Volume 1 Number 30

 The Editor's Desk:

August 1 - August 7, 2010
Our mission is to present spiritual responses to some of the greatest challenges that life has to offer: events like death of a loved one, breakup of a relationship, serious accident or illness, crises of identity, recovery from addiction, loss of job or career, retirement, and other life-altering events.
It's Sad to Say, "Goodbye!"
That's right: after only 24 issues, it's time to say, "Farewell" to the Spirit in Crisis Journal. Hope springs eternal, but, in this very preoccupied world, our hopes are very often disappointed. That's the way of life: but each ending brings with it lessons learned and hopes for new beginnings. Please read the letter at the bottom of today's edition for more information. In the meantime, "Thanks!" to both our dedicated contributors and our equally-dedicated readers. It was you who made this e-Zine possible!

At the same time, the Spirit in Crisis Journal won't be going away completely. Our inspired articles will remain here for you to read and re-read at your leisure. Also, I'll be cross-posting my regular articles from the Midlife Mastery Journal here, as well. So, keep coming back to visit: You're always welcome!

Midlife can be a scary time for anyone. Life-altering changes are frequent and unexpected and often disorienting. How can you prepare for it? More importantly, how can you deal with it when it comes. It IS all a question of "mind over matter" but just telling yourself to "get over it" won't work. What will?

At a Crossroad of Destiny

At a Crossroad of Destiny

13 Jun, 2010 | Author: Rev. Kimberly Marooney, PhD | No Comments »

Many of us are at a crossroad in our lives. Theresa expressed it best, “I’m at a crossroads to go back to the work I was doing or go in faith to start a new life and know that all will be provided. I feel if I go back to the old job, I will be swallowed up. My soul says to move on. How can I find the faith in this moment to walk away and know that I will be taken care of in every way?” [Continue]
