I think/feel ANYTHING And EVERYTHING connects us &amp;amp; brings us together. But if I had to list what really makes the difference beside LOVE that would be HUMOR AND JOY.

And do it with a contagious laughter, positive attitude &amp;amp; pronoic actions that transforms everything.

      <title>Friendships and Choices</title>
      <link>http://pods.gaia.com/joy/discussions/view/349408#349408</link>
      <description>I am in the process of writing a very important blog, one that illustrates a different sort of lifestyle that I have become accustomed to for the past several years.&amp;nbsp; My adherence to this lifestyle and its principles, &lt;strong&gt;without being completely open about it&lt;/strong&gt;, has cost me some important and valuable friendships; perhaps friendships I shall never regain.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of this aspect alone, I am sad.&amp;nbsp; I have shared with Gaians I trusted several pieces of this lifestyle, but never the whole reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My life here on Gaia is at a crossroads.&amp;nbsp; Which way it will go, I cannot say.&amp;nbsp; It is a co-creative process in connection with others.&amp;nbsp; All I can do at this juncture is to be as truthful, fearless, and responsible as I am able to be.&amp;nbsp; I hope that I am listened to in this manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For I am taking a chance here on Gaia.&amp;nbsp; I am telling the truth about me.&amp;nbsp; I may be scorned, ridiculed, or outcast further than ever before.&amp;nbsp; But I will do my best to weather the storm, assuming it will come.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if the storm of Gaian opinion does not swirl around me, then I will celebrate with friends who stand next to me, who met me in this sweet field of Gaia, and saw the beauty, inside and outside, of me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My intention is to publish my blog this weekend; please look for it.</description>
