        I too began a new adventure, as I completed the conversations At the Table. In many weeks of meditation and observing energy words in my daily journal, the words beaming, beams, and Bright, and Lights were repeating…in sync with my heart, i was gifted the creation of the new blog…
        Beaming Light…
        Please visit when you can. Abundant blessings as we take our glorious leaps in Faith…and Shine On …Beaming Light …Love And Peace always

      Hi Kath! Holiday is over and I am back in to my daily ritual and teaching schedule. Weather is easy … which means I am also easy.

● About Me

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.

This blog came to life one morning in 2013.  I woke up with these words in my mind:  “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”

Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.
