Our bodies do not define us. Our heart and soul do.
We spend our lives looking in the mirror, only sometimes happy with what we see. You know what? We may never be, but we should understand that our bodies are truly just vessels carrying our heart and soul and do not define who we are. After holding my mother’s hand...
Once a Blue Devil…Always a Blue Devil
I have proudly been a Blue Devil for 42 years. COVID may have stolen our 40th celebration but not our spirit. My high school memories are strong, and I am thankful for the many friendships I still enjoy over these four decades. Some members of my class were gone, and...
