Look for Good
What’s the trait you value most about yourself? I tend to look for the good in everyone. That is what I value most and also what has caused me the most heartbreak. Still I look for good. Love & Light, Lori

Who Cares?
Recently I have been reading and following a few people on personal transformative journeys. My first thought was who cares what other people are doing when it is intensely personal and often difficult? It seemed to me at the time to be attention seeking and unhealthy.

Seriously , Bruh
What is a word you feel that too many people use? I cringe every time I hear “Seriously!” It is so over used. While I’m complaining, let me add that “Bruh” is a sound not a word. Stop saying it. What happened to elegant conversation with meaningful words? One of the many degradations of society…
