You\u2019re always seeking knowledge and understanding. You take risks and\u00a0always carve your own path. YOU will never be invisible!\u201d <\/em> I countered.<\/p>\n She nodded deep in thought not hearing a word. I could see the fear in her eyes.<\/p>\n I think we all get to a point (for most of us it\u2019s sometime in our 50\u2019s) when we start searching for meaning and purpose. We want our lives to count. We want to use \u00a0our accumulated wisdom to be a contributor.. We want to keep growing. We want our voices to be \u00a0heard.<\/p>\n The question is\u2026how?
