Thank you for such a thoughtful comment. It has been a pleasure getting to know you through your writing as well. The practical applications of spiritual teachings have always been most important to me. My years in poverty have certainly been illuminating, and I did learn a lot about myself and about spirituality. Sharing authentically is really important to me. I have to be honest about who and where I am. I think it's the only way to move forward. I truly do believe we are here to live in joy and experience the blessings of the kingdom while we are on earth. I'm still learning to turn on the faucet. I'll be sure and check out your most recent article.
