They had their hopes set for the Promised Land. Waking up every morning to take one step after another to reach that place they had only dreamt about. The place of freedom and a fresh new beginning. The place where they would raise their children in safety and in love. And yet there they were, […] Read more…
Last year as I was sitting around a table drinking tea and sharing what was going on in my life with my mentor she told me something that I will never forget. Something so unbelievably awful I couldn’t believe she had the nerve to utter it out loud. She said six simple, yet profound words. […] Read more…
