3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Whatever the machinations of others, for this character there are new heights of clarity and inner peace, a quiet mind and a well-defined purpose. Gratitude is without doubt the prevailing attitude. I am at peace with the man in the mirror, so with this character so settled, my conscious is free to rise to higher levels. Ultimately consciousness will live outside the character completely and simply "enjoy the show"

8. TRIVIA
About 37% of all abortions occur to African American women, 34 % to non-Hispanic Caucasian women, 22% to Hispanic women, and 8% to other races (The small overlap between racial categories create a total of 101%). Approximately 50% of women who obtain an abortion are younger than 25. Women who have never married obtain two-thirds of all abortions. Younger women are more likely to request an abortion after 12 weeks.
9. ZEN WISDOM
The worst mistake you can make is to give up on yourself and stop challenging yourself for fear of failure. Keep moving forward with a firm eye on the future, telling yourself, “I’ll start from today!” “I’ll start afresh from now, from this very moment!”
