I love it when I find a blog author who can tell a beautiful story that contains an important message. This weeks New Blog Of The Week (NBOTW) author does just that.
When I read her first post, I knew she was a writer, who blogs. Here’s an example from “The Eye Of The Storm”:
Itβs the space between the moments of life that soothe and nurture the spirit. But to experience the spaces, you have to live the moments. Then and only then will silence be golden, and will you have found the true Eye of the Storm.
In her post Swinging Full Circle – That’s Life she writes about the circles of life. To quote her, she says,
It has made me realize how powerful and unchanging love can be throughout the years. Through living and through dying. Once you are in the circle it holds you there. You are the circle. And you canβt be lost because in a circle all things return to where they began.
In “Are You Afraid Of The Dark” she starts the post with a beautiful story named, “Two Wolves – A Cherokee Legend.” The story ends with a thought provoking line that’s well worth contemplating.
She then goes on to say:
Fighting a dark thought will feed it. Noticing a dark thought doesnβt feed it. In fact, by taking the time to see it and perhaps shed some light on it, an understanding can be reached.
With a schedule of once a week posting, I’m always anxiously waiting to read her latest writings.
Her blog is Loving Pulse. Her tag line reads, “I trust and allow the loving pulse of my spirit to connect me with the wisdom of life’s mysteries.”, and she is Davina.
Please join me in re-welcoming Davina to the BWAB community.
Welcome again, Davina!

Hello Barbara, I’m visiting from Blogger Dad.
I too found Davina’s writing some time ago and regret that I don’t make more time to read and comment.
I’ll be sure to change that.
Likewise, I’ll be making time to read your work too.
Thanks Barbara.

LOL Barbara – I was reading the excerpts, not knowing who you’d picked and thinking – I’ve read this somewhere before.
Thank you for picking Davina. She tells a brilliant story doesn’t she? I love reading her blog.
I visit regularly to her site, and find the stories she writes to to be both fun to read, and very thought-provoking.
Davina, this is a well-deserved honor! Congratulations! Continue to write and inspire…

Barbara,
I had just started to see Davina making comments on several blogs and had made a note to include her on my next blog journey. How wonderful to have this link and for what sounds like a good story writer and teller.
Oh this NBOTW is very full of delightful discoveries. Thank you so much for each new introduction.

Bamboo Forest’s last blog post..Some Bits About Me
I’ve been reading Davina’s Loving Pulse for a while now. I added her blog to my feed reader a while back and am envious of where she lives…, Vancouver.
Great pick!
@ Barbara, hi. I hope I’m not overstaying my welcome in your comments section. I am having fun. π
@ Jodith, hi. Thanks for subscribing!

@ Mike , hi and glad to have you as a subscriber too. You’d probably envy where I went camping as well. Sasquatch Provincial Park is gorgeous and well maintained.
Davina’s last blog post..Iβm Over The Moon As NBOTW
Great choice.
Actually, I thought Davina has already been a NBOTW long ago. She does such a beautiful job — great resource of spiritual growth.
Akemi – “Spiritual Entrepreneur” @ Yes to Me’s last blog post..Gratitude Friday, Edition 13, Gratitude And Train For Humanity
I’ve enjoyed Davina’s posts for some time. She has a beautiful spirit and it shows through her writings!

@ Akemi. Hello to you. Thanks for your support.
@ Evelyn. Hi to you too. And, thanks for your support also. May you get through all those emails quickly today.
I’ve read the legend of the two wolves recently on another blog too – I like this allegory very much. The native American people were very wise. I’ll take a look at this one!
I am so pleased to see Davina as NBOTW.
I have been really enjoyed visiting Davina’s blog over the last couple of months. Davina has a way with words that really speaks to my mind and my spirit.
Congrats Davina

@ Leanne. Thank very much!
@ J.D. Hi, I’ll be “seeing” you soon at your blog.
