I'm grateful, however, that we don't need to go through it alone. What a gift to be able to 'sister' one another into the future in meaningful ways that also contributes to the common good. How can we share the good news of mutual respect and collective decisionmaking as a resource for state, national and international dis-ease, differences, and stalemates at this time in history? Let us continue on, one step of time, into the discovery of how to move forward.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223457462862572162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4510499696891370605.post-84590763825176030012010-12-28T13:04:20.872-06:002010-12-28T13:04:20.872-06:00I really like those words - "The beauty of th...I really like those words - "The beauty of the ordinary!"
