In the wake of the Death of military me, grieving hurts. What is this bereavement that I feel for my Solider identity who is no longer? Yet still, I AM...!  00:27:00OwnOurTruthnoUnfolding Realizations from and mourning the Death of who I have been!http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ownourtruth/2015/09/02/lets-talk-life-lj-session3Self Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ownourtruth/2015/09/02/lets-talk-life-lj-session3/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ownourtruth/2015/09/02/lets-talk-life-lj-session3Wed, 02 Sep 2015 05:16:44 GMTLet's Talk Life LJ (Session3)"When we change the Way we look at things, the things we look at Change!"-W.D. 00:44:00OwnOurTruthno#BlogTalkRadio,#LetsTalkLifeLJ,#Liveabetterlife,#This2ShallPassAway"This Too Shall Pass Away!"http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ownourtruth/2015/08/23/lets-talk-life-w-ljsession2-seeingconfrontingSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ownourtruth/2015/08/23/lets-talk-life-w-ljsession2-seeingconfronting/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ownourtruth/2015/08/23/lets-talk-life-w-ljsession2-seeingconfrontingSun, 23 Aug 2015 01:18:48 GMTLet's Talk Life w/ LJ(Session2) Seeing&Confronting...Ever take a moment to see yourself, see your fear?
