Quest for Spiritual Awarness

The past few weeks have been very ...... hmmm whats the word ...... enlighting would be the best way to describe it. I have been on a personal quest of spiritual awarness, much needed. Its so easy to get lost in other people's world and forget your own. Something I tend to do often since I usually put others needs before my own.
