Writers' Workshop

Yesterday I attended a Writers' Conference and one of the sessions I attended was Spiritual Writing, as that is what I believe I am doing in writing this blog. One of the speakers said that one cannot be a spiritual writer unless one has fully embraced the spiritual journey oneself; one has to have something of value to say and that can happen only if one is intent on their own spiritual development. I agree. I also think that is part of my conscious response to this diagnosis of dementia (and it could be any diagnosis or life challenge). I know that how I respond to this life challenge is integral to my continuing spiritual journey. I know that I am being called upon to stand in truth, love and open to possibililties.
