What do you do when you want what can’t be bought, rented, leased, lent, stolen, found or made but can only be given by a willing heart?
Where’s the magic five point plan for that, O priests of self help, quick fix advisors, and back slapping coaches?

I read most everything you write and I find it disturbing that you muster the most rhetorical energy when constructing a prison for yourself. (And personally speaking… that’s disturbingly familiar to me.)

I found that there is no plan. No quick fixes. Desperation though, is not attractive, but fled from.
