Embracing the future
As days pass & months turn into years, the forward movement of time seems to catch us all by surprise. Our once high energy toddlers are graduating high school, then college while weddings, babies & new homes are the norm. This new norm however, isn't for us, but it is for the 'younger' generation that…
Time
I have been told time heals all wounds, but does it? Life is a series of experiences triumphs & tragedies that the passage of time can soften our memories of. Time however, doesn't make those feelings go away. As we grow older & have more memories in our memory bank we can be selective as…

Another year has passed and what have you done? Have you achieved all you hoped for at the beginning of 2013? Are you happy or sad to see this year go and a new one begin? Welcoming a new year is part of life. Days turn into weeks, into months and into years and they…
Living with the truth…..
Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world of people acting respectfully and responsibly; a world where people spoke the truth instead of distorting it? Wouldn't it be nice if your relatives were role models and nice people? Wouldn't it be nice if those who supposedly loved us actually showed it to us…
