Awake @ 4:30 a.m.
Constance White came over + worked with me on the forgiveness lesson. We worked well together.
My task in moving forward is to keep from piling on more...more...
Keep this open space around me.
"She is truly like a star, that noble star of Jacob whose rays illuminate the universe."
