What an extraordinary time this has been for the world. To those who have lost friends and family, my heart and prayers go out to you. I know this has been devastating for many – from the loss of loved ones, the loss of jobs, money, in many cases homes. Watching the news is disheartening […]
Graduation
Everyone looks forward to this rite of passage. Parents look forward to seeing their children take flight into adulthood. Children look forward to laying claim to “getting through” the craziness of school, school, school.
