Hi All,
It's so nice to read all of your thoughts on this topic. Leah, if you stop back I'd love to know which of Mira Kirshenbaum's books your quote is from if you recall. I'd like to read it. I just received a review copy of her recent book "When Good People Have Affairs." I will be posting a review on it soon. I believe there's some truth in all of your comments, even though they are not all in agreement. Everything can happen for a reason, our responses can be made from free will choices, some things are possibly predetermined while other things happen because of our choices and reactions to things that happen. Why things happen to us is something we all seem to want to know. Is it fate, or faith, predestined or caused by our own choices? Tomorrow is New Year's Eve and I plan to keep trying to move forward with a purpose. I'm not sure if I feel that way for a reason or if I'm making that choice, but I'm ready to welcome a New Year.
Happy New Year!!!
Kate
