Update 1-3-2025:  For  2025, I have joined the Circle of Atonement community to work through the ACIM Text. In the last few months of 2024 I felt drawn to what Robert and Emily Perry brought to my understanding of the Course, as they present in their YouTube videos and podcasts. This community offers a schedule to read the Text to complete in one year. I plan to follow their schedule and journal as I make my way through the text. I plan to post my journal notes on the Text. (If you notice there are some of the ‘Days’ missing, I have chosen not to journal about most of the Cameos and on chapter review days.)

In 2022 I became a student of ‘A Course in Miracles’ again after having read and blogged about it back in 2013. I studied the Workbook with the Everyday Miracles group with teachers Robert Holden and Hollie Holden. This practice continued through 2024. My daily practice, in 2022 through 2024, for studying the daily Workbook lessons, was to journal.
