I'd assume the 'minute particulars' are individuals in this case. I'll
share with you my personal purpose that I've defined and continued
refining over the past year (part of the growth Carol asks about).

"Create a positive difference in other people's lives. Help others become
the best they can be through the sharing of my own life experiences,
philosophies and insights, while learning from them and being attentive to
their needs and desires. To travel the world providing my family and
happy and enjoyable life and give my children a truly global education"

give of yourself that you really give.' -- Kahil Gibran
