My Weekly Wisdom e-mail from the Option Institute this week is just what I needed to think about because I feel so powerless today:

Clarity of purpose (decide to make a difference)
Conviction (believe in what you're about to do)
Daring (stand tall even in the face of opposition)
Passion (once committed, give it all you've got)
Persistence (stay the race until the end)

When you become a "force of nature", there are never any regrets.
Giving so deeply and fully is its own reward.

I woke up crying this morning. I will eventually have the mind focus to write. But this is as far as I can go right now. In the meantime- off for a walk and audio projects galore...
