Well it’s that time of the month again to pose my monthly spiritual questions for everyone to ponder. I hope each of you will take the time to mull them over and maybe even share a few of your responses after you have. And as always, my own answers are listed below as well.

1. What do you think happens to you after you die?
2. What is your definition of a true friend?

And one more for good measure:

11. If you could have God answer one question, what would it be?

My answers:

1. First, a reflection back upon my entire life, including my choices, decisions, and lessons learned. Second, time spent with others in spirit form, including ancestors and other beings of light.

And finally, the option to return into a new physical form with more lessons to grasp in the next life.

7. No one, just me.
8. Either the day my father took his own life or the one where my mother took her tragic fall down the stairs.
