After calling Alaska home for most of 40 years, Sheli's out finding her true calling (and a handful of adventures), while stopping to visit as many friends, labyrinths, and ice cream shops as possible along the way. She believes that Life is Good, you can never have too many friends, and Ice Cream makes everything better. Learn more about Sheli at www.shelidodson.com
Coming soon…. It’s taking a bit more time and courage than I’d hoped to bare my soul about these things, but I’m taking your interest in reading about it as signs of encouragement and caring. Thank you and please check back in a few days for the actual post.
I enjoyed traipsing down memory lane, reflecting on this labyrinth walk from 6/8/2022. I was in Texas to be an extra in the filming of an episode of The Chosen, and spending the time with two people I love so very much – Andrew and Mikayla Wilson. We had an afternoon free and they cheerfully…
Before Andrew, Mikayla and I headed out to Midlothian, TX to be extras in season three of The Chosen, we stopped at the labyrinth at Unity of Fort Worth (located at 5052 Trail Lake Drive). Their labyrinth was a lovely space and I was glad to discover this link on their website about walking labyrinths…
I was at dinner with some friends a few weeks ago and a story I had told made me think of this scripture. It stayed with me- long after the dinner, so it felt like it was the right Faith Focus to share. But first, the backstory: We were talking about dating and past relationships,…
Sunday, August 13 – Saturday, August 19 I’ve done a terrible job of keeping the blog up to date with where I have been and what I have been doing, so I apologize to my faithful readers for keeping you in suspense.Please bear with me and keep checking back.I am slowly posting older updates, but…
It was a pleasure to walk this labyrinth at a private residence in Dallas, TX on June 6, 2022. Though I was anxious (in a good way!) to meet up with Andrew and Mikayla, I KNEW that I needed this bit of time to walk in solitude. There are not a lot of labyrinths listed…
I’m fortunate to have this amazing group of friends that stretch back into my childhood years- all the way back to Junior High. And what’s even more amazing is that we’ve all maintained our friendship over the decades (and debacles) in our lives. Our communication is sporadic. We can go weeks, months or even YEARS…
Today’s Faith Focus is about words having purpose and how we should use them. I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about how people speak- to me, to others, about me, about others, to situations and about situations… The questions were simple: Are the people speaking life or death to me, my situation…
These are revelations I received on the second half of a labyrinth walk I took on the evening of June 5, 2022 (around 5:45 p.m.) at White’s Chapel United Methodist Church in Southlake, TX 76092. I didn’t know it then, but I recognize now why I had written ‘Kintsugi – beauty in the brokenness’ in…
This reflection is from a labyrinth walk at White’s Chapel United Methodist Church on 6/5/2022 @ 5:45 pm. White’s Chapel UMC is located at 185 S White Chapel Blvd in Southlake, TX 76092. I couldn’t even begin to remember why I titled this ‘Gone’. But I do remember how much I enjoy walking this labyrinth-…
June of 2022 found me back in Dallas, Texas, so I used that opportunity to visit one of my two favorite labyrinths from that area, one of which is the labyrinth located at Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff. Consequently, today’s labyrinth lesson reflection is from June 5, 2022 around 4:45 pm. What you seek…
Be who you are by being your true self. The best way to do that is to be honest- with yourself and with those around you. It is especially important that you are honest with the people in your life who are important to you. That’s it- that’s the post.
