View my complete profile. Favourite Blogs and Other Links. Tell Me a Story of Things to Come. The Path to Peace. Sunday, May 24, 2009. The Path to Peace. I have struggled these past few years with the vastness of my solitude, desiring desperately to find some modicum of peace and yet fearful of retribution for my perceived self-indulgence. Now I know beyond words the TRUTH, which is this:. THERE IS NOTHING TO DO BUT CULTIVATE PEACE. God is here, right now, taking care of EVERYTHING. I am at peace.

Xanthe's Sanctuary: January 2009
http://xanthesanctuary.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Favourite Blogs and Other Links. Monday, January 05, 2009. Recently I've become aware of an unhealthy relationship pattern. What I mean by that is that several people who have absolutely no knowledge of each other are all exhibiting the same behaviour in my relationships to them. One such person has exited my life recently, and even though I am perfectly aware that the relationship was not healthy and that this probably is a gift to me, I find myself really missing this person.

And dark descends,. Whispering words of love. They tell me,. Fear not little one. We are here keeping watch.". We're on this journey. Right alongside you.". Though your eyes cannot see us,. We are as real as flesh and bone.". We wield the power of heaven,. To shield, protect and carry our. You are heaven's jewel,.

As I sit here with my hands resting on the keyboard, my mind begins to race. There is so much in there that longs to be expressed. I frantically search for the place to begin. I am stressed and starting to push. Then I remember, that's how I get stuck and everything stops. So with my hands resting on the keys, I gently close my eyes and breathe deeply. Then I rememb...

View my complete profile. Favourite Blogs and Other Links. Tell Me a Story of Things to Come. The Path to Peace. Thursday, May 28, 2009. Tell Me a Story of Things to Come. I have spent a lifetime focused on the past, trying to make sense of everything that has happened to me. If it didn't mean anything, then what is it all for? I would continually ask myself. I was so afraid of letting go, for fear that I would be worthless. But I am no longer afraid of anything. Thank God I am free to create anew.

Xanthe's Sanctuary: September 2006

View my complete profile. Favourite Blogs and Other Links. A New Understanding of an Old Truth. Thursday, September 21, 2006. A New Understanding of an Old Truth. I can't remember its exact location in the Bible, but I keep getting this verse repeating itself in my head the last few hours:. It is thou Lord only that makest us dwell in safety. When I was in high school, this verse was pasted above the glove compartment in all of the school's vehicles. For some reason my eyes were always drawn to it. There...

View my complete profile. Favourite Blogs and Other Links. Tuesday, October 17, 2006. I haven't written in awhile. Life is getting really good with lots of new things happening that are propelling me along the beautiful tide of healing and happiness. It's about time too. Finally I am learning that I am the creator of my own life, my own story. For years my friend Carl would say over and over like a broken record, "Stop sabotaging yourself. You can do it, Xanthe.". Do what, you ask? Though I don't know th...

Xanthe's Sanctuary: December 2008
http://xanthesanctuary.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
View my complete profile. Favourite Blogs and Other Links. Tuesday, December 30, 2008. There's so much swirling around inside me - mostly images and feelings of things past. What comes with them is a sense of nostalgia and a deep longing that's hard to sort out. It's like homesickness - a longing to go back and recreate the feeling that I had in those moments and places with those people. What's really interesting about it is that it's not. And I can't stop it. I cannot go back. A lump wells up in my thr...

View my complete profile. Favourite Blogs and Other Links. A Prayer for Jenny. A New Way of Being. Welcome to My Sanctuary. Monday, May 29, 2006. A Prayer for Jenny. Last summer when I travelled to Jennifer Lauck's memoir writing workshop at Tara Mandala Buddhist Retreat Center in Colorado, I was scared stiff. First of all, it was a long way from home, into very unknown territory, where I knew no one. Camping in Colorado sounded like great fun. Then I'd think, "Oh God! Oh no, that wouldn't do! So, after ...
