@kristy1 I find it extremely powerful (in a good way) that the universe has its way of throwing us into situations whether uncomfortable or not. I'm currently still trying to change the way I feel about things happening to me or anyone else. This goes back to an accident I was involved in last year, that I may talk about at some point but don't feel ready yet. Do say the least it really changed my perspective and as you have wonderful children and a loving husband be you rocks, I had friends and family help guide me too :) I really feel the connection to the people we deem most important underlines our life more than most other. I have high hopes for the end of the first quarter of the 21st century in terms of medical advancements and feel its our duty to look past the western way of thinking about health and include the eastern traditional ways. Another often overlooked aid that has helped me gain a more peaceful mind is meditation even if just for 15 minutes. The work on my self is so important I more often than not feel like creating is a meditative process. Yeah I just love drawing lines :)
