Interview: A Journey Into Soul With HALLELUJAH TRUTH

An interview about soul and energy with HALLELUJAH TRUTH for people who are wondering and searching.

Maybe it's the human's nature for getting to know who we really are in this world. Are we able to find out the truth of life? I came up with this blog theme because such kind of thoughts(questions) just kept coming into my mind and bother me the most when I was practicing free writing, most of them are still open to me and I decide to have a discussion with someone who have a deep understanding about life.

I was being truly honored to have this interview with HALLELUJAH TRUTH, my dear English teacher in Language Institution of Georgia Tech, on this Thursday. She has a strong spirit for creativity and art, and she also showed her deep thinking with wisdom from her tremendous life experiences during the interview. (See more about her in her website)



How to Blog?

I used to think a good blogger must be an excellent writer, and a few of us could do that. There were several blogs I have ever kept before this journey, but I quit to post at last since I spent too much time on choosing the most proper words and being too careful with grammar, sometimes I even totally forgot my blogs because of the busy work. But now, I've learnt how to keep a blog and keep going.

The theme I choose for this blog is quite open but a little tricky, which leads to the tough times whenever I need to post. Actually I came up with this blog theme due to the free writing, and the thoughts came to me at that time still bother me the most now, to some extent, this is the real part of me. So far everything goes well and it seems like a good start. Here are the ideas about how to be a good blogger which I learnt after several blog entries.

Thank You On Thanksgiving And Every Other Day!

It's very lucky for me to experience the first Thanksgiving Day in America, from this precious chance I learnt more about it. The first thanksgiving was celebrated by the Pilgrims to show their grateful to the Native Americans who helped them a lot. On the fourth Thursday in November, families or friends gather together to have a big meal with turkey and express their gratitude to each other.

Stories of My Day

Happy days always come soon and last short, taking photos is a good way to keep them stay in our mind. Here are the happy stories that I want to tell you by photos about my day.

WHAT TO EAT FOR LUNCH? The only dish I'm good at is cooking eggs in several ways, such as fry eggs with pepper, onion or balsam pear, egg cookies, egg soup, and so on. In addition, a cup of lemon drink (which is my favorite) can keep you in a good mood for the whole afternoon. (Photo by Shell Bean)

Beside the Rivers and Sea

Sometimes we get tired of modern busy lives, maybe it's time for us to stop our step and settle down to look for the peace of heart and gain the new power to restart our journey. As for me,  every time I stuck, I would like to take a walk along the river or the sea coast, let the wind comb and refresh my thoughts, let the water wave wash away the sorrows.

Shell Bean's Litany

Litany

 

By Shell Bean

 

You are the air and the wind,

the sweet memories and the flame.

You are the aroma of the morning roses

and the inspiration of the brain.

You are the sunshine in the cold winter

and the bright rainbow after the rain.

This I Believe

From my own understanding, belief is some abstract thoughts or opinions hold by people that reflect his/her attitude towards life, values and the outside world, it could be a kind of specific religion or some sort of certain rules that he/she insists and uses them as guidelines to guide his/her life. I also found an interesting website in which different people share their beliefs, here is the link: click me

As for me, I don't have any religious beliefs just like most of Chinese people do nowadays, but I do surely believe in something else. I believe that good begets good, and evil leads to evil. Just like hard-work leads to success, honesty leads to trust, and cheating leads to fail, there always gonna be consequences for what you have done in the past, maybe it is one of the universal basic rules.

Great Journey

What can you feel (more specifically, what kind of mood can you feel) from my blog? I guess it may be a little moody. Actually to tell you the truth, it hasn't being settled down yet by now, because there are so many interesting things I want to share with you, and it is too early to decide which way to go next.

By searching key words "photograph" and "travel" in Google, checking the links in their blogs, it is very easy to find some similar blogs as yours that you can enjoy, here are some blogs I found in the internet, as it shows below.

Me and the World

There are total 621 posts since 2008, about 14 posts for every month. A lot of pictures are used in his blog; we can see he really enjoys writing. The background of his blog is clean and simple, makes it easy to distinguish the posts and pages.

HELLO, WORLD!

Now I am very excited to start writing my first blog post here, your visitation is my great honor and it will encourage me to keep writing. In this blog post, I'll give you a brief introduction about me and my blog, hope you enjoy it! :-)

In this blog, I will mainly focus on the particular things that I am interested in, such as movies, music, painting, photograph, technology and traveling, exploring the unknown, share my experiences and feelings about them. Most importantly, find the new positive power from the past.

My name for this blog is Shell Bean, which came directly from my real name "Shibing", these small lovely beans also fascinated me, and I made an interesting photograph for my blog by photoshop, as it is shows below:

Planets Inside Shell Bean

The shell of bean is hard and sometimes useless, just like our body, what matters is what inside, thinking. We all born with empty cup, and we try to fill it by different things after we grow up. The planets inside means our own world, known or unknown, which I want to understand, find out the truth and my purpose by exploring the mystery with my whole life.

This is all for my first post. Please feel free to leave your comments or messages if you have any question, I will be very glad to answer it!
