WOW!

Well said. Well written and what an absolutely GREAT analogy. Love the comparison. Made me rear end a little sore just sitting here thinking,"Plush seats RIGHT NOW, HECK YA, PLUSH LIFE without my children, husband, and loved ones...NO WAY!"

Money doesn't buy happiness. Happiness isn't for sale. Happiness is an aspiration, an inspiration, and a conviction of mind, body, and spirit coupled with determination. I believe those are the main ingredients to finding the recipe of a happy life.

Remembering that the more we have the more we spend is statistically true hopefully encourages some readers to well..READ UP. The more we make the higher our lifestyle costs rise and the maintenance on these "mark ups" come with a price and sanity and humility and charity are unfortunately the first to go. Greed is an UGLY word and the more you have the more the "obligation" begins to set in causing anger, bitterness, and feeling of betrayal. Who like to be volunteered? We ALL LIKE to be asked, RIGHT? When you have "money" the charities EXPECT donations, dinners, and dollars and many people get stuck in the "obligated" rut. That leads to hostility and absolute resistance towards genuine acts of humility and charity sometimes and oftentimes starting at home. Money can buy freedom and comfort to a certain degree but the blessings in a healthy body, mind, and soul afford us the opportunity to do for others and be THANKFUL, to do for ourselves and be THANKFUL we have the ABILITY to do for ourselves and others.

I appreciate and applaud your article. I would love to see that printed in a Lifestyles, Family, and/or Women's Column. I'd pay to read the full article. It's powerful and SO very true.

Sincerely,
Kathleen E. Peaua

Review of Soul  Open in new Window.
Rated: 13+ | (5.0)
Hello! I'm AM NEW so PLEASE keep that in mind.
The ONLY "constructive" thing I can say is that on the line
"I've barely had time to think." is that I think:
"I barely have time to think" OR "I've barely had the time to think"
That is merely MY opinion..
The last line...I belong to Light, I THINK, AGAIN ONLY MY thought is
"I belong to THE LIGHT", ONLY because I BELIEVE that it is more definitive...THE LIGHT...THAT light, the eternal, everlasting light that frees us...
HOWEVER you do state VERY clearly and OPENLY that it is for EACH reader to take what they may from your extremely POWERFUL and POTENT words.
I have to say that coming from a rather "deep" and "introspective" place personally I can FEEL this, it lends imagery with depth and feeling rarely found in this day in age and I liken it to some of my favorite authors that are in the truest sense timeless. This is absolutely beautiful and so full of feeling it oozes with the underlying desperation and then hope and then resolve...AGAIN, that is merely my opinion. I believe this is a FANTASTIC poem and so EMPOWERING for ANYONE who has EVER felt "pulled under" be circumstance, being a lover, husband, friend, and even just telling that endless cycle of destruction...NO MORE..MY LIFE IS MY OWN AND I RECLAIM IT AND YOU HOLD NO POWER OVER ME! That is what it says to ME...

I hope and pray my review is received in the spirit given. I AM new, and also VERY honest. I see work such as this and it reconfirms my own belief that the power of the pen is the mightiest of all swords.

Most Sincerely,

Kathleen E. Peaua

I LOVE the title..your work is so...captivating. There IS something poetic, romantic, enticing, with adventure bespoken. Where it will go, maybe you don't even know yet. I have faith, tremendous faith and being an avid Fantasy reader (I could name drop, and they are BIG NAMES), the title alone is intriguing, combined with your writing skills and style I believe truly you are on to something far greater and more promising and LONG overdue: A refreshing feel introduced in a new world that we can IMAGINE and most importantly...DREAM!

PLEASE continue with this project and post your progress, notes, thoughts, and even ideas throughout. Any reader worth his library card or book swapping should be brimming with excitement over the possibilities of something this exciting being created and having the honor to embark on this journey with you and assist in any way with encouragement and support. This is a tremendous undertaking and requires dedication and perseverance that not many of us can honestly say we are qualified to follow through. So please, please continue and let us join you on this journey.

Thank you for your guts and gumption. Thank you most of all for continuing on the magical carpet ride through the land of imagination and dreams and inspiring hope and promise with the magical and mystical realm unfolding before us.
