ON ASCENSION

Find out who you are, and be that completely, always allowing yourself many unexpected transformations. Strive to see the living spirit in all things. Listen to your dreams. Listen to God. Respect yourself, and you will respect others. No one can tell you what your own truth is, you must find it. No one can lead you down your path, you must walk it. No one can grow into your true self for you, you must do it. Have strength, courage, intent, and determination my brothers and sisters. As hard as life is, it is a gift. Be grateful. Forge on. I am with you.
