BOOKS ARE MAGIC!

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles.

THE BENEFITS OF SISTERHOOD

The month of September’s schedule is already chocked full. Despite the harried pace and stress that comes from an overextended calendar, I’m always left feeling enriched since I set aside time each day to dedicate to serving others in some manner.
