   I've been thinking about this lately. Where is my niche? Where do I belong? We all need a purpose in life, need to feel secure, and "fit in" where we live. This happens not only when others around us appreciate our efforts and find value in what we do, but in how complete and satisfied we feel where we are at. Our niche may be at home, in causes we believe in, in our spirituality, within our families, among friends, work etc. Are you involved in your community? Do people know you by name? Do you feel like you fit in? These are all good questions to ask yourselves. So find your niche, feel complete, and be proud of who you are!
