What does peace mean to you?
Is it a temporal feeling or sensation experienced on a situational basis?
Is it a state of being?
Is it a part of our very being?
Is it a political ideal?
Is it something else entirely?
This is just a conversation that’s been being shared between some friends and I recently. I’d love to hear your opinion.

This is over at my StumbleUpon page. It’s too good not to share…
Ya think there’s more there than meets the eye?

What’s the difference in religion and spirituality?
Unfortunately, as with all language and words, these things will mean something different to each individual.
What do they mean to you?
Here in the south people seem to have a harder time differentiating between the two.
Just last Sunday one of our customers called the house and illustrated this fact. Being a new customer and not having any previous personal connection to us, one would think that no assumptions would be made.
One would be wrong.
At the very first part of the message (before she said what she was calling for), this person did 2 things:
One of my new clients at the gym (who is from California) had a similar experience. The very first day at her new job here in Nashville nearly everyone in her office asked her, “so where do you go to church?”.
When she responded, “no where, I’m more spiritual than religious”, they looked at her with bewilderment and then tried to “sell her on their church”, as she put it.
Do you assume someone goes to church when you meet them?
How would you respond to someone who says their spiritual, not religious?

I try to abide by ole’ Teddy Roosevelt’s policy here on my blog.
Speak softly and carry a big stick.
All I mean is that I try not to blog about nominal, day-to-day, random type stuff.
That said, my blog has been kind of quiet recently as I’ve kind of been in a “settling in” phase (as Rick once put it) here recently.
I mean that I’ve just been dwelling and resting in some recent thoughts/realizations and not really actively attempting to “discover” anything new…hence, not really any food for thought on the ole’ blog.
If you want to catch other day-to-day type stuff during my relative silence here, follow me on twitter (as I’m totally addicted to it and twitter quite frequently) and DEFINITELY be sure to check out my other blog, The Fun Times Guide to Living Green for lots of fun, inexpensive, and easy ideas to take steps towards living a greener life.
