On the last day of school before Christmas the kids all lined up to give her presents. The first student gave ...read more

    When we articulate our past, we are getting ready for a repeat performance. The choice is ours ~ rehearse the past failures OR the past victories. David chose not to continue living in the past. Will you also take that step?
