I don’t like labels. I don’t even like my name (yay for pen names!). I am me. Thats the only label that matters. But I do have facets of my life. One of which is spirituality. It actually started organically as a child, but growing up in a catholic family, it was immediately shamed out…

Its a privelage. It honestly is. For so many people being able to relax or enjoy life is dependent upon being financially secure. What I mean by that is they have enough income to cover basic needs, savings, retirement, and then enough to do activities to enjoy life. If that is you, yay! If it…
