In Anne Morrow Lindbergh’s book, Gift from the Sea, she states something so profound yet lost on us in the daily grind. “When the heart is flooded with love there is no room in it for fear, for doubt, for hesitation.” I define love in this sentence as gratefulness, graciousness, admiration, appreciation and compassion.  If… Read More

A tradition Deanna and I have any time we visit the beach is to walk along the shore line and collect sea shells.
