  1. I read The CP Diary because it promotes awareness beyond the physical self, while carrying a freshness and authenticity.

    When I read this quote it simply reminded me of that.

    1. Thanks Tim. I love that is how you see my blog, thank you. Yes, I could never have imagined my blog, or that I would be a writer or an author.

      Yes, Robyn's quote reminds us that our lives can have purpose and meaning, but it's not something that's just there when you want it, or something you just acquire. We must all work at it.

      Each of our lives has purpose, but our actions must accord with that of the universe if our purpose and meaning is to be put to good use. When enough of us go against what the universe expects, you have what we see now.
