when i saw that i could meet my own needs, i started to feel like i had a future. self-support and self-sufficiency are often two terms i used to use interchangeably. even to this day i can get confused. the test, at least in my mind, read more: tinyurl.com/3cejuzjr

by being myself, i seed the ground for connecting with others. okay, i will not beat the dead horse about not knowing who i am and seeking my true self, this morning. when i was using the only connection i desired with others was to get read more: tinyurl.com/8f4j44ta

discovering who i am meant to be through being of service to my fellowship and practicing goodwill. it is more than ironic that after nearly sixty-nine trips around the sun, i am only now beginning to understand the person i am and what read more: tinyurl.com/hmt5h8pp

how well am i tending to my spiritual well-being? certainly an interesting question to pose on any given day. this morning, i can say, probably not as well as i am capable of, as i had issues listening to the void. i know that happens from time read more: tinyurl.com/457k4h4f
