Yes to Grace!! “Grace. I try not to look down my nose at anyone. We’re all just trying to make it. Anytime someone tells me to hate someone, I reject it” beautiful.

You've helped me to think about the hate I catch myself feeling. The swearing under the breath etc (I'm outwardly nice, but inwardly a hater!) You're helping me to think more metaphorically: WHAT, instead of WHO am I reacting to. Thank you. And yes, I write a lot about grace, too. I like that it's free.

"I’ll take fame and fortune, if for no other reason than I think I could do a lot of good with it." From this questionnaire alone, I tend to agree. Looking forward to more from Sitting in Silence.

Thank you, Jane. Thank you, Maurice.

Yes to peace and using your moral conscience! "Very few things are the crisis people tell you it is. Folks love to destroy your peace. Have a moral conscience and use it, but don’t panic. Panic is a waste of energy."
