I’m going to start going through one chapter a week, starting RIGHT NOW, and go through all 31 chapters of A Course in Miracles in 31 weeks.
So, if you would like to join along, that would be fantastic. All you have to do is open the book and read Chapter 1, and finish it sometime before next Monday morning (when we will start on Chapter 2).
During the week, I will point out certain sentences and paragraphs that inspire me
Of course, these sections will be different from the ones that stand out for you, so please feel free to post your observations in the comment section. That would be great.
All this week I have been getting private messages from people who say they love the comments that you all are writing. So post away. Feel free to leave your website address so people can find you.
Have fun with it. Chapter 1. THE MEANING OF MIRACLES.

Hi Lisa, Today has been quite a day.. and I wanted to share with you. I had written that today is 7 years since my last drink and God had something he wanted me to do. I still have my mom in the same box that she was returned to me from her cremation.. she has been thru everything with me. I felt like I owed her living amends for all the years I made her life hell. I finally brought her out of storage and she was on my dishwasher for about a week and been riding around in the backseat with me for a few days.. when I put her in the backseat.. I sat there and said ‘ God I don’t know what to do with her.” It came to me yesterday that today would be my 7th year sober and she would be so proud of me. I wanted to do something to honor her, today would be it. I saw the mountain near by in my mind and where to go up there I was not sure.. but we started driving and I came up to the first lookout on Knox mountain, it was 730 pm and it was gorgeous and blue and it over looks the lake and the whole city. I just listened and was directed to a rock I could sit on… and just said mom it’s time to let go… My biggest terror in my whole life was loosing my mom… and I was time for me to face that final moment today…
I was so peaceful… it just was a few moments… I said I love you and drove away… she can overlook my little apartment if she just makes a short flight… she is always with me… wow It was some ride eh mom… so happy that I chose you to work all this out with. I remember her lying in bed one day, in so much pain, and I kneeled beside her and said I was sorry that whatever all this is about I just missed it… I am so sorry..
I love you mom, Jayme
