What have I trained for?

The following quote is credited to a Navy Seal:“Under pressure, you don’t rise to the occasion; you sink to the level of your training.” Made me wonder, “What am I prepared for? What have I trained for?” And that took me back to the emotional and spiritual battle I shared with you on January 27,… Read More

Cancer: Life’s Whack-a-Mole Game

The Loudest Love

I just saw on this on Pinterest, but I was unable to track down the source. Making someone feel seen, heard, and understoodis the loudest way to love them.
