I'll Take God, Hold the Religion
I write to learn my own truth... writing for me has been my companion and teacher for almost 40 years. And this is my prayer for you — to know and trust your truth. My dream is that someday everyone on the planet learns to trust themselves. That each of us has the courage to trust our intuition. If we are not under the influence of alcohol and or drugs we can trust what we KNOW. You can trust the quiet small voice that emanates from your core.
