I have been a student of A Course In Miracles for 17 years and a spiritual seeker all my life. As long as I am in the world I will be a student and a seeker. During my years of study I have learned that “Forgiveness is the key to happiness.” (ACIM) I believe that we all have a purpose here and that purpose is to be an instrument of peace in the world. In the process of healing our spirits, we will travel in and out of peace and love and joy moment by moment, day by day. Growing more fully into our joy and peace takes practice. Many of us don’t realize that there is another way to be and see in the world. A Course in Miracles teaches that we cannot change the world or others in the world, we can only change our minds about how we see ourselves and others. I don’t teach A Course In Miracles as such although I use my studies in my work as a spiritual teacher. I teach the art of joy and the channel to another way of thinking which I learned from the Course. I have been a spiritual teacher for many years. Word Press is just another avenue for my teaching and for anyone who needs a quiet place to visit and another way to see themselves and the world they live in. Everyone wants love and happiness and peace. And we are all entitled. It’s our gift from God.
NEED TO TALK? Have questions? Want to discuss something in your life that you feel needs healing? Want to heal a relationship? Need help trying to find peace at work? Or peace with no work? I can’t make all that happen for you, only you can do that. But perhaps I can help you find another way to see your self, your life experiences and others in your life so you can open to the healing power within you.

Hello Michael J. So nice to hear from you. A Course In Miracles has been my path for many years and the moment I discovered it nearly 18 years ago, I knew I had come home. It’s premise is simple, but it isn’t easy. For me it is a lifetime of dedication to forgiveness and healing. It has changed me, my writing and my life.
Two great resources for A Course In Miracles is the Foundation for Inner Peace, organizer, Ken Wapnick and The Miracle Distribution Center, organizer, Beverly Hutchinson Mc Neff. You can find both of these organizations online by googling them. The Miracle Distribution Center has a weekly study group meeting that you can purchase on cd. If you choose to join then you are also offered the opportunity to be part of the ongoing listener board which is a wonderful online community of Course students who love and support each other through all of life’s challenges. This group of people is generous and kind and you can learn the Course here in perfect safety at your own pace. We love new comers with their wonderful questions. Or you can just read what the talkers have to say and be a quiet listener as many are.
Two books that helped me understand the Course more fully in the beginning were Ken Wapnick’s Absence from Felicity about the scribes of the Course and Forgiveness and Jesus. Both can be purchased online at the Miracle Distribution Center or the Foundation for Inner Peace. Ken has many of his seminars on cd that are extremely helpful as well.
Bev publishes a quarterly publication entitled the Holy Encounter and Ken has a quarterly publication entitled The Light House. Both are wonderful.
The Course is not affiliated with a church and you can be of any religion or no religion and be a Course student.
If who have any other questions, please feel free to contact me either here or by e-mail at sayit@sendingjoy.com. Peace always, Sharie
