Recently, I have embarked on a spiritual journey which has greatly enriched my life, and, some I'm surrounded by. Blessings abound, and every day is a day closer to my reaching of spiritual totality.

One of the things that I have really clung to over these last few months is my utterly complete, never-ending faith in love. Love means different things to different people; but this is what I've come to realize:
 

Most people want so much to give of their love, but may be afraid to express it in it's entirity because of some condition from the past. That being said, let me take a few paces back and provide a sound definition of love. LOVE IS LIBERATION. Love comes in all forms-but the true heart of every being's spiritual essence is love. If you dig deep enough inside yourself, through the smoke and mirrors of everyday life; you'll realize true, unabashed, total love. You realize suddenly that there is nothing else that matters more and you will wish to share your joy with others. When you cherish this gift you start to attract others who are in the same situation-they have lots of love to give, and lots of love to share. Yet, there are people who are ashamed of love, as if they are embarrassed to be in touch with the true simplicity of their very nature! It took me a really long time to realize that love is nothing to be ashamed of.

I have fully embraced this realization and have been astounded by how my life-and outlook on life-has transformed. During this metamorphosis, I have been blessed with many people that are vibrant and beautiful and they all have one thing in common. A deep passion for their lives, their loved ones, and mostly for themselves. And there have been people that have fallen by the wayside, and to those people, I can only wish that they experience the same joy as I have come to realize.

In closing, I want to thank the new friends I've been blessed with recently-you're all so very valuable and beautiful. So, PAM, KELLI, and MONICA, thank you for sharing your lives with me. I hope that our budding friendship blooms into great full blossoms of joy and harmony. Of course, there are a few people that have remained by my side over the last few years, so, DION, and NICOLE, thank you for your indefatigable faith in me, during the times of darkness and light. And to VANCE, my dear friend of old, that was lost but has since been found; thank you for coming back to me. Of course, I'm grateful for my family; my adorable children (both biological and inherited). It is because of all of you that everyday is a gift.
