A Love Letter to Myself

FD- BeYouToFull

Valentine's Day is always a contemplative day for me. On this day six years ago my marriage came to an end and my new life began. So, on this day, reflections on love, life and my relationship to it always brings some quiet contemplation. I asked myself whether I am lamenting about not having a partner to share my life with and I keep coming up with ‘no’. I would enjoy being with another who was of like values but, I am not lonely. Almost never do I feel lonely although there are times « Continue »

Probably one of the boldest things I have ever done is throw my hat into the ring at the Next Top Spiritual Author Competition... it forced me to get in front of the camera (here is my inaugural experience), it forced me to get a blog (voila!) and it moved me into the wonderful world of Facebook! Up until that time I had a big, BIG, hangup around technology and actually contemplated whether I could be the person that went their whole life without ever using a computer.
