Hi SS...I gotta try and make this quick...gotta go to work...
Don't worry
some of my best friends believe in gods, BFs and Hps. Explore your thoughts and beliefs with an open mind.
My boss did some tough and apparently uncaring things to me when I was at the end of my drinking (a little different I know), but in the end it was cause she actually wanted me to get better....and she wanted to do what was right for me, the department etc.
Sounds to me like you are seeing the interconection between alot of different things and are finding the path of growth through what is happening in your life...glad you shared at a meeting...that often helps!
