I learned about spirituality from my mother when I was still in elementary school.  I latched onto the spirituality and I think it was partially because no one else was into it.  I have always thought religion was an interesting subject and was willing to debate with almost anyone, but I also hated the ‘rules’ that sometimes went along with…

“You did this before, you can do it again,” I repeated to myself.  I was almost to the end and I was just about to cry.  If I did not finish this race in first place, I would not be allowed out of my room for two weeks unless it was to go to school, practice…

Eleanor was the most insecure one of our group of friends.  Her insecurity was a fact not many realized because they always saw her as the beautiful, smart and successful lawyer and many didn’t think to ask anything about her personal life.  Eleanor had the most ‘extra’ appointments in her book partially because her coworkers often asked…
