Not long ago I arrived home and found many packages at my door after a friend put out the word that I was in need of help.  All of the gifts are loved and respected the same, large or small, from rich or poor I'm equally thankful to everyone!  However, a few intrigued me more than others.  One of them was from Judy Schaefer and her return address label simply says "Independent Consultant" on it.  I don't know her, but the name was vaguely familiar to me.

In side was a note of encouragement that included her title of SRVP.  I called my dear friend Jo and asked her if she knew her.  Jo asked my why, I told her, and Jo was not at all surprised.   It seems that doing an act of kindness for a stranger is part of who Judy Schaefer is as a person!  Jo told me how Judy is loved by everyone that knows her and that her region name was UNIVERSAL SPIRIT.  I loved the region name and knew that I would one day write about it.

I started a post on UNIVERSAL SPIRIT long ago and felt like finishing it today.  It was almost done, weeks of work a little here a little there and I trashed it!  I threw it in the trash because it was not written from my heart. It was plain and dull, it was missing the honesty of my past post that gives them warmth and a life of there own. I was trying to please everyone that might read it because some of the women that read them can send some of the most unkind letters ever written when they don't like what you write.  Bitter, angry, unhappy and jealous people that send nasty letters had raped my post of there affection and removed the last breath of life from them.  My post were truly dead, as dead as a list that had 300 members a few weeks ago.

All because of a few people!
