¬            How do you reveal your expression of your soul’s celebration of life?
¬            What are the fruits of your life time, and have you harvested them?
¬            What have you learned and shared in life to leave as your legacy?
¬            Knowing you are created in the Divine image, what are the spiritual blesSings you give to others?

I bless you, as I bless myself, to pull off any boulder from your well-spring of joy, and go to joy.
