If you stop and think about it, each one of us has all kinds of life dreams. Some of our dreams are very small, and some are very big. And each one is important. What are your dreams? Our age, our gender, our family, where we live, money, health, life experiences, and other forces, such as war and peace, can influence our dreams. What are your dreams? The small ones and the big ones? Think about it: Your dreams are different than a child living in a war zone, or a parent tryi

"Today in our granddaughter's class, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., the 3 and 4 year old children were given 5 paint colors that we all have in our skin tone, and asked to create the color closest to their own. Each completed color was discussed, how we all have all 5 in varying degrees, and our uniqueness and individuality honored. "My eyes teared up as I read about it. "Maybe we all need to go back to preschool so that we can be reminded of the things that are truly im

About 40 years ago a friend gave me a can with these words on the label: When You Can't.... God Can.* The can has a little slit on the top, like a piggy bank.

We're at the start of a new year, which equals new beginnings for so many of us. So, the answer to, "What brings meaning to your life?" changes as each person's life changes. And we are at a point of change.

But if you are the parent of that 8 year old, what bring

"This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I r
