I have this list where I can see it everyday upon waking,
and every evening upon retiring.
I read it over and over again and sometimes meditate on
just one thing in the list.
You can try this, too. I assure you that it will help you
till your inner Earth and help prepare you to further your inward
journey.
Another great way to plant seeds in our own
Spiritual Gardens is to give our thanks...our blessings...our
gratitude. Spirit LOVES to hear "Thank you."
And, so do we. While raking your gardens and
prepping the soil, take time for gratitude.
Thank you Spirit for everything I have had, I do have and I
will have. And, thank you for being in my daily
life.
For with you, everything grows!

My loved one asks,
Where did you go?"
To that
question…I do not know!
A place of warmth,
colors and stones,
A simple reminder,
we're never alone.
Where music plays
sweetly, the vibration so unique,
As if to say,"I
have what you seek."
While browsing, no
soaring amongst the shelves,
Along comes this
knowing--- I've come for myself.
The sensation is
familiar, a place that I know!
But where is it
really…
Where did I
go?
A smell all around
me, yet what does it yield?
I'm rolling and
laughing in lavender fields.
Wait! Just a
minute. It will come to
me soon!
Ah, but, of
course. I went to the
Back Door to the
Moon.
Thank you,
Jenn. This really captures the Spirit of Back Door!
