Hi Christina,

I've thought about this comment a lot since I first read it. I agree - I need a purpose. And community.

The last 6 months or so have been rough - my dog was dying from cancer, and she's been my favorite little soul for the last 12.5 years, so the loss was a big one - and I've definitely been depressed and in a rut. Coming out of that experience, I agree that I've absolutely got to find a greater purpose than just adventure and fun. Adventure and fun was purpose enough in my 20s, and I made it stretch through my 30s as well. Now I'm approaching 40 and I'd like to serve a cause greater than myself.

What's brought the strongest sense of purpose to your life?
