Let’s stop racism in it’s tracks once and all… for the whole planet… shall we?

Living Life Sans Malice.

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

(It’s sort of La Vida Loca) - I was speaking with a new friend of ours the other day. He shared with me that he works with mentally challenged children. He made a statement that has altered how I see life… permanently. He said that he truly enjoys his work because all […]
