Hello. My name is Barb. I live in Victoria, B.C. Canada. I am a mom of a very cool daughter who is twenty-three. I am forty-five years old. I am an artist - I like to paint a lot. I like the process of painting. I have arthritis and other physical processes that leave a lot of pain in my body to navigate through. I am a journal writer - a blog by another name. I have been writing the narration of my thoughts since I was quite young and I have been doing so online for about five and a half years. The first five years are at:
http://groups.msn.com/ItsjustallaboutmeI think a lot. I think about spiritual life and about the power of thought and the difference and the similarity of thought and prayer. I think of peacefulness. I think about and practice meditation. I think about the process of life: birth, aging, death and I look for kindness and compassion in all aspects of that.I write a lot about pain. It is a way I have of processing it. Plus, sometimes someone else's voice comes into clear focus and says, "Yes, me too."I have lots and lots of positive feelings about the earth. I think more and more people are getting to know each other around the globe and that is creating a situation of more friendships being formed than enemies being made. I hear peaceful voices speaking for friendship and for getting along.
