The masks I know now were my conformist constructs. I was becoming what and who I thought I was supposed to be, shaped by my environment. It was many, many years later that I broke through and took off the masks and discovered who I truly was and reinvented my life. It has been a difficult and very joyous process. We are one and this so called ‘life is a stage’. Do we live in a static or dynamic universe? Answer this truthfully and you can find the mystery of an abundant life. Creation is all about change. It is about growth, transformation, and making beauty.

And when we hold on or cling to life through the various ways we try desperately to control things, then we are literally planting ourselves right in the middle of the road, refusing to move and eventually life will create a current strong enough to get us up and going again.
