No doubt that letter was destined to lie in her box and lead to nothing.

The differences are found in how we manage our own issues so if you are beating yourself up, comparing yourself or on the other end of the spectrum looking down on others ... please stop! We are all searching for significance in one way or another ... some have found it within while it takes others a little more time searching the outside.

It is based on an imitation of the character of Christ and the ways of God as revealed in Christian Scripture.

The new environment in which we are invited to relate to ourselves and others is one of kindness. — Richard H H Johnston

In the absence of conceptual clarity, the dominant emotion is fear, fear of losing opportunities, fear of threats, fear of achievement, fear of abandonment, fear of invalidation.
