Two of the most powerful guiding questions you can ask yourself on your soul’s journey through life are: “Am I giving my power away?” and “Am I taking away someone else’s power?” Let’s face it – we have all done both, somewhere along the way. From childhood on, we learn (often by example) about the proper and improper use of personal power.

With this month’s focus on the prostitute, we arrive at the last of the four “survival” archetypes all of us hold in common, according to Caroline Myss.

Oh, I did love summer, but near the end of August I typically got bored and longed for the opportunity to see my friends and learn new things. I was (and still am) a good student.
