I was watching The Talk on MLK day today and the hosts brought their children because they all were off from school. They asked their children what MLK meant to them.

Once again we are reminded not to take a minute of the life we are . . . → Read More: Loss – Again….. I’m reading a book suggested to me by my daughter, Erin. It’s called The Book Of Awakening by Mark Nepo. It’s a daily meditation book from Oprah’s book list. Yesterday’s passage dealt with pearl divers. This one little excerpt illustrates what REAL friendship is all about. The title was We Must Take Turns. Sounds . . . → Read More: Pearl Divers Expressing emotion is different for everyone. Some people are yellers. They just need to burst and get it out. Some people are thinkers. They just need to crawl away by themselves and ponder their way through it. Some people are artists.
