Attending to your mental health is very important. I'm glad you took the time to do that for yourself. It's easy to lose yourself in doing the good works you do. Superhero? In my book you ARE a superhero! You are a superhero to each person you have helped over the years, including me. As far as feeling guilty about the money you earn, I'm glad you're learning not to feel guilty about that. You earned it and you use it better than any person who has earned a decent living because of your philanthropic efforts. There is a saying I've been hearing that it's usually those who don't have much who give the most. In my work, I've noticed that can be true. But I also see you giving so much back into the world that gives me hope that it's not only the poor who give much (even though they have so little), but also those who are more fortunate. You make the world a better place. I'm glad you exist and that I know such an amazing human being. It is truly a privilege. Keep doing what you're doing. You MATTER to many....You MATTER to the world! Bless you!
Katherine, thank you for your supportive, kind note. It means the world to me to hear from you. You've been so good an kind to me over the years, I should never feel bad about myself! Thanks for reaching out again. You bring joy to my life! Thank you so much!
What a refreshing and event-filled update. Sometimes the best medicine is getting in and doing... doing for others has such a therapeutic effect. Keep us posted; and thanks for being so open. Why in the world would we think that everyone is UP and everything is glorious ALL the time. The wilderness is real and we learn so much about ourselves and our Creator. This might be YOUR superpower!
