Hello,

Thank you for the warm welcome! In my search engine, I typed: “Peace in a cruel world”. That is how I arrived here. What a find! A little about me. My spiritual beliefs derive from growing up Catholic and then at age 20, finding Buddhism which struck an internal chord- Bigtime! As a human being, I have a tremendous amount of compassion for others, love for my family, and respect for our differences as human beings. What I work on daily is becoming a better person. I am not perfect. As a matter of fact- far from it. What seems to make me content with myself at the end of each day is when I can acknowledge that I did some really cool things, I did some things that could have been a lot cooler (and perhaps gentler, kinder), and in the closing of the day I feel genuine peace and contentment within my actions. Acceptance is the key for me and it’s empowering for me to have learned that when authenticity is present and my ‘self’ or spirit is unmasked or unfiltered, I am truly present and content. I look forward to sharing ideas, thoughts,etc with you all.

Thank you. Have a Great Day!
KS
