Totally forgot I had a blog</title><content type='html'>How can it be, I have totally forgotten that I signed up to have a blog.  I guess I don't have much to offer in the way of sharing... I must have been absent at school the day the teachers taught the sharing part, eh?  heehee, no matter.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, to get back into the swing of things blogging (well, honestly, I was never IN the swing of things when it comes to blogging) but I digress. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I have been going through a spiritual evolution of sorts the last few years, having a shift in my belief systems and it sure is difficult letting go of things that you have been taught from the time you were a child onward.  Shifting one's paradigm sure can be harder than I thought especially when you discover something that resonates with you so deeply, but yet, you find your mind trying to shift back to the old way of thinking.  I imagine there are various reasons for this but I think, for myself, it's the "leaving"  of the comfort zone established by the old way of thinking. I also think there is some guilt issues there in a sense because I am leaving behind what was "given" to me, and it makes me appear as though I am not appreciative of what was shown to me by my parents.  Sometimes in life we discover that mother really doesn't know best and that life is not a one size fits all kind of deal.   Just as each of us wears different sizes and styles of clothing, so too is our spiritual life, each of us needing to find what "fits" us as we move along this journey called life.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I found an interesting website that I am slowly exploring called &lt;a href="http://reluctant-messenger.com/main.htm"&gt; The Reluctant Messenger&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, enough rambling for now.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5983024988364839184-6688657807229607604?l=graplesplanet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://graplesplanet.blogspot.com/feeds/6688657807229607604/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://graplesplanet.blogspot.com/2010/07/wow-totally-forgot-i-had-blog.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5983024988364839184/posts/default/6688657807229607604'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5983024988364839184/posts/default/6688657807229607604'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://graplesplanet.blogspot.com/2010/07/wow-totally-forgot-i-had-blog.html' title='Wow!

Enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/ghost-stories"&gt; Ghost Stories and The Paranormal&lt;/a&gt; Lensmaster "janices7" brings you personal paranormal encounters with this lens, with new stories being added each week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/paranormalscams"&gt; Paranormal Scams&lt;/a&gt;  Sadly, there are many scam artists out there in all areas of life, and the world of the paranormal is no exception.  Lensmaster "SarahSkye" does a great job on exposing how many scam artists work within the world of the paranormal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/howtomeetaghost"&gt;How to Meet A Ghost&lt;/a&gt; Lensmaster "sandralynnsparks" shares with us how she is a "ghost magnet" in this interesting lens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/hauntedmaine"&gt; Real Haunted Places in Maine &lt;/a&gt; Lensmaster "gmarlett" gives us a look into the realm of the paranormal in the beautiful state of Maine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/hauntedtoys"&gt;Haunted Toys and Dolls&lt;/a&gt; Lensmaster "KPI" brings us an interesting look at haunted toys and dolls.  KP Investigations is a non profit team of ghost investigators located in northeast Pennsylvania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/JHawes"&gt; Jason Hawes, The Ghost Hunter&lt;/a&gt; Lensmaster "vbright105" lets us take a closer look at TAPS founder, Jason Hawes".  Jason can be seen every Wednesday night on the Sy Fy channel in the series "Ghost Hunters".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.squidoo.com/ghost-box"&gt;How To Make A Ghost Box&lt;/a&gt;  If talking to the deceased is your thing, Lensmaster "andreaberrios" gives us instructions on how to make a ghost box, a devise that will allow for communication with the spirit world.  Sounds interesting, if anyone tries it and has any kind of success, that would make for a great lens, eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, well it seems I have given enough, at least for this post, lenses for you to explore.  There are lots more out there..have fun!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5983024988364839184-386260956505241425?l=graplesplanet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://graplesplanet.blogspot.com/feeds/386260956505241425/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://graplesplanet.blogspot.com/2009/10/squidoo-pages-that-i-like.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5983024988364839184/posts/default/386260956505241425'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5983024988364839184/posts/default/386260956505241425'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://graplesplanet.blogspot.com/2009/10/squidoo-pages-that-i-like.html' title='Squidoo Pages That I Like'/><author><name>Graple</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11809740513065250697</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-z2i5tRsvuYk/TZiKlg_mTbI/AAAAAAAAAFc/AW7hz3k54kU/s220/graple1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
