Just spent the most wonderful weekend with the most beautiful people you’d ever care to meet on a Spiritual Retreat up at Benet Lake Retreat Center in Wisconsin. Beautiful grounds, beautiful people, life is good.
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed when there is light from within

A Monster Calls

A Monster Calls is a dramatic powerhouse, gripping your emotions as you connect with its young protagonist, brought to life by an extraordinary child actor. The true depth of the story lies between the lines, as it uses a child’s imagination to explore life’s biggest lessons—expressing your true self, accepting setbacks, and coming to terms with them











"You’ve got to dance like there’s nobody watching.
Love like you’ll never be hurt. Sing like there’s
nobody listening. And live like its heaven on earth."
” ~William W. Purkey

“Love is always bestowed as a gift – freely, willingly and without expectation. We don’t love to be loved; we love to love.” ~Leo Buscaglia










We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future.”
— John F. Kennedy
