This month’s thoughts                          YOU’RE NOW CONNECTED TO SOURCE

                               about things...                  When they installed my new modem,  he asked what I wanted
                                                                to name the network. I was not feeling creative so I said
                            “I want to look back on my life and be giddy with   Source. Now everytime I turn my phone on it tells me You're
                              joy that I was the one who got to live it.”
                                                                Now Connected To Source. It made me laugh out loud.

                                                                I joined a Facebook Doreen Virtue Group and after reading
              YOU ARE DISCONNECTED FROM THE NETWORK             some posts, I asked for clarification, "So this group is about
                                                                wanting refunds for Doreen Virtue products and discussing

            out my modem (bought 9 months ealier) with theirs to see   I was asking an honest question because when there is a group
            if that corrected the problem. Wi-fi was out again 6 hours   of people who talk about following their guidance, I'm inter-
            later. They finally came and checked and saw there was a   ested in how they use that in specific situations -- like whatever
            problem at the pole behind the house that affected me and   they are unhappy about.  I got instantly attacked. The group

            So, the 4th time Spectrum came out ait was at 9pm but   Corrupt ways? WTF?  I asked to join because a Facebook friend
            he couldn't get his equipment in due to the patch of woods   mentioned there was controversy and I wondered how group
