Well after several months of encouragement, I am finally starting a blog. I am hoping to post some reflections a couple times a week. They will consist of my life here at Mount St. Scholastica as well as prayers and reflections that I come across that I think people may find interesting. Feel free to comment on any of the posts.
I wanted to start my posts with a poem that has spoken to my heart for a long time. A good friend even had it printed on a t shirt for me as a gift for my final vows. I offer it to you today as my wish and prayer for you.
May you recognize in your life the presence, power and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are never alone, that your soul in its brightness and belonging connects you intimately with the rhythm of the universe.
May you have respect for your own individuality and difference.
May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique, that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the facade of your life there is something beautiful, good, and eternal happening.
May you learn to see yourself with the same delight, pride, and expectation with which God sees you in every moment.
John O'Donohue
May your day be filled with peace.

Good job on getting it started. I like the poem. Good luck writing in it, sometimes I feel like I don't have enough to say.
Welcome to the world of blogging! I hope you find this as mindopening and heartwidening as I do!--Darleen (a.k.a. Searching Soul at http://searchingeveryday.blogspot.com/
