I learned being all things to all people is not my job it is God's job. I learned asking for help doesn't mean I am not trying to do my best. I learned saying; "I am sorry, I made a mistake." means I am learning and that is my reason for being. I learned loving myself is as important as loving others.
Thank you for your message! We feel moved to create an environment that we can spread a message of empowerment, love, understanding and peace. I have been forever changed and touched by co-creators like you that believe that we can create a new reality now! Thank you for your encouragement, we are humbled by the opportunity!
Having a beautiful life now,

Thank-you... Jody
I'll explain to you all briefly my story, a fight with depression and a stuggle to find My Own Inner Light.
My mother died when I was 18 mnths old... I was always certain that she maintained contact withn me throughout my childhood.
I had gone through a terrible Divorce (mother of my now 17 yr old daughter) after which I remarried.
I'm an Eletrical Engineer who had worked in the Automotive Industry for 15yrs. Upon my 2nd wife pregnancy and the birth of my son; now 6yrs old, this marriage began to break down (post partum blues???). I fell into a deepening depression and became addicted to cocaine, oxycotine and morphine. My employer terminated my employment after which I moved to the Soo (sault ste marie, Ontario: small, slow paced, tightly nit community) for treatment. I remained there afterwards as I had met and moved in with a gorgeous nurse; employed by the local hospital. My wife (back in the GTA: Toronto area) was denying me regular access (always said I could have my son for the weekend; but after making the long 12hr trip she would laugh and deny me access to my son). After a year of this I returned in hopes of getting my job back (as I had been promised my previous employer; during a then recent telephone conversation) and it was suspected that my wife was hoping to reconcile shoudl I return (which was the reason for her behavor: access to my son).
So I returned... its been over a year now. No job, no recociliation, no savings left, I've lost the beautiful nurse, and myself. I've entered a deepening depression. During my recovery I'd though I had ffound the inner light; which I was always aware existed, yet ignored! Now, it is as though that light has lost its way back to me... is how it appears to me. I am no longer knowing how it was that I became "enlightened"... apparently now Lost and Deeply Depressed!
I struggle to find employment as I'm now completely broke. I've lost 50lbs... NOT fat... I was always extremely fit: musculr and athletic. I was a scholar, musician, athelete ( , boxing, , , track- sprinting). Obviously the loss of self, the "inner light", has had a devastating effect upon the body; in the form of major loss of muscle and fitness!
I continue to struggle... I am thankful to have been found by this group, invited and given some hope that there is hope!!!

Jumping in to say HI
Jumping in to say HI
I read your text , know what you are talking about in some ways,
but give you a short advise....
Focus on what you want, not on what you not want....
Learn from the past, but leave it behind!
Good luck, and believe!
