Whew! What a ride this has been. Today is the first opportunity that I have taken to compose any words on this page since I published my 1st book back in April. The title of the book is "Always the Victor, Never a Victim: Healing, Loving & Laughing While Affirming Yourself." Now that was a mouthful, yet befitting of all that has occurred over the last several months as well as what it has taken for me to get through every valley and mountain. In the words of Maya, "And still I rise." The journey that I want to share is not a recount of how I drove cross country with my cat Vinny with a few shekels in my wallet and an even fewer number of shekels in the bank. The journey that I want to share is that of a spiritual nature. Spiritual in the sense of there being a force greater than anything that I could ever imagine. I know this to be the truth because my journey would not have been possible without that awesome power. Each day that I awaken, I have the opportunity to pray, meditate, affirm and write. I use all of these tools to govern my every motion because I know that they are what have me be empowered in living a life that I absolutely love even when it seems impossible. The faith that I have in the Creator is combined with unseen and expectancy. While I can't see the miracle, I have my arms outstretched and my basket ready to receive the blessings that are promised to the good and righteous. Note that I didn't say perfect. Even in my imperfections, I believe that the Universe will grant me favor. For when I expect much, and work in the direction of greatness, I am rewarded heavily. There is no mystery and simultaneously the mystery continues.
