Spirit Room

Moments that touched our heart – especially those moments we shared with clients; talk about service we do that’s not computer-related, like the volunteering we do in our community; comments on things we experience and things we observe that may be interesting to readers.

Below “See” Level

Cultural diversityAnn-Marie, of Omega Vector, a self-knowledge program for those who wish to lead more effective lives, recently wrote of an experience that left me – and I’m sure others on her mailing list – with a sweet feeling of joy and hope for a unified world. I thought I’d share it with you, and she has graciously given consent to me to reprint her story.

Upon pulling up to a red light, I glanced over to the pedestrians waiting to cross the street.

There were only 2 men. First was a business man, wearing a suit and tie, carrying a brief case. The second was a younger man, baggy pants, backwards baseball cap, carrying a skateboard.

What captured my attention was the fact that they were fully engaged in a conversation. Not the type where you politely say “Hi” and ask how they are, as you wait for the light. They were laughing and speaking with enthusiasm.

I decided to watch to see if they actually knew one another. When the light changed, (more…)

The Gratitude List

 

The Gratitude ListThere’s nothing like writing out a gratitude list to lift your mood, your spirit. But why is that so? Well, I think it’s because we get into the present, the now, and that is the only real place. And, there is where God is. Focusing on what we are thankful for opens our heart and allows even more grace to flow in. It attracts the frequency of grace.

Expressing gratitude on a regular, consistent basis puts one in the flow. Writing a gratitude list each evening (physically or mentally) is a peaceful way to end the day and drift off to Dreamland. And, writing one out in the morning will easily get you out of a funk if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed!

You Are Not Alone!

You Are Not Alone When You Work With The Computer SpiritThe thought “I am not alone” became my mantra about 21 years ago when I finally walked into the rooms of the 12 Step way of life. Up until that time it seemed that I was supposed to do It alone… “It” could be going to the movies – alone. Trying to fix the toilet – alone. Walking with a broken ankle – alone. Fill in the action, any action – alone! Without humans, without Spirit.

But then I learned I had a choice – and people who were only too happy to help and be a part of my daily living. And, I realized that this extended to everything!

So when I started my business revolving around (initially) software training and database design well over ten years ago, (more…)

Room for Spirit

Welcome to Spirit Room!As we see it, life without Spirit lacks color and joy. In our garden, we created a space for Nature – an area we humans do not touch – a refuge for Nature Spirits. We’re doing something similar on this website. We call it Spirit Room.

In Spirit Room we’ll write about moments that touched our heart – especially those moments we shared with clients. Our intention is to capture the magic in those moments and extend it to you.

In Spirit Room you may also read about service we do that’s not computer-related – there is life beyond the keyboard! For example, Rog and I officiate at weddings. We’re also volunteering in interesting ways in our community. And, we’re engaged in several writing projects that we may want to share with you.

We may also share our accomplishments in Spirit Room. And, we plan to comment on things we experience and things we observe that may be interesting to readers.

Spirit Room may look like a catch-all for info we would like to share that doesn’t fit into a neat category.

But our commitment in Spirit Room is to make sure that everything we share here has heart.
