Hello

I'm 18 yrs old. Currently doing a BA of Arts/Health Sciences and futilely trying to find a paid job to cover my living expenses. When I graduate I hope to work in maybe community health or an aid organization (perhaps World Food Programme?)

In my spare time I practice (translation: painfully try to drag my ass off the couch to do) Chinese martial arts. My background is in Wing Chun but I like to pick up bits and pieces of other things on the way. I guess that's kinda how I got into Zen.

Peace.

Peace and blessing to all the beautiful people here, I'm Janey and am grateful to have found this group (through my new awesome friend Amin!)

I am very grounded in my religion yet/and am open to sharing spirituality and transcending borders with others!  This seems to be the right medium to explore and share that for now. 

Love and light and joy and all the endless other positive blessings and commandments~  Janey

^{Hi and welcome  to all new members! I'm sorry I have been scarce of late, but I am working hard on some final editing for my CD.  I don't dare  break this creative flow right now! LOL  Getting sidetracked is wayyyyyyy too easy for me!  As most of you know, I haven't had much creative inspiration lately!  No muses I guess! Ha! But seems things are once again flowing and I know myself well enough to not get sidetracked and disturb this flow!  LOL My bad!  I'll see all of you soon and to those of you who I haven't had the pleasure of meeting & welcoming to the group, I look forward to getting to know all of you in the near future!  Peace, Love, Light & Music 2 all!!   Sending  much love 2 u...and koo koo kee choo!}

I have been a member for a little while....I am not sure how I missed saying "Hello"

So, here I am   saying "Hello" to everyone and hoping to hang out for a while to get to know everyone.

I am a mother/wife/grandmother.....I married my HS sweetie and we are still best friends.  I am also an author/poet, and an ordained minister of positive thought & inspiration.  My book of poetry  "Heart Of Joy" will be released in 2-4wks.....shew....getting nervous again....

I'll catch everyone later....

Have a good one!!

Thank you Amin;  happy and sucessful travels for you.

      LOL Amin!!!       

 [ send green star]

U entered the group perfectly! From where you are!

 [ send green star]

I wasn't invited, I just kind of "followed" a friend here (I won't mention any names).  As I started reading many of the various post's, I felt overcome with an openess, and a desire to become member #70. 

There is so much depth here...I have as much depth, as I do humor (and those who know me are aware of how humorous I can be)!  But I seriously yearn for a place of peace, comfort, spirituality, and connectedness. 

Light & Love,

Tina B.

break ups can b quite painful.. hope u find the positive energy needed for healing among us.. breakups often provide us with the opportunity to work on ourselves.. Zen stories and teachings hold infinte wisdom

 [ send green star]

That is so kind of you to share with us!!!  I will follow your lead and I will leave a brief introduction, but later when after I finish up working for the day!!!   Shhhh....

i dont usually introduce myself in groups, we get to kno each other thro our communications and interacting with each other but it feels different here..

Amin, 32yrs old, egyptian, medical doctor. have been living in cairo for a number of yrs now but moving to beirut, Lebanon in 10 days to start on a journey i'm hoping would lead me to my lifelong dream of work in international large-scale aid projects in developing countries. yes, i dream of someday doing my part in helping in famine stricken areas, disaster relief, war torn areas.. u get the picture

my interest in spirituality started very early. my life revolved around animals and nature ever since i was a baby. any where my parents took me, a baby in his cot, i'd b swamped by cats and dogs. animals' interest in me grow with my interest in them and they taught me a lot on how to live at one with nature and the world.

traveled and more importantly, observed the world extensively ever since i was 5. with a lot of reading, observing, interacting, experimenting, and a lot of work from the inside..  that's me today..

Welcome all new members!!!  So very glad you are here with us! Please feel free to introduce yourselves!
