FROM  SOMEWHERE?


Everyone is from somewhere

and somewhere helps make

us who we are. My mom is

from Galway, Ireland and

my dad too - and my dad's

goal in life was to marry

my mom. Both were in 

America - she in Boston,

he in New York City. It

took over 10 years of love

letters - but he pulled it off.

Thank God. Everyone has

a story and everyone is from

somewhere. Where are you 

from and tell me your story?

Quote for Today


"If, as Herod, we fill our lives with things, and again with things; if we consider ourselves so unimportant that we must fill every moment of our lives with action, when will we have the time to make the long, slow journey across the desert as did the Magi? or sit and watch the stars, as did the shepherds? or brood over the coming of the child as did Mary? for each one of us, there is a desert to travel - a star to discover - and a being within ourselves to bring to life."

FACE  TO  FACE


Face the truth.

Face challenges

Face life in the face.

Face discouragement

Face significant disasters.

Face wrinkles.

Face time.

Face difficulties

Face risk.

Face ignorance.

Face knowing.

Face being loved.

Face the clock stopping.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE?


If it's damp or dry of dull

where you live - then maybe

it's time to sit in a different

chair - look out a different

window - turn the channel

on your TV and listen to

a different weather report.

Maybe you've become

damp or dry or dull within.
