Opening a new business has been quite a learning curve for me, especially learning about anything electronic (give me paints and brushes instead!). You've likely noticed that I haven't posted a blog for quite some time. Once I learn how to gain access to and update my own website and drive more people to it, I will also begin to blog more regularly. I AM keeping people notified about programs and events at my shoppe via e-mail. Please let me know if you want to be added to my list. In the meantime, thank you for your patience. :) Paula

On inauguration day, Jan. 2o, 2009, the Lowell Sun newspaper published an article about my new business titled "Helping Spirits Soar (Artist offers affirmation.....)". To read it, go to www.lowellsun.com and type "paula spirit rising" in SEARCH. I thought the editor, Kathleen Pierce, gave a nice overview what Spirit Rising is all about.

Let your spirit soar!

A Little Hope


In these challenging times, I think we can all use a little hope. There was a point in my adult life, when I had achieved many of the things that society said should make me happy, but I still felt this sense of “is that all there is?” Shortly after that, a series of small coincidences occurred that opened me to believing that there was more to life than what I could detect with just my five senses. Life became more wondrous and mysterious to me and I began to have a sense of hope.
I just read the book, The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield, for the second time. It speaks of nine insights that humans are beginning to discover that will greatly enhance our journey towards a more spiritually based and fulfilling life. I realize now that the book is describing my own journey, thus far, plus giving me more information to help me further along my path. I have chosen this book as the first selection for my “Spirit Book Club” (see “UPCOMING SERVICES” below) because I think it is the perfect base from which to begin sharing what I have experienced, in the hope that it will assist others on their own journey. Please join me as, together, we explore this wondrous, mysterious life and remember how to truly let our spirit soar! - Paula Richards
