Let’s Share Our Stories
Right off, please let me thank you for reading my blog and my many stories. I am a deep well and there’s plenty in me to talk about. But today, it isn’t my story. It is the story I read on social media a couple of days ago that urges me to ask you to…
Is it Clothes or the Heart That Makes Us?
I saw these “ancient” photos and how stylish and dressed-to-the-nines we were back then. I remembered Mark Twain’s quote: “Clothes make the man! Naked people have little or no influence on society.” I had to laugh at that thought and visual! AND, consider how many almost-naked folks should heed his words! This photo is my…
