How Does one find purpose? It’s an idea we explore throughout it…certainly, fashion serves a purpose -or many a source of optimism. But purpose itself is an elastic word. It can connote drive intention, ambition. It can involve goals and dreams we watch for ourselves. It can be borne of experience – of things we try do, survive, or endure. It can be a product of courage or fear. Sometimes the sense of purpose we embrace immediate: to fix something, to help someone, to go or leave somewhere. Others, it’ more profound: to transform systems, to move hearts difference between a job and a cause, an activity and a mission. It can ignite or overwhelm. But it can also lead to those rare, fleeting moments when everything seems to crystallize and we appear to fully understand who we are, why we’re here and what we need to do. The irony is that those moments of apparent clarity can sometimes be the hardest when we’re confronted with the most difficult decisions and choices we’ll ever face. But they can also appear as bright, shinning beacons that show us the way ahead.

Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real-life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging”, as I know each of these pieces represents something…
A very sound post. You may know that early bereavement and single parenthood gave me mine

Thank you very much msw. An update on the three black girls: My daughter has continued the search and has numerous hits from old school mates who remember them, mostly the middle one (who asked me to take the photograph). Becky is now going to find a site for the school, which many have named. None are still in touch with the ladies.
