"Meeting people unlike oneself does not enlarge one's outlook, it only confirms
one's idea that one is unique."

JUST BECAUSE
Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realise what a gold mine you are,
Doesn't mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough to figure out that you can't be topped,
Doesn't stop you from being the best.
Just because no one has shown up who can love you on your level,
Doesn't mean you have to sink to theirs.
Keep shining,
Keep running,
Keep hoping,
Keep praying,
COMPLETE!

Minus the good and minus the bad; Minus the happy and minus the sad; Minus those
who love you, minus those who love you back and minus those who
do not love, or even like you; Minus your social standing and minus your financial
position; Minus the image you portray and minus the way that image
is perceived - Who are you?
In the first light of dawn, before you put on your worldly clothes; In the last
light of dusk, when you take them off - Who are you?
Do you stand in awe of yourself as an incredible creation and view your life from
that point?
You have the miraculous ability to breathe, see, feel, hear, move, smell, touch and
love. Is that not wonderful, or have you forgotten who you are beneath
your earthly cloak?
Young children know who they are. Their mere existence is cause for celebration.
They run and jump and yell and sing and dance with a passion that rises
from the joy of being alive. You had that same sense of awesome wonder - once.
Struggles and disappointments didn't destroy it. You simply put it away and forgot
about it. There are flashes now and then, little reminders. A thought you
can't quite grasp. A feeling that slips through your fingers. A yearning that never
completely goes away.
In the twinkling of a moment, you are here. In the twinkling of another you are
gone. Everything in between is the completeness of your life, not the separate
compartments that push and pull and stretch you thin.
God gave you the whole and equal gift of life, and created you as its miracle. You
are never anything less, and no one can ever take it away from you.

~ with some help from Terri McPherson and Philippians 3:13,14 - "Forgetting what is
behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the target to win the
prize."

We are not pushing any particular religious barrow. We believe that we are
spiritual beings having a human experience. While there are many different
religions, they are in our opinion, merely differing opinions and ideas, at best
they are man's feeble attempts to explain the grandeur of a force or power that is
at the same time greater than us but dependent on us. We do believe that there is a
spiritual dimension to a well balanced life, but how you express that is your
personal choice.
