I welcome challenge
Week 1 blog

This is my very first blog ever! Let me start off by saying that initially the work involved with the MKE curriculum seemed a daunting task as I am also participating in the Standing Tall/Color Codes program.

Let me start off by telling you a little bit about me. I had considered getting my Master’s Degree in Holistic Nursing a few years back and chose to attend Interfaith Interspiritual Seminary instead for my “higher” education.

The main reason I made that choice was because I had had my fill of nursing research and of writing papers. Seminary did involve research and writing papers on a monthly basis and somehow I found the time and energy to complete my assignments on time in spite of the fact that I was working fulltime as a nurse.

I believe this was because through learning about various spiritual practices, traditions, and rituals I was expanding my consciousness. I really believe that putting my spiritual practices first is essential to living a full productive life. Seminary gave me some precious tools to help myself and others grow on this journey called life.

I can see why MKE is considered to be on a Post Graduate level and so far I find it to be very challenging, interesting, and enlightening. It is intense, unlike any other course of study that I have embarked on. I say that because of the myriad of tasks needed to do each and every day, multiple times a day.

I am a white in color codes and so like to do things as thoroughly as I can. And I understand the value of the various practice implemented by MKE because I know the power of the subconscious mind has in bringing about real significant change in life.

So, yes, the MKE course is intense, takes lots of discipline, and I am so happy for the tools I am learning to utilize in order to bring about higher consciousness, real change and personal growth. I have decided to keep an open mind and open heart so that I can make the space for MKE to fit into my life.

I am ready to overcome my previous programing and bad habits that have delayed or even halted my personal growth. To quote part of our studies,

“…Only a habit can subdue another habit.”

Og Mandino, The Greatest Salesman in the World, p. 55

Week 1 has been a challenge and I am abundantly grateful for this MKE experience.
