About Me
I am a very young at heart aging lady slowly becoming a wise woman. My heart loves, cares, listens, does not want to judge, forgives, hopes, shares and enjoys reading what others have to say about stuff - any stuff. I am still learning, still growing and loving life. I have a beautiful 35
year old Autistic daughter I deeply love and care for with G-d's help. In the process of any debate on a religious subject, compassion and understanding of another's seeking heart should still the desire to expound dogma. Respect, and honor is loving the image of G-d in another. We can respectfully agree to disagree too. The extended hand to help, the ear to listen, the words to pray mean more than being "right" about anything.
Translation of the word "Buddha" is "Awake". I am a spiritual traveler who wants to be awake to all the blessings, the life lessons, and the precious souls on Beliefnet.
Om Mani Pedma Hung means "The Jewel is in the Lotus"- or the Breath, or Spark of HaShem (G-d) is in all of us - Shalom All
