For Extra Body
Reading the labels on common everyday products can be revealing.
No Batteries Needed
Discovering the world of books was a far greater gift than little army men or toys that required batteries to power a child’s imagination.
My Best Christmas
Looking back at all of my Christmases I see a theme, loving and sharing. That’s the gift mom gave to me. There’s always someone who needs something that you can give. Even if you have no money, you can share what you do have. It’s the love you give away that matters most.

With common decency applied, you really can “come as you are.”
