    The other day as I was driving home, this feeling came over me. Now, I've had this feeling before yet, not sure I've ever written about it. What am I? Yes, I know, the eternal question is, "who am I" yet, I want to know "what am I"?

    For the first 45 years or so of my life, I never felt as though I belonged on this earth. Every once-in-awhile I'd feel grounded ~ when dancing, giving my teacher appreciations, doing qigong, riding my motorcycle.

I've gotten away from the vegan 'junk food' that is so readily available....
