You can only go as far as you push. Actions speak louder than words. The hardest thing to do is watch the one you love, love somebody else. Don' t let the past hold you back; you' re missing the good stuff.

Under the Billow

It started with a lost tooth, but ended in a completely new discoveryOne morning last spring, my daughter, Laurel, paraded down the stairs wearing a silky pink dress, red plastic high heels and sparkling multicolor wings. She carried a wand. "Do you think the tooth fairy will come tonight?" she asked in a hushed, expectant voice.

It all started with an exam where, to my surprise, I was told I would have to have a tooth pulled.

There is an old saying that says it best with:If you don’t use it,you lose it.
