In your view, what life stage is the human family in?

Posted on Jul 7th, 2008 by shivermetimbers01

What pattern has characterized your life recently?

Posted on Jul 7th, 2008 by shivermetimbers01

Mania, then mild depression.  I'm not bipolar, but my anxiety is manifesting in mood swings right now.  I'll be fine in a couple of months.  Until then I need to do some serious breathing exercises,... More »

When was the last time you felt at peace?

Posted on Jun 25th, 2008 by shivermetimbers01

When have you felt the most free?

Posted on Jun 13th, 2008 by shivermetimbers01

Where do you find art in your life?

Posted on Jun 13th, 2008 by shivermetimbers01
