Passed onto me from a friend, edited to my liking. My Divine Creator - Thanks for your magnificent presence sanctified in me. Thanks for your powers given onto me - in my soul and my body.

I give thanks for the knowledge that is my divine heritage illuminating my mind, enabling me to lead others into the lighted path. ~Danielle Marie Crume
