Taken from the post of a dear friend, Chanelle, on Facebook I had no choice but to re-post this article. The orgininal is here. In it, the author ventures into the world that is today, and asks, what do we need more of? What do we need less of? As a people, where are our priorities?
No lie, this list struck me because I am battling with many of these points myself. One thing I need more of, both giving and receiving is love and compassion.
Sometimes it's a good starting point to just have it all written down, and look at it. Time to digest.
