These are words I want him to live by, no matter the circumstance. Words I want him to believe toContinueContinue reading “Living by our Mantra”

I was doing a yoga practice the other day and the instructor was talking about treating hope like a muscle. It takes time and practice to anchor your life with hope. This got me thinking…I want to exercise my hope muscle, daily. I want to make it stronger, but it is certainly not something thatContinueContinue reading “Hope”
