Beautifully expressed truth karen.
And I am in complete agreement.
I truly believe that we are all born with a specific God given gift that is our responsibility to find, minister to, nurture, and share with others to bless them and allow growth that would otherwise not be imparted.

I believe too that there is a delicate balance in everything in this life, and it all hinges on knowing and understanding Truth and walking in love with one another, and sharing the wisdom that is imparted to us.

Excellent thoughts ...

Karen it is so enjoyable to read this work as it gives the view of our actuality within this world...even though we work and live each day it is the fact of knowing our purpose and giving back. Our being that example of joy or positive reflection to share among the world...

Well this certainly qualifies as "Inspirational" - I think you've found the gift that is yours. your "Purposeful Living" accomplishes all that in a simple style that sends out many "ripples into eternity"
best to you, michael guy

There is a lot of truth in this one, many of us as writers and poets share our gift in our words as you do so well, others do so in paintings or teaching or even as religious or political leaders but we all have one mutual gift that we can all use if we choose...to love.

This is wonderful and so true. What happens is too many wait too long a time to discover their true "passion". When that happens, we are the ones who lose. There's nothing like being terribly caught up in one's hobby, one's work, and living life fully. It takes less money than we often think it does.
