Survivor Story
In 2013, 2017, and 2022 I was blessed to visit the 9/11 Memorial in New York City — all incredibly moving experiences.

“All of us have in our veins the same exact percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean.” ~ John F. Kennedy There is much we can learn from the ocean as …

All Is Well.
Have you hoped, wished and prayed with the best intentions for guidance or certain answers, and nothing seems to be happening?
