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…
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?
