I'd not call myself religious but know what feels right for me, what tends to work; I also have a good handle own ownership and responsibility...I'm actually sitting here writing this week's Viking quote about that topic right now. Understanding what opens oneself up to oneself is important...Hiking in remote places does it for me, along with other things. Life is simply a series of threads we mast grasp and weave into our tapestry.
That Liza is lucky to have you my friend. She knows it too I'd say. :)
