I grew up thinking my life was all about the destination. I had to do everything in my power, and then some, to get to heaven. I spent so much time focused on making it to heaven that I didn’t pay any attention to my daily life. I didn’t take care of myself (that didn’t matter…when I was in heaven all would be great), I lacked any kind of self-esteem or self-worth because I was so focused on how I was going reach my goal that I didn’t pay any attention to my own soul. I also emotionally skipped over a lot of great moments in my life. I was there, I remember them and thank goodness I can take it all in now and appreciate them, but at the time any sense of self-discovery was missing.
The photo on this page is of me. It was taken a couple years ago on a nice summer evening, after a long walk.
