Thoughts for today...

I am an individual with the right to a good life. I must not look to anyone else to make a good life for me; this I must do for myself.

I pray to learn the way to see myself as a child of the Universe, bearing in my heart and mind the dignity and grace the Goddess has conferred on every one of Her children. Let me learn to live up to this.
