Like We Used To

People with little knowledge
make up for it by
having big opinions.
Pixie



This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in.
Theodore Roosevelt



Let's trust the light
with open mind,
Embrace the good
we wish to find.

Kind thoughts our beacon,
bright and strong,
Summon angels
to come along.

So let us raise
our hearts on high,
Embrace the good, 
come on! Let's fly!
Cloudia Charters 




Encourage people in this challenging time simply by being kind. Remember how we used to do it? It was no big deal. Now it's huge. 
Fortunately, we are up to it!
Cloudia
