A Moving Quote
I was reading the other day and stumbled upon this quote. I do not honestly know who wrote it but it was worth sharing. I truly believe this and that is why it caught my eye. For those of you who sometimes, or more than often, find the negative in everything you do or anyone […]
Taking Care of You

A Special Holiday Gift for the Troops
I wanted to do something different this year for someone special and really thought about this and decided that I have never sent our troops any of my books. I questioned a colleague of mine and her brother is a Seargent in Iraq, so it fit in perfectly with my thought. I was able to […]
