My Sacred Life Project

I thought it might be helpful to post a simple entry explaining the My Sacred Life project, since it's sort of buried in the first post I mentioned it way at the bottom of a long -- good, but long -- post. And, since there are a bunch of us doing this (YAY!) and linking to my blog, this is probably the best, clearest and most most succinct post to link to.

So without further ado...

The My Sacred Life Project
Beginning August 18, every day for at least a month I'm going to post a photo from my daily life capturing something that connects me to Spirit. It might be my altar, a candle I'm burning, my dogs, the garden, a friend, a book I'm reading, nature, something I did, someplace I went, something important to me, or, who knows, maybe just my morning bowl of Cheerios! The idea is to creatively connect with the holiness of my everyday life, plus I also need a gentle little kick in the butt to turn OFF the game of Hearts and other shadow comforts and start writing again.

My Sacred Life isn't really a challenge -- that sounds too strenuous -- it's really more of a softening ... into a moment, a treasured possession, a companion -- people, parts and places of your everyday life that you cherish. Whatever is sacred to you.

Wonderful Karen created a gorgeous little My Sacred Life button to use on our blogs! Please link it to this post or you can copy and paste this code (fingers crossed it works!):

Carla,

Thanks for providing me an opportunity to get myself moving with the camera. I'll put the Sacred Life button on my blog and start the project tomorrow. I ordered a couple of candles for my sister's birthday today. Can't wait to hear from her - I know she'll love them. Thank you!

Hello, Carla
I wandered over from Angela's via John's and had to see what fine things the other Carla is up to. Touching Art, my house at Typepad, is about the sacred life of an artist, so it is perfect to add your button. And if they button doesn't work, I'll just do a regular link. Let this open me up to posting every day-consciously- instead of twice a week.
Many blessings,
Carla

[Magpie]

I have started...thank you for this!
