing. I don't often know what it is I'm looking for when I find myself vaguely entering search mode. Actually, some really cool things have been happening -- odd feelings of switches in direction, surreal moments of dreaminess, shifts in the flow. I don't know about you, but I kind of welcome the disconcerting. When I feel things starting to get shaken up I get excited. I enjoy the feeling of "What the heck is going on?...Now what's happening?"

I can't really trace why these feeling sent me to The Treatise on Unity and those practices, but as near as I can recall it was as if I suddenly remembered they were there!

Since I don't generally talk about my vocation with A Course of Love too specifically on the blogs, this is a new direction in itself. I'm curious about where it will go. And I like being curious too.
