I want to share this with all of you. The article that follows was sent to me by my friend Rhett Lynch, taken from The Daily OM, a spiritual newsletter. The words hold a lot of truth, at least for me. Do not ignore your soul. Whatever it is that your soul needs to feel in-tune, nurtured, and alive do not forget to give it to yourself. Your whole you will deeply appreciate it!
In a world where we have routines for nearly everything-our route to work, our physical fitness regimen, and our weekday schedule-it's amazing how many people forget to create a routine for meeting their spiritual needs. We run around in an attempt to be at our many appointments on time and meet our many obligations. In our efforts to be as productive as possible, however, our spiritual needs tend to take a backseat. After all, taking care of our spiritual needs doesn't directly pay the bills or tone our abdominal muscles. We may even wonder who has time to meditate or write in their journal when there are more pressing matters to see to. The truth is that nurturing ourselves spiritually is what gives us the energy and grounding that we need to make sure that our lives stay on track. How you choose to nurture yourself spiritually is a personal choice. For some people, meditating once a day may be what they need to stay centered. While spending 10-20 minutes with your eyes closed and your brain devoid of thought may seem like a lot of time doing nothing, this state of nothingness actually allows you to stay calm and focused so you can be as productive as possible. Writing in your journal everyday lets you stay in touch with yourself so that you are always tuned in to your feelings. Repeating affirmations for success, happiness, and well-being on a regular basis can help you live with optimism and enthusiasm and create what you want in life. Having a routine for nurturing your spirit that you do each day lets you feed energy to your soul and can serve you well if your life suddenly takes an unexpected turn into a difficult period. This kind of routine grounds your spirit in your body so that you stay anchored in yourself as you move through each day. Nurturing yourself spiritually allows you to not only stay on track in your life, but it allows for your life to stay on track with what your spirit wants.

I am glad that you have had a positive relationship with Rhett Lynch. I also did at one time. However, I sent him $1000.00 for a painting. I have 3 of his works so I did not find this to be an ignorant move on my part. It is almost 4 plus years later and I have not yet received my painting. I do have emails to prove the transaction and the reasons why I have not yet received it. My emails are now ignored. I once had a wonderful friendship with this man and it has turned out to be one of deception. Do not ever pay ahead for a painting to this man...You will never receive anything but excuses. If you have any further questions you can reach me at Karmadell@aol.com.
