STACEY LATIMER
What is your refuge from thinking about and dealing with your health?
My refuge lies in the sustenance of my faith. My sanctuary (the place where Spirit and I dwell, not the physical building of church, synagogue or mosque) is of the utmost importance to me. Maintaining a strong spiritual base gives me the ongoing ability to see that the world I live in consists of more than just me and my issues. The totality of my life is not wrapped up in and around me, for no individual is an island. I have learned that the same way that I stand in need of help, healing and a miracle, many others occupy that same space. Taking a moment away from my own private pity party to help someone else, or becoming that which I need, provides me great healing and empowerment.
