Where you lead, I can follow
I was facilitating a meeting this afternoon of a team of amazing leaders. I assembled this team to work on implementing a grant that we received to bring primary health care to people living with mental illness.

In the dark

It started one morning when he woke up aloneContinue reading “Ap-pre-ci-ate”
Silent tears
Our life plan is puzzling. It is hard to understand why certain things happen the way they do in our lives. We can give up so much, open up our heart and soul.
