As part of my personal Prescription for living a wholly healthy, balanced life, I have been studying A Course In Miracles (ACIM).

Spiritual Athlete,
Yes, that’s what you are, a spiritual athlete. So why the heck would you bolt out of bed and start your day without a warm-up? “But, I’m busy, the world needs me, I have 57 kids and 2 needy husbands and a flock of dogs.” Yeah, yeah, join the club tootsie!

As the New Year approaches, I can’t help but think that I am not the embodiment of who I truly feel I am. Every year I make the same resolution -- to lose weight. Some years it works, but over time the weight always comes back. This year the change must go deeper, it must be a spiritual journey towards embracing my entire self-the shadows and the light.

I'm not sure there is a bigger question than this. It bears repeating: what...is...your relationship to life?
