The new building is another story...it is obviously off gassing from all the new carpeting and wood. This past sunday I had to leave due to the woman in front of me, hair products and perfumes. I called the minister this week and told him...he hates strong perfumes, too and offered to bring it up at the next board meeting...perhaps put an announcement in the bulletin to tone down the frags.<BR/>It's a start, anyway. I have a strong spiritual practice without being in the building...but I do enjoy sharing the time with my sisters who attend there...it is the closest family time I have with them. This is a problem that is being faced by all the MCSers in the world....regrettably.<BR/>Thanks for bringing up this topic of spiritual practice and best to you with your blog!Ruth Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09034579244244604810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868552.post-45613627651614695802009-01-08T20:09:00.000-08:002009-01-08T20:09:00.000-08:00Hi, I just found your blog today.

I really like your blog and your links too.<BR/>Have a beautiful evening.<BR/>AnnaAnna's Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03833672780938401092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868552.post-30734517555035491682008-12-22T10:33:00.000-08:002008-12-22T10:33:00.000-08:00I am so happy to see your newest post, and not sur...I am so happy to see your newest post, and not surprised at all that I am commenting after Susie Collins. <BR/><BR/>Spiritual support means everything to me. MCS has been my greatest challenge, and just as the poem you site suggests this challenge has leveled me, flattened me and then I am so much more than I could have imagined.<BR/><BR/>Books and 12-Step (in person) groups were my major source of community for decades ... together they have been my support all my adult life. MCS life today puts print of any kind out of reach for me, and my 12-step programs have become one on one (HP and ME). <BR/><BR/>I have not used the phone support group option, yet. Your decision may inspire me to try it. Thanks so much for your blog, community is spelled so many different ways.<BR/><BR/>MokihanaMokihana Calizarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817711520196161127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868552.post-40569774192574473212008-12-16T21:25:00.000-08:002008-12-16T21:25:00.000-08:00Your blog is looking really nice!

Used at $50. I'll have to save up.<BR/><BR/>I had to give up visiting my favorite Buddhist temple for teachings and retreats. The folks there were so nice and let me sleep in a separate one-room structure with bed and table and all screened in. But eventually I couldn't take the incense and mosquito punk. :-( Sad. I saw the Dalai Lama there and have had many teachings there, too.<BR/><BR/>I hope you can find a few more peeps to join you for meditation.<BR/><BR/>I love Rilke. Rumi, too, has saved my life on more than one occasion.<BR/><BR/>Be well.<BR/><BR/>Aloha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
