Spiritual Autobiography: Why Share Your Spiritual Journey? By: Alisa Clark | - Your spiritual autobiography is about the Unlimited Realm: a place many slowly fail to believe in. It's so human to decide that life is only going to take us so far and that the real good stuff is for Heaven. We may feel that our spiritual journey has left us with nothing powerful to share with others. We don't reach out because we've come to the place where we no longer want more. We no longer expect God to fill our emptiness. We decide that there's no new adventure to go on and no new way to f ...

Why Do Public Schools Undermine Creativity Skills? By: Doug Wallace | - This article discusses how the output of our school system is predicated on the assumption that every child should aspire to be a teacher, university professor, engineer, or something that required math or science. Laudable as that goal may be, there simply arent enough teaching jobs for every child, and not every child wants to be a teacher. Yet our public schools place a higher value on math and science that they place on those creative and gifted skills that are unique to each child. If th ...

Prayer And Our Spiritual Autobiography By: Alisa Clark | - It's important that we think about the place of prayer in our spiritual stories. It's important because the way we pray becomes a part of our story. It also becomes a part of the story of the person we pray for.

Our spiritual story is limited when we don't choose to consider the impact of our lives, joined together with the lives of others, in prayer.

We have to consciously stop and be silent, exercise, take a hot shower, pray, take a nap, do some yoga or read a good book.

Hitch-22: A Memoir By Christopher Hitchens By: Prasoon Kumar | - It is extremely difficult to describe the book Hitch-22: A Memoir By Christopher Hitchens because it appears to be an autobiography in some ways, though the author Christopher Hitchens is not that concerned about the intricate details of his own life.

And, I also learned that this story is not just a cold, removed narrative: it's deeply meaningful and spiritual. It's a story that helps us heal and grow in life changing ...

Spiritual Autobiography: How Can Art Help You Tell Your Story? By: Alisa Clark | - Who can make art? Do you need an art degree to make a worthwhile creation? Does your final product need to be "really good" to validate its existence? Many people want to get involved in the creative process but are inhibited by how good they think their final product will be.

How To Start A Personal Journal By: Alisa Clark | - People hold back on keeping a journal. They've gotten the idea that it's not enough if what they write helps them. They feel it has to be "good writing" to be worthwhile. My training and life experience begs to differ; it's about the process NOT the product. And, no one has to see what you've written anyway. Your journal is your own private world. Start one and enjoy the ways a journal can help you change, grow and learn about yourself.

Memoirs: Not All About You By: Jennifer Carsen | - Memoirs are appealing for writers because we all like to tell stories, and we especially like to talk about ourselves (and anyone who says they don't is either painfully introverted or, more likely, a big liar).

Mukiwa By Peter Godwin By: Philip Spires | - Peter Godwin certainly has a story to tell. Its a story of an idyllic, if unusual childhood, a disrupted but eventually immensely successful education, military service and then two careers, one in law, planned but aborted, and then one in journalism, discovered almost by default. Listed like this these elements might sound just a bit mundane, perhaps not the subject of memoir. When one adds, however, the location, Rhodesia becoming Zimbabwe, the result is a deeply moving, in places deeply sa ...
