“How much do you weigh,” asked my friend MB as she worked on the form to secure my COVID shot. “I don’t know,” I replied. Truth be told, I have not known for years.

PURPOSE
I just deleted another email from a well meaning soul offering a workshop to help me find my purpose. I smiled as I hit delete. I once would have considered this workshop.

When a sign is given, believe it!
When did I start doubting my intuition? I thought I trusted my inner knowing, but things got messy.
