It was an interactive book . . . → Read More: My Turn…My Town! I’m making my way, one more time, through Melody Beattie’s “More…The Language of Letting Go”. At least this time I understand the concept. At least this time I have made huge progress in that elusive, but necessary, part of life. The arrangement of the topics over the last three days caught my interest. March . . . → Read More: Manna + Trappings = Peace |
