Blessing of Silence

"May the peace of the Spirit bless you, and lead you on life's journey.
Be not afraid of the Silence, for
Wisdom's Voice is heard there!
... Wise are those who learn through silence;
learn then to listen well.
For beyond the silence and stillness...

His previous "mom" told us he was very popular. We got a sense of it when we went to her going away party, before she left the country and gave Bou to us to adopt and love. We took Bou to the party of course and he was a hit. Everyone there knew h...

Tonight was the night we had to let our beautiful Noah go. I'm crying. Providence, in her care, saw to it that I was home with him all day. Instead of going into DC for 12 hours, I had a training class nearby. I got to the hotel only to find I got...
