way, she would softly make suggestions that were extremely deep, and meaningful.<\/p>\n<p>Just before she died she reminded me, once again, that we weren&#8217;t put on this planet to just work &amp; pay bills&#8230;life has so much more meaning, with important life purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, we have to pay the bills, but she was right &#8211; when you open up to the Universe &#8211; open up to your higher self &#8211; you can support yourself AND live the life you were meant to live. \u00a0A life with meaning. \u00a0A life that you can be happy about.<\/p>\n<p>I guess that is why I used to always call Morgan &#8220;my little Buddha&#8221; \u00a0&#8211; ever since she was a little girl. \u00a0Some of you will relate when I say, she was wise beyond her years.<\/p>\n<p>I miss my little Buddha, but all her insightful suggestions have stayed with me, and still help me to this very day. \u00a0I am still learning, and understanding from her&#8230;who said children don&#8217;t teach their parents? \u00a0The most important lessons in life I have learned from my children &#8211; I will always be grateful that I am their mother.<\/p>\n<p>The picture below was taken of Morgan, right around the time I started calling her my little Buddha&#8230;she is very young in this picture, but she was already very wise &#8211;
