How to start the day off on the right foot.
Every morning I plug into my classical music, go to the garden and ask life to be good to me and in turn I’ll try my best to follow through alike. I have also had come to thank every dawn for allowing me an extra day on this earth. Because I don’t take any day for […]

Last Christmas I sat with my godchild to draw and, as our picture progressed, I drew a girl crying. My godchild asked me why. I told her that she was sad because the world was in trouble, with wars going on, shootings in schools and universities, and climate change due to the damage we humans […]
