This thought was inspired to me by reading Doreen Virtues journal on bnet.
Ever since I can remember breathing I was music. I thought I was born to sing…but then life happened and when I was 15 I gave up on my passion, and started down a road of drugs and denial of life.

I recently remembered who I was, and that I had lost my voice so to speak. I had not really sung in many years, every-time I tried I would cry. But then something happened to me that never has happened before, I lost my personal identification out of my wallet…It really just disappeared. I was baffled. But then I got to thinking about it in the way that I often do, I wondered what the message was…I took out a piece of paper and started writing, lost id…lost identity…then it hit me. I had lost myself and my way.
So, I talked with my angels, masters and guides, and they told me that my voice was a gift in many ways. They told me that just by speaking, I could create beautiful music.

It has been a sleepless night again. I have had a few lately. There are many people close to me that are currently very ill or troubled deeply in some way…..I got an email from Beliefnet telling me that I haven’t been active, so here I am. It was timely to get an email to go to a place that touches me and is concerned with things I hold dear. For some reason the common phrase “taking refuge in the Buddha” comes to mind and tonight I take refuge here at Beliefnet.

My Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award entry, The Silence of Trees, is an example of Magic Realism, full of myths and folklore from Ukraine and Eastern Europe….I appreciate the way that myths explain universal truths by way of a story, transforming archetypes into something personal, something recognizable….From a reader’s perspective, I love being able to read stories that show me these different facets of reality. As a writer, I love the challenge of presenting such a potential paradigm shift. That really is magic.

As I sit here to create this journal, this profile, I reflected upon what I wanted my first post to look like and what it should contain. I chose this piece that I had written about the Sound of Silence because that is my absolute favorite way to spend any moment. I like to hear the sound of silence within the walls of my house and within the walls of my heart. This journal will be peaceful, will be filled with love, will be filled with light, and will be filled with silence. At the moment of silence will my inner-most thoughts fill the pages of this space.

I’ve been a volunteer with a national Cairn rescue group for about three years now. It never gets boring and can be a challenge at times. People can be so mean and down right ugly at times to these little dogs that are at their mercy….I can’t help but wonder what kind of person can hurt a little, sweet soul like him in any way. What makes people so cruel to the fur kids in-trusted to us? This is part of rescue that is hard for us and makes us cry when we see the result of the actions of these cruel people. Maybe someday rescue won’t be needed but until then we will be here to pick up these little souls and make them whole again.
