I sit staring at my keyboard. I have no idea how to start, so I start to ramble. I wonder what my friend who invited me to write here will think of this rather slow beginning. It had originally been my intention to start with a large bold statement. Yet, I could not think of anything and was putting off day after day this journal that i was actually very eager to produce. So, today I write, gibberish or not.


  I think of the changes that have occurred in my life in the past year. I had experienced great love and lost it. Found truth and my place in the universe. Left a life walking a dark path. Learning to walk the path to a better place.
  
  I want to be able to share what I have learned, so that when it comes time for you to get your butt kicked by life, it will be a little easier.
