“The healing of the spirit has not been completed until openness to challenge becomes a way of life.” – M. Scott Peck

Welcome to the Davies’ Weblog. On this site you’ll find texts in English, Finnish, Spanish, French, Italian and Swedish. However, the main language is English (a mixture of American and British).

My name is Johanna Maria Davies. I am a 32-year-old Master of Arts (MAPolSc). I aim to make a positive influence on society through arts (which is a broad concept for me). I wrote my Master’s Thesis on U.S. foreign policy rhetoric in relation to Cuba. I have written articles on gender issues, peace, conflicts, religion etc. for various magazines. In addition to these, I have been writing all kinds of literature as an Information Officer. Furthermore, I am in the process of completing a novel. In addition to writing, I receive energy from reading, as well as practising and teaching yoga and dance.

I describe myself as a spiritual peace-builder who is curious about everything in life. I think that as one combines these features, one guards healthy moral values, at the same time as one takes into account the diversity of life and the beauty of grace. Through my writing I wish to bring all my favourite spiritual truths alive to the people of the 21st century. I believe that the Bible has many great teachings, such as the passage from Luke 10:27-28. However, at the same time I want to stay away from the judging mentality that reading the Bible and pursuing virtuous spiritual life can easily awaken.

I believe in the transformative power of love, and I am dedicated to develop myself to become an example of this transformation. A good sense of humour is essential in love. Therefore my motto is “lighten up to become enlightened”
