“A life without a lonely place, that is, a life without a quiet center, easily becomes destructive. When we cling to the results of our actions as our only way of self-identification, then we become possessive and defensive and tend to look at our fellow human beings more as enemies to be kept at a distance than as friends with whom we share the gifts of life.” That was a quote from Henri Nouwen and his masterpiece Out of Solitude. Today we reflect on the benefits of being alone. The Distraction of the Day: How nasty would a song have to be to be removed from the playlists of major radio networks in Canada for being offensive?

“I was the difficult daughter, deemed theatrical and way too sensitive, according to my mother.

Today we are exposing the lies for the unloved daughters and more importantly, revealing the truth that will set them free!
