FMM 12 13 13 Long Time Coming
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”~ Leo Tolstoy. I am an impatient person, of this I am fully aware. I have to consciously make myself wait, breathe, and allow things to happen. We are often dissatisfied with our life, our jobs, the people we share space with, […]
FMM 9 20 13 River come down
“When peace like a river…” There are times when the news is hard to believe. Fact can indeed be stranger than fiction.
