Welcome to My Virtual World… 

You have stumbled upon an informal, active community of Earth-loving, animal-friendly souls brought together, initially, through an interest in the writings of Susan Chernak McElroy---me. My books and my life circle one simple truth: Everything we need to know, we can learn through animals and nature. We humans have evolved over eons of time, studying beside Earth and all her many amazing creatures. The wisdom we gain in this natural, loving, and beautiful “classroom” is our spiritual birthright, and our greatest blessing.

Visitors and members of my virtual world are bound by a shared belief that Nature and Spirituality appear to be happily married to each other, and that awe is a most reliable road to an up-close-and-personal visit with the Holy One (no matter what you personally call this being/force).

I would wager that most of us find awe in many of the same, simple things: the sight of a just-budding maple tree, the flash of a cardinal's wing, or the lick of a new pup. We are delighted easily by animals and nature, and are perhaps a bit embarrassed by this love we feel so deeply. We learn new ways to live by observing the harmony in nature all around us, and trust her wisdom to inform us along our journeys of self-exploration, growth, and service to the greater whole.

You can access and join this growing, welcoming community of mine through my blog.  It is the place where I share my reflections and stories, and invite yours. There is a link there where you may sign up to be notified of new blog posts through your email.

Please visit and comment often. Some of us---probably most of us---need the wisdom of your stories and experiences. With respect and delight, I welcome you to this robust and worthy family of "dirt-worshipping, Bambi-loving, tree huggers." I saw that on a bumper sticker once---doesn't it just say it all?

Nature's Peace---Susan
