of Mercy with everyone they meet.
Thank you, Mercy Volunteer Corps...

Alone...

I needed to be reminded of how good it is
to take some time alone....
A quiet space...
Alone..
can renew
and refresh us!
May we give that opportunity
to ourselves, and our children.

Where is your focus?

 
How do we want to use our energy?
There are things that we do not agree
with and want to change...
Do we focus on
"Being Against..."
or do we
Focus on the power
of the positive...
Healthy Earth....Unity in Diversity..
Peace as possible.. Change as good...
and take steps in that direction!
As Gandhi said: "We must be the change
we seek in the world"
