My proclivity for life is now immutable! And it\u2019s not just my desire for life, but the way I now\u00a0live\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0love\u00a0<\/em>life! I say that my paths are filled with beauty because my heart is overflowing with love. I perceive the beauty of this world. Anyone can! This is my choice. Everyone chooses and has their own views. We all live on the same planet but we each have our own worlds! Wow! That\u2019s a lot of different worlds! Although there\u2019s so many different people and so many different worlds, there exists a common thread amongst us. Faith! The evidence of things not seen! In this day and age, you have to have faith just to keep your sanity.

Peace and blessings!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
