"Once we clearly acknowledge the soul, we can learn to hear it's cries. - Dallas Willard, Renovation Of The Heart."

It takes courage to pursue our dreams. It takes time and patience to unearth buried treasure. But I believe with all my heart that we must do both.

She is lit from within, what a moment! I'm sue you were laughing and crying all at the same time. It's a strange thing how joy and loss can occupy our being at the same time.
