I think the title speaks for itself. "The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity - or it will move apart." ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt "Talent perceives differences; genius, unity." ~ William Butler Yeats “We are each … Continue reading Friday Philosophy…Unity

Friday Philosophy – Optimism

Friday Philosophy…The Face of Evil
It's nearly October. It's time to get scarier over here. Plus, someone told me that Mercury is in retrograde - so communication gets a little funky. 🙂 "It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways." ~ Buddha "He that is kind is free, though he is … Continue reading Friday Philosophy…The Face of Evil

So, today, I am just sharing some thoughts from other people who have experienced cancer. "Today we fight. Tomorrow we fight. The day after, we fight. And … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts…
