Heavenly Position Guidance Challenge:

For this week’s Heavenly Position System Challenge, take out your journal and find a quiet place if possible and I even encourage those who don’t currently journal. Write and answer this in your journal. How has grief affected your life? Grief of a loved one, loss of a friendship or job or maybe your health. Grief comes in waves. How does that grief come in and out of your life?
