LAURA DOES IT AGAIN

Who We Are...


Is defined much by the way we move in the world. Both our actions and our inactions alike. The kindnesses we do and do not extend to others. The Love we spread. The helps we lend. The smiles we bring. The laughter we share. The Light we shed in moments of darkness.

We determine who we are through our thoughts and actions alike. However others pass through our lives - sometimes for short periods of time, sometimes for the expanse of years or even the course of our entire lives - who provide us with shared experiences that bring great lessons. Our responses to these lessons shape, mold, and forge the very selves that we become. So it is only right that we thank those who have brought us the gifts of lessons through love and joy, hearthache and pain, for they are all equally valuable, and contribute to helping determine who we shall become.

My thanks to those who have had such tremendous impact on my life.



Imagine...


If We All Took The Time
To Express Our Gratitude
For the Beautiful People
Who Bless Our Lives...
And the Lessons They Deliver...
Both the obvious Lessons of Love
and those disguised as Heartache, as well...
Imagine the Possibilities!
