So, long story short...

florence made the mistake of

thinking I could hurry up the process somehow...

My Advice to You is

be patient, be committed, be consistent!

Here's the whole story

As I became clear that I did not have all the answers I learned the greatest lesson of my life, how and when to ask for help. What I learned is that there was help everywhere I turned; all I had to do is open myself to it.

My spiritual journey has brought me close to so many people. As I sought answers, I spoke to many, many people, all wanting their paths to be heard, to be witnessed, and to be of value. The essence of this site actually.

Our journeys to self and to God come in so many varieties. Sometimes it is a quick jaunt to the all night market, other times it is an all out trip to the moon. What I now is that I need to leave the safety of my couch and get the hell out. Explore and witness others, myself, the universe.

The blessing that are out here to explore with each other will ultimately bring us to ourselves and to God. At this moment Eric Clapton is serenading me with, Only the Broken Hearted. I always love when songs playing in the background support the moment in time...YUM, the essence of a journey, being willing to enjoy the ride!! Blessings F

"While florence was seeking who I was, I found God, and the more I sought God, the more I found myself!" Oh my Florence, this too is the story of my life. I know I've done it in a very strange way, but this line just resonates so deeply with me, thank you!

I too love when music and life intersect, it's like a soundtrack from a zach braff movie, only better!
