My son Alex for standing up for himself and for his beliefs. For not caving in to "the man".
About me: Hi everyone,
It is Sunday morning, just after coffee with my dear friends Jamy and Brenda. We usually meet before church, though I usually bid them ado when they go, it is their church I guess, not mine, though I visit from time to time and happy to see so many friends in the congregation.
My church is still outdoors and I hope to go later today. It is the longest day of the year today, as far as sunlight goes, so I will indeed celebrate the solstice.
I am grateful for my quiet time in my office this morning, some needed healing from a challenging day yesterday. I think I cherish my time alone more than anything, because I have so many people in my life. I thrive on that too, but like anything, there is a need to balance solitude with relationships.
Well, time to put on some music, relax and feel what comes my way.
Many blessings,
Renee Baker
