Awwn sweet debx, iv missed reading you, i always love the simplicity of your words woven and how powerful they actually are and what you convey in such an effortless manner! Thank you for this beautiful and much needed reminder, we often forget to live for ourselves, and to be authentically just us, while trying to fit into societys needs and wants. I absolutely love this! Hope holidays treat you well sweet soul! Sending you light today and always

Great advice, Deb. Too many people want to be what others want them to be. I had to set my parents straight (lol) Merry Christmas to you and your family :) Charlie x

I’ wrote so many poens on ths sunject! Sometine I find that ability to genuine makes people head for the hiis. I do not get bad at all.. They seem to want you or me to be one of them whatever that means. And follow their line of thinking whether it’s religious or political and if not, they’re not gonna read you.. I think that’s a good thing. I don’t like it around me.. I hope you had a good day I did. I wasn’t here most of the day.. pangie

Deb, so many of us will say yes to this. Yet part of the journey is learning who we authentically are. As a poem it has such a heart of universal truth until we realise the deep question it asks of us. I think I have to fave this and revisit many more times. Blessings on your own journey Sx
