Bio
A simple song, a little story of everyday metaphysics...for anyone who likes the tune! I am a mind-body-spirit writer and energy healer! I love bringing joy to people! And when we remember to see ourselves for who we really are--our Spirit, our essence, which always, always comes from Divine Love--joy is the most natural feeling in the world! *** My little book, Along the Winding Path: A Little Personal Journey, is available on Amazon.com! It's a tale of traveling the spiritual path in today's world, and it's written with healing energy in mind! Part myth, part meditation, this story wants to bring us to a place of peace and joy in life!

Loving How an Idea Becomes a Movement!

Rate: 8 Flag
As we notice that we ourselves are dealing with change on a daily basis—whether in our homes, our jobs, or our relationships—we may also be unsettled by the larger change that is sweeping across our nation and our world. Change is a good thing, we’ve all heard, because it’s a part of our evolutionary process, our movement to something new and better.

But for this change to feel good, and for it to be markedly noticeable as a positive, we have to move towards something specific, in a specific direction, for support for the change to take hold. As individuals become aware of the positive that comes from change, that awareness will gain momentum and become a movement of the whole, of the collective.

What thought processes, what new ideas would we like to bring to the forefront of our lives as individuals? How can we improve our own personal lives in a way that integrates positively with society?

We benefit when we begin to ask ourselves these questions. And when the momentum of these shifts in thinking brings a positive effect to more and more people, an idea becomes a movement!


And so, given where we stand today, in our own lives and as a whole, as a human population, which direction do we want to move in? What elements make our lives most enjoyable, most comfortable to live, most abundant in every way? How does every part of Life, internal and external, in our own personal space and integrated with others, grow exponentially in Beauty and Peace when it focuses on Love?

What happens when we consciously decide to infuse every part of Life, every particle of our Being, with the Divine Love from which we all come? Isn’t it enticing to think of acknowledging the Divine spark of Light that illuminates us from within, that calls upon our innate Knowing of our true essence, our natural Divinity?

What happens, shouldn’t we ask, when this priceless aspect within each of us is the main basis for all of our thoughts and actions, for the very way we Live among others?


I, for one, Love the idea of basing all of my Life upon this Knowing of Love! When we start with finding our own innate value in our Being, the value that comes from our Creator, our Divine Source, and not an arbitrary, assigned value from anyone outside of ourselves, we become radiant and sparkling from within!

When we maintain this inner radiance by tending to it, by Loving it without interference from any distractions in our external world, then we can also learn the Truth of the Divine essence of everyone who Lives here on this planet with us!

We then Love the Divine not just in people around us or like us, and not just in people who are in agreement with our convictions—but in everyone everywhere around the globe! Once we Live in this eternal Truth of the Divine value of everyone, all of our interactions will necessarily be based in that same Divine Love!


I, for one, cherish the idea of Love and the Knowing of the Divine within everyone! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if so many of us decide to Live by Love and to nurture this idea that it becomes the movement that re-creates and refines, polishes and uplifts this world we Live in?

I am working on it myself, as I know so many of us are in our own ways! I invite you to join us openly if you wish!


Loving the idea of the movement of Divine Love!

Yes, thank you Julie! "What happens, shouldn’t we ask, when this priceless aspect within each of us is the main basis for all of our thoughts and actions, for the very way we Live among others?"

Yes, this is the movement. We are priceless and it should be the basis for my life among others. This is a movement I can dance joyfully in.
Another beautiful piece of writing. thank you. I think the change we are seeing is GLOBAL. We are coming together as a planet and if we are going to survive we need to love and share with each other. Cut throat survival has no place in this new age. Compassion is the key within ourselves and toward others.
Trying, Julie, trying! I believe that the path to a better world lies in all of our individual decisions.
Hmmm. Trying to rate, too. Back later when the thumb is working.
Love does evoke making some changes. Sometimes, those changes leave us to ponder whether or not we are making those changes for ourselves or for others.
Julie this is a great look into how we all need to rely on ourselves first to seek who we are so that others can enjoy this divine being in each and everyone of us.

Beautifully said.
Love is the ultimate redeemer.
L'Heure -- Lovely to have you dancing with us, of course!!

Zanelle -- It is Global, for sure -- and it starts within each of us!! Thanks for Being here!!

Pilgrim -- It's true, and the world's a better place with Lovely You in it!!

MJ -- Beautifully said by you, as well!!

Dr. Spin -- Ah yes, and it's a wonderful place to Be!!

All -- We are nothing if not a network, of everyone and everything everywhere, and what a wonderful piece of that we create here!! Thank you from my heart!!
You make me regret never having studied metaphysics in school. Your posts--and eventual book--will happily do, Julie.
Ah, sweet, Leon!! And it's true -- I Love the immersion of it, ya know?! I never tire of it...
As always, you are a breath of fresh air. _r
Hi, Christine! Thanks -- and glad you're here!!
Your Rate box is still nonworking.
Julie, it is so true so true and once you make that decision you do get tested from time to time. However each time you get tested it gets easier to see and easier to not fall into temptation of mistrust.

I think the universal law holds true: You attract what you put out. I surely want love all around me. Sometimes the opposite tries to take hold but it's just because it needs love too!

From lover in love with love to another I say amen!
Thanks, Anne! Always Lovely to have your words -- and wisdom, and heart -- here!!

Thanks, JD!! Such good company here -- all of us, don't ya think??!! Great to see ya!!
But for this change to feel good, and for it to be markedly noticeable as a positive, we have to move towards something specific, in a specific direction, for support for the change to take hold.

This is wise. A friend encouraged me to focus on just this fact this week and it is helpful! Very sound suggestion, Juli!

xoxoxoxo Have a Lovely Saturday. Looks to be warming up here in Michigan. Yesterday was freezing.
Thanks, Patty! And it's true -- it does help! (We are focusers by nature, so using that skill turns things on, so to speak!) Lovely weekend to you, too! I hope things are warming up everywhere!!
We're all in it together. We have to just keep spreading the love ...
It's so true, Scarlett -- and I know you're a part of it! Thanks for being here, and for being you!
Yes, a movement is made up of individuals who one by one by one come to a common commitment.

And how do they come to that place? By hearing it one by one by one from others. Keep speaking your commitments, it makes a difference.
Hi, David! Yes, the whole is always about each of us! (And vice versa!) And we always find each other, don't we?! Love to you as you spread the Love, Julie
Hi, Jali -- Ah, the subject of the person you cannot reach with your positivity is actually a big subject. And I've learned (more than once) personally that what should be true actually is. The spectrum of energies is real, and wherever we each stand on it is as disparate as the spectrum itself... When we are too far apart from each other in the range of energies, we literally "cannot hear" one another. In simpler terms, we don't relate -- but it's actually more substantive than that.

Very disparate energies will actually grate on each other, cause pain, in the way that the frequencies do not match up. And that pain can be felt in both directions. So much more is involved, too -- free will, the conscious and otherwise choosing to be where we are, a larger arc to our lives and our purpose that we can't really know apart from our own...

The best we can do is send Love to everyone and anyone so it's there when any of us decide, and become able, to access it. And know in your heart that if it's not you -- or me, or someone specific -- who can reach someone, there's always a someone else who can. (And that someone will be in the energy-range of the person we'd like to give help.)

As I said, it's truly, truly a big subject. And a lifetime's worth of stories of joy or pain or regret can come from it... But it's a question that's always worth asking, and always worth finding a way to address even better -- to me!
