“The good and the beautiful is not forgotten; it lives in legend and in song.” ― Hans Christian Andersen, Classic Fairy Tales There was a time in your life when everything made sense—when nothing was complicated.

“I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become” ~ Oprah Winfrey Twists, turns, changes, gifts and new challenges; this is life. Often we are brought these things.
