Susan notes: I love how these Daily Om messages often speak to me directly... so many life lessons to learn, so little time to learn them!

Disappointment provides us a bridge from expectations to acceptance of reality, wisdom, and the energy to begin again.

Whenever we do something in life with an expectation of how we would like it to turn out, we risk experiencing disappointment. 

Huda Sosebee (nee Al-Masri), passed peacefully over to God”s loving embrace on July 15, 2009 in her home in Kent, Ohio with her beloved family, following a seven-month battle with Leukemia.

Huda was the head social worker for the Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF).

Thanks to the Daily Om.

We all have a story to tell whether we publish it or keep it for just ourselves or family; allow yourself to be heard.

Everyone, at one time or another, has wanted to express his or her story.

Writing a memoir to read privately, share with family or friends, or publish is an emotionally satisfying way to gain perspective on your experiences while sharing your unique voice.
