About Me
I come seeking, connection with the world's spiritually minded; and progressively minded souls.
In a very short time, my visits here have strengthened my faith, and all because of the people who are a part of beliefnet.
Even so, life is painful right now; uncertain which directions to take most days; less certain who to trust. I had started the summer of 2008 on a billowy cloud but that's all it was, a cloud. So ... C R A S H ... the landing hurt; deep pain tapped ancient pain; hard to shake.
And yet, here's the silver lining of this cloud.... Connecting with people here has brightened my life in countless ways. There are so many insightful blogs, journals and columns at beliefnet. Without that pain refered to above, I wouldn't have found my way back to beliefnet. The people who have befriended, or sent their thoughts have added to my joy - what an enriching place this is!
