You know, there was a time in my life when I use to always find myself wanting what other people had.  I wanted their way of life, I wanted their stuff, I wanted their parents, I wanted their gorgeous legs, etc.  I’m sure we all have been there in some shape, form, or fashion.  During those times, I obviously appreciated so little about myself, and to this day, I still have to watch myself regarding that old habit. But in my process of learning to love myself again by focusing inward, I have found that ‘things’ out there mean very little to me anymore.  True happiness from within has become my one and only desire.  I’m beginning to choose to do things now that are fun and make me feel joyful.  And for that, I am grateful. For me, this is faith. This is trust in the sacred benevolence that I’ve never fully trusted in before.  But this faith is coming from the sacred heart within me, the sacred love that I cannot ignore; and I am most grateful to walk this walk for the duration of my days here on this earth.  May this walk be the bridge that takes me home when it is my time to go.
