I just searched for seeking a more spiritual life and found this page. I have some resentments against members of my family and realise that they are quite negative towards me and my daughter. Its always our fault etc. I will try and pray for them but am finding it hard to never know what to expect with them. We dont live close by and dont see each other often. Im thinking to just let them go and get on with my life without them. What do you think. Reading what you said about not being around negative people has made me think this way.

Thanks for the comment, Tuck….I needed that reminder to be quiet, to sit in the silence a bit and allow the meditation to smooth out my day. I have not done this enough lately, so thank you so much for the reminder.

Thank you for your wisdom and information – I just found your website and am enjoying it.
I still struggle with alcoholism, but have been sober for longer than I ever have been. One thing I found is that before I could find my spiritual path, I needed to be QUIET. I needed to sit and calm myself and open myself up. Things started to fall into place after that. I have used drink to deal with difficult emotions, to numb myself. I continue to work towards “floating on the waves of turmoil”, rather than flailing around and fighting. Being quiet for a while each day has saved me. Thanks again – you’re providing a wonderful service.
