This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 14, 2009:
Am I in the right place, with the right person, doing the right thing?
Most of the time, I believe I do. But then sometimes when things are not as easy as I want them to be, I question and I doubt. I know this is part of my learning. After all, I teach my students to trust and to follow signs so why is it so difficult for me to do?
Having to live day by day is the only way yet it is quite unnerving. I guess I am still wrapped up in my upbringing when it was good to have money in the bank, a pension, a job for life... a marriage for life (for the majority). All this is gone. We now have to permanently adapt, change, transform...
I realised recently in my art therapy class that I have not felt I had a secure home for years. This came out in a really funny way as I depicted my family as a family of snails with each one of us with his or her individual house on their back. Was it my own doing? Or the instability of the life around me? Have I now found the peace in me to be ok with everything: not quite but working on it.
Maybe my question is: when I am going to find peace?
I wish I could be more positive but that's how I feel today faced with this question.

good morning, Agnes. I can hear you clearly and even though I am not a Bible worshipper (barely religious), I have read the Bible and four words have always impacted me: “It came to pass …” Many passages in the Bible begin with these four little words of absolute truth: nothing comes to stay. Including us in this form on this earth in this way. We change moment to moment – fortunately, for the most part, in small ways that allow us to continue some semblance of stability. I think you will find/create your peace in yourself when you live in the moment (not the past) and keep your energy focused on what you want (sounds like “security” – lots of us want that!) you will find your source of peace within you. barbara
Hello, my dear. Trust me, you’re not alone! I sometimes get rebellious even, against this path I’m taking. I want to know ‘Why me? Why couldn’t I be blissfully ignorant like so many?’ And in time the answer comes that reminds me that I’d never give up these experiences I have been through for anything else, whatsoever!
I do not believe - I can be corrected - that any person right now could be completely at peace 24 hrs, all day long, when we are affected by energies of other persons so intensely. So that even if we are solid in our own selves, we feel the sorrows and anxieties of others and integrate them, intentionally or not. And let’s be honest, there is A LOT of anxiety and fear floating around out there!
‘It’ not being a tangible/visible thing, we couldn’t quite know just like that how much is affecting us and leaving ‘residue’, for our systems to process later. I have no doubt this is where our own inner discomforts may present… And working directly in the field of energy work, positions us to absorb these things directly, while we learn, ourselves, how to dispose of them. [Even the Dalai Lama has to meditate for 5 hrs a day to maintain his inner harmony!]
It’s speculation right now, but perhaps when the dominant energies in the world are less on fear and more on harmony, we’ll feel a more consistent peacefulness… In the meantime let’s keep each other’s faith up by showing our support of what is great and what is truth. Let’s keep talking and help break the silence which comes with a monopoly of fear to date…
I’m here for you always, as so many are as well.
Love, Sherri
Hi Barbara, Hi Sherri
Thank you both for your support. Yes I agree with both of you: it is here to pass, life is movement… we MUST live in the present moment. And looking into my book of spells today I am reminded that I have a home, I have clothes on my back, I have a partner and wonderful children and I have a dream that I am bringing about into this world. This is so fantastic.
But sometimes, and probably this morning more than ever because of having laboured through the night with three sick children, the dreams end up at the bottom of my socks and I just think: I am a hopeless dreamer. But then friends like you come up and say: of course not. Keep on dreaming. Keep on living.
And yes, Sherri, I think being hypersensitive, I pick up on the fear and negativity that permeates everything around us. To be true my business is now doing better than ever and I feel that all businesses that are heart centered and in service to God and the angels (or the community for those who don’t believe in God and the angels) and that want to give back to the community, will thrive. The others will have to adapt or disappear.
So these are glorious exciting days and I feel much better already having read your posts.
Blessings and amazing things your way

And also I just thought back about something that I was told by my tutor in art therapy recently: You learn most by the questions that raise in your mind, not by the answers you get. Learning is in the search for answers - not from being fed the answers.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm………………………
Maybe that’s the whole meaning of us being on this planet: to look for answers. If we had them already we wouldn’t be here in the first place.
(LOL)
:D I’m smiling too! Just pursuing that train of thought brought me to such profound conclusions! It also got me to thinking that our purpose here is to learn, expand knowledge, and help the Universe grow in the process, perhaps? [Someone said that to me one time, but I wasn’t quite there yet! lol]
Oh, the lessons of life.
Thanks again for posting. I feel such fellowship this morning :)
Love to you. Sherri
Thank you Sherri. I’m glad we share.
