"Someone once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift." Mary Oliver - American Poet
Darkness comes in many forms. It may be a source of sorrow caused by divorce, infidelity, death, physical or emotional illness, job loss, abuse, disappointment, betrayal, addiction, abandonment, etc. If you were dealt with any one or more of these packages in life, the human reaction is automatically to fill up with despair, bitterness, and gloom. The sooner there is a shift from a negative mindset into a more accepting one, the less damage occurs to the body, mind and spirit. By viewing these sorrowful life events in this manner, you are truly receiving a gift. This gift can be woven into a blanket of love that not only impacts you personally but wraps your loving influence around others . This impact could potentially improve an entire community. Shift and give a gift . . . the gift of a healthy body, mind, and spirit to yourself and others.
