Roots in all Directions … (07/18/17)

  “Reach out and help others. If you have the power to make someone happy, do it. Be a vessel, be the change, be the difference, or be the inspiration. Shine your light as an example. The world needs more of that.” ~ Germany Kent  

Kindness shares what there is to share … (07/18/12)
