I started working in word documents. I am using the structure of Henri J.M. Nouwen’s book Here and Now, Living in the Spirit.
He has 12 sections with a average of 7 250-300 word essays in each section. I find using his style gives me a sense of authority to speak to others.
I also feel comfortable attaching the term “Secular Spiritual” to what I am and what I do.
Secular spirituality is the adherence to a spiritual philosophy without adherence to a religion. Secular spirituality emphasizes the personal growth and inner peace of the individual, rather than a relationship with the divine. Secular spirituality is made up of the search for meaning outside of a religious institution; it considers one’s relationship with the self, others, nature, and whatever else one considers to be the ultimate.[1] Often, the goal of secular spirituality is living happily and/or helping others.[2]
