Excerpt
When I think about life mission and the basic goodness of people, I wonder how anyone could be doing their life mission and not be in a space of gratitude and kindness. Life mission brings out the goodness of life. Life mission keeps our eyes full of wonder and the beauty of life. If I think of all the times I looked around in the middle of my life in the horizontal world, in the midst of doing work I loved, I always feel enormously blessed. Doing the work we lovealways blesses us with the gifts we give. I can see the very thing we give is the gift that life mission returns to us.
It may be that the gift of a life mission is that it’s the closest we can get in this life to seeing the face of God. I see the face of the One every time I make a decision to listen to the call. When I see someone answer the call, I look up and I smile and I say thank you for the privilege of witnessing it. I feel that humanity has a chance, after all. I see a great deal of that. Maybe that is one of the greatest gifts of doing one’s life mission. I see such longing in people. I see such heart in people and the pain of wanting to do more. I hear such longing to make a difference in life.
It is good to see that in people. It is so easy to come to think people don’t care. It feels so good to experience someone willing to make great sacrifices to make the world a better place.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
