I was overcome with the beauty of my precious children and I finally, finally learned the lesson of true love. [read: Twenty-twenty vision] It wasn’t just…
By the time we arrived in LaColline, Haiti, I was certain of two things: God was speaking to me again, finally. God was going to heal my body. I was half right on both counts. The first step was a fast. After reading about natural living (starting with Michelle’s blog, Frugal Granola) I was convinced…
