Blige. Whatever it is that you have, you must make work for you.  In this way, we keep moving toward the light.  When we minimize our own talents, when we envy what others have, when we give in to despair, we choose darkness.  When we do so, we should always remember this is a choice, it is not destiny.  The light is always there if we have the courage to seek it.  And, with faith and trust in God, we need never seek it alone. The reason why I choose this one is she is so down to earth and real, her response resonates with me personally.  I was told years ago I could choose to live in heaven or hell, in other words, if you don't do anything to change your situation and you are miserable, then you are choosing hell on earth.  so that is why Mary J. Blige's comment resonates most for me. Because I chose to try to live my best life years ago, by asking G-d to light my path. And sometimes asking G-d to please give me enough sense to see & follow it! My favorite jewel was Mary J. Blige.

I knew my 6 year old son was shopping for a birthday gift.  I did not realize he gave a lifetime of giggles, stories, personalities & love.

She put her hands over her had and crouched down. When it passed, we looked and each other and laughed knowing that covering our heads wouldn't do much good. It was that laughing together that brought me so much joy.  I was sitting in the loft of our cabin with my seven year old granddaughter, when a bolt of lightning hit nearby.
