Promise

I was digging through some old docs in my computer and found one titled “A Promise to Myself.”  What the heck would that be?  I opened it and was blessed by the words.  I obviously read this somewhere and loved it so much the first time that I copied it and saved it.  But, IContinue reading “Promise”

20 Years to Heal
