"If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, we will beamazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedomand a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut thedoor on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how ourexperience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pitywill disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interestin our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude andoutlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecuritywill leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations whichused to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us whatwe could not do for ourselves. Are these extravagant promises? We thinknot. They are being fulfilled among us -- sometimes quickly, sometimesslowly. They will always materialize if we work for them." (BB pages83-84).

About Me
- Name: Reignfyre
- Location: Mid Eastern, Virginia, United States
I am a 39 year old white female born & raised in Northern Virginia. I keep moving southwest to get away from the sprawl of cities. I do what work I have to in order to live. I would much rather be independently wealthy. I never graduated college although I attended for years with hopes of getting a psychology degree (I quit when I became very ill). I plan on going back soon to get a teaching degree (I would like to teach science). I am very interested in self help and twelve step work, ecology and nature. I live on a 10 acre plot that is a recognized wildlife preserve. (No hunting, fishing, or pesticides). I live with my mother, who prefers not to live alone. I prefer to live alone but don't do well living alone so it works out! I am unmarried (never married actually) although I came dangerously close twice (yes, I was going to marry at Disney World....could you die!) I am very liberal & have an outrageous sense of humor. I lean towards the comdey stylings of Jon Stewart, Howard Stern & South Park. I am no religion in particular although I love learning about various religions. I prefer to think of myself as spiritual with Wiccan/Buddhist leanings.
