Excerpt
Life is a journey of mysterious encounters and unforeseen ventures. On this expedition we are never fully equipped to surmount the mountains that seem to pop up. Seldom are we thoroughly prepared to wage the battles which we are compelled to brave. After all, there is no guide to direct us through life. It is unfortunate when we discover that there is no manual to instruct in a carefree, worry-free existence. We are born into a world of insecurity. We must fight and scratch to survive, so to speak.

Each person on this planet, has his or her way of confronting challenges and adversity. Everyone needs something or someone to run to when their universe is shattering. We all could avail of the wisdom and knowledge of others. It appears to me that frequently this reassurance and motivation is sought through similar experiences shared by other people. I think strength and renewal arises at the comprehension that every living soul has obstacles of some magnitude or another. We are each granted a personal adventure. Within this sphere of wonder and amazement develops a sense of instability and self-doubt. This weakness causes us to trip and fall every single day. It is imperative to secure a source of courage and a mainspring of love and support.
