Dearest, @teresa, Volunteer Mentor, thank you.
We are going to be ordering groceries online here in a minute. Unsafe to drive. Ouch. Everything hurts.

My stories go over the edge for some of our members. I remember that , after I have already submitted it all.

I try to be real. Inclusive. If I am judged by one single post here and there, how sad is that?

When I refer to "faith" or "God" or to things of a "spiritual" nature, it is because that is a very significant part of who we are as human beings. I believe everyone will think of their own particular interest, and not think of merely my own persuasions.

I guess what I am trying to say is this: We all come from many backgrounds, races, groups, and persuasions. I respect you all. At any given moment I might relate a Native American folk tale. Surely no one would take exception to that, as long as I was making a point.

Those who have no faith whatsoever should feel just as welcome here. Many Auties are atheists, as a matter of fact. One of my dearest friends on here is a combination of many things. We agree on the essentials and love and respect one another.

Here is my point....I don't want to ever hurt anyone with my words. When I worked with the 12 Step Programs years ago, they had an expression that they used...." the higher power of my understanding."

Enough of me. Y'all go get ready for the weekend. Have a good one.
Love and cyberhugs...
