NEW SPIRIT JOURNAL is a publication whose mission is to inform, inspire, uplift and amuse her readers. Within her pages you’ll find articles and resources that will make you think, feel, question, and sometimes chuckle.

Why “New?” Because not only is each day new for us, but every second of every day is brand new. If you don’t like the way life is going for you, you have a brand new second coming up just around the corner. Why not take advantage of the new and put yourself back on a more positive track?

Why “Spirit?” Because each of us is spirit. Without our spirit we wither and die on the barren vines of life. Spirit is what drives us to look more deeply into life. Spirit is what makes us feel compassion for those less fortunate than we. Spirit is what makes us dance down the street and have stars in our eyes when we are in love.

Why “Journal?” A journal is a place to record special thoughts and feelings, the ones that are important to us, the ones we don’t want to forget or lose. We return to our journals when we need to get grounded or when we need to remember who we are and where we have come from. New Spirit Journal is a community publication. The people who write and advertise here are regular people just like you. They live, love, laugh, cry, and learn every day out in the real world, the “mainstream” world. Some of them are waiters, secretaries, clerks, engineers, repair personnel, postal workers, housekeepers, managers, doctors, healers, psychics… well, you get the picture.

The common factor is our writers and advertisers have something to share with the rest of the community. Maybe it is an idea, perhaps it is a technique, or it could be a product. Whatever it is, they want to share something they believe will make your life better in some way, something that might challenge how you think and behave today, something that might make you question something you currently believe or do.

New Spirit Journal is open to people of all ages, races, belief systems, gender, affectional orientations. In other words, this publication is just like the real world: fully diverse and interesting.

This is a place where people don’t judge each other, but not because they agree. Of course, people will disagree with one another. We won’t always play nice in this little sandbox, but people will always feel respected even if others strongly disagree with their ideas. This is a place to learn and grow, not point fingers or belittle others.

Our readers are a diverse group: some are vegetarian, others are not; some get their astrological chart read every year while others think that to be a waste of money; some have regular bodywork sessions, use herbs, and work with a naturopath and others don’t. Some are thin and others aren’t. Some will call the publication “New Age” or “New Thought” and others will say some of it is metaphysical in content. Labels really don’t matter. Didn’t someone say something about roses smelling the same even when we call them daffodils?

What the readers have in common is an interest in life and in the deeper meanings life can offer. They hope to help create a happier, healthier world where people get along with each other but don’t claim to have all the answers as to how we might get there. They know they aren’t perfected beings and don’t expect the rest of us to
be either. Who knows what “perfect” is anyway?

The links on this page will tell you about how to write for the publication should you wish, how much it will cost to advertise, abit about the people behind New Spirit Journal, how to get in touch with us, and there is a bit of inspiration to get you started.

You'll find New Spirit Journal at bookstores, cafes, churches, and meeting places the first week of each month.

Welcome to a new chapter in your life!
