Thanks for the ping - I had to look up Ping - did not know what it was. I am doing pretty well - enjoying eating, walking, driving, and many other things - none of which I could do 6 months ago. Thankful, needless to say.

Carla, indeed you are a woman of great insight and courage. Many are not so willing to believe as you do because of the great responsibility that comes with truth! Often times there are so many who want something for nothing. To know and accept higher principles and truth always demands greater responsibility from those who seek it regardless of their nationality or culture.
