Many of us were not recognized for who we really are when we were smalll. If you were not raised in a warm, loving, spiritually aware household, you probably never felt comfortable being yourself.

I told myself it wasn't at all because of what happened with snake the other day. I told myself I wasn't afraid, just… Continue reading Coming Round Full Circle – The Day After
