I have been to place's in my life that I am not so proud of, but today I am very proud, not of the poor choice's for that is what made me who I am today, but in that today I can finally make a difference in someone else's life!
The volunteer work I do has always been very important to me, and many of you know that. I started to volunteer because at the time my "husband" and I where in a real need, and I felt that by giving back and would be helping as well as paying back. Today I may be given more of an opportunity to help more then I ever imagined, and in a way that also is important to me. As well as making a few more amends. There is discussion of returning to a place that helped me in a big way, and although I made mistakes there as well, it was the place I learned the most from, what they said stuck, and stayed. I may be given the opportunity to help women who where like me, that had no family and no friends to support them at a time in life when that is the most important.
I dug around in some old paper work that I had from a previous life,, lol figuratively, speaking, and I came across papers, that I remembered, learned from, and feelings of complete strength came to me. In this file where my own personal notes, some very bitter, and painful. I can remember feeling that way, and today I am grateful that I do not feel that anymore. So I want to share with you one that touched me then, and when I read it now, I am still touched, but in such a way that is no longer one of sorrow.

I looked at this today with a new attitude, I am that one today, I am not saying why not me? but instead saying what can I do to help. What can I do to teach, or learn, or to love!
Today I am so grateful, and look forward to more of the wonderful things that are to come, now it's not just about me, but what I can do for others. What a wonderful feeling.
Blessed Be with love and light always.
