IN PRAISE OF DIFFERENCES!

My Life Coaching mentor, Dr. Randin Brons, Has once again hit a chord with this week Idea Generator. Celebrate differences.

"Souls don't have races or sexes or religions. They are beyond artificial divisions." -- Brian Weiss

MORE ON THE GOD THING
I am not, today, a religious person, but to move from a low start point to a life I love today, I had to understand what god is to me.

I WANT MORE (of everything pleasurable)
