I connect with number seven (which is listed as no.6?). I recently had several truths come to me that I knew along but ignored for years as I thought it was madness. I trust my feelings and I believe that our feelings never lie as it is there that if we listen we find our truths. Namaste

Thanks! I corrected the list numbers — words, yes, numbers, no. I trust my gut much more these days too. Today is World Library Day, so I’m celebrating all the free books I’ve read over the years because of free libraries!!

Reading is important to me too. Although I don’t seem to make the time for reading like I used to.
I especially appreciate #9. I think it is so important for us to do that with each other since our world is now so small with more people moving and technology being embraced by more people.
