and nurtured by people of all races, creeds, 

colors and dreams."

Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream." - Lao Tzu

Feel

I will fight my battle 

and I will feel pain 

and I will have no loss 

and I will remain 

and I will stand proud 

and I will be strong 

and I will shed my light 

and I will sing my song 

and I will win 

and I will cry 

and I will spread my wings 

and I will fly 

Keith Perks

It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melody Beattie

in a dancing joy
then kneels down
in praise.
