Written By Donna M. Atwood Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and I couldn’t post this writing without first paying tribute this incredible man who changed the course of American history. For those who may be unfamiliar with Dr. King’s achievements, I encourage you to visit the King’s Center website at https://thekingcenter.org/about-tkc/martin-luther-king-jr/ . As for today’s post, I thought it might be fun to share a little about my home, personal life and work with you. I recognize that my early posts in the Rave Reviews Book Club 30-Day Blog Challenge were a little heavy. After all, UFO encounters and spiritual awakenings tend to be that way. So, today, we're onto some lighter fare...with just enough UFO and spiritual stuff thrown in for good measure! For starters, I should probably mention that ever since my spiritual awakening, I’ve slowly developed an ability to pick up words and phrases, clairaudiently. I recognize how strange this probably sounds to a lot of people, but it is a known side-effect of having an encounter with a UAP or ET. People in the UFO community refer to this ability as exoconsciousness. A lot of ideas for my work (and personal growth) come to me this way, and I'm beyond grateful for this gift which helps me be of service to others. You may have already figured out that I seek to work with God’s will. In other words, I intentionally work with a Higher Power, and as such, I consider what I do to be very important. The truth is all I’ve ever wanted to do in this life is help people, especially now that we're living during a time of unprecedented change. Part of that change relates to our increasing presence in, as well as visitors from, space. As such, it's my intention to help new UFO/alien/paranormal experiencers understand what it is that they have gone through and are continuing to go through. My goal when I created Alien Experiencers Network was to do exactly that. It was also my intention to help folks put all of these experiences into perspective. What I've learned is that ultimately, these types of events help people live richer and more fulfilling lives. In addition, since I’ve personally been through all of this, I recognize how important it is for people to know they are not alone in their journey. Still on the subject of work, it's probably no surprise that I spend as much time as possible writing, and Rave Reviews Book Club's 30-Day Blog Challenge is bringing me back to my roots. I am also in the process of getting my You Tube channel up and running, as this is where I envision spending most of my time later this year. Of course, there’s always personal and professional business items to tend to and friends to hang out with. Here’s a picture of me with my friend, Darla, during Christmas last year.  One of the things I’m passionate about is interior decorating, so I thought I’d share a few pictures of decorative items from around my home.  The latest addition to Donna's living room, The Day After by Edvard Munch.  Words to live by: It's never too late to live happily ever after.  Flowers and baskets from Africa. Even though the condo I'm in is just a rental, I've tried to make it feel like home - for the time being, anyway. I also enjoy cooking, baking and wine collecting. However, my current kitchen is very small, so these days, I tend to keep my meals simple. Since I spend less time cooking, I find getting outside and going hiking to be a great way to get some exercise and enjoy nature at the same time. I also love to swim when it’s hot outside. Since I adore people, I make a point to connect with other experiencers in person whenever possible, and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) in Arizona provides plenty of opportunities for this. Also, every week I meet online with an Exoconsciousness Group, where we enjoy lively, thought-provoking discussions about extraterrestrials. Whenever the opportunity arises, there's nothing better than taking a drive out to beautiful Sedona, Arizona. Sedona is known for its energy, which is good for the human chakra system. The town also boasts world class shopping and dining as well as amazing New Age shops and a vibrant arts community. If all that weren't enough, they are a well-known UFO hot spot! Images from Sedona, AZ. From left, Sedona's famous red rocks, McDonald's with blue arches - the only one in the world! At right, upscale shopping at Tlaquepaque. What about you?

I believe that rock on the left is Bell's Rock, which I climbed this past summer during our road trip. I also climbed Cathedral's Rock (where I sprained my ankle when I was almost at the very bottom). There is a place in Sedona called the Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park. If you have never been there, I highly recommend it. It's a Buddhist meditation outdoor park. It's so peaceful and calming. My son and I visited a couple of the vortexes while we were there, and I spend a little time meditating (not long because he wanted to keep going). There energy there truly is uplifting! Thanks for sharing more about you, Donna! :-) 1/17/2023 09:59:40 pm
Hi Yvette! I've never heard of the Buddhist meditation park but I'll be sure to check it out when I go back. Yes, the energy is AMAZING! By the way, so sorry to hear about your ankle...I trust it healed up well : ) 1/17/2023 04:12:46 pm
Hi, Donna! I really like the decor in your home. Especially that plaque, "It's never too late to live happily ever after." True! Bill and I have been to Sedona for a short visit. I would have like to have stayed longer, but we were under time constraints back then. I loved our trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona. There's mystique and undeniable energy all through that area. These days, we like to cruise. I love being surrounded by water. Great post! 1/17/2023 10:02:58 pm
Hi Patty! Ah yes, the Grand Canyon AND Sedona...now that's a trip! But cruising sure is fun, too! One of my favorite stops on a cruise we took a few years back was St. Barts. Such a beautiful island : ) 1/17/2023 07:48:34 pm
I love your pictures and hearing more about your personal life. Arizona looks beautiful, and I'd love to see it. 1/17/2023 10:05:26 pm
It's a fun place, Susanne! Honestly, I didn't think I'd like it all that much, but I've since learned there's a magical quality to the desert. 1/19/2023 08:23:56 am
