She was beautiful and popular, had style, and the perfect boyfriend, Dominic Russo. That summer, with plenty of graduation parties, Mackenzie, Dominic, and Davion, a friend of theirs, found themselves going from one to another on the night of July 30th. Early the following morning, the trio left the party from the night before, to what people believed was to go home, but that wasn't what happened. Mackenzie's car ended up in a horrific crash that would claim the lives of Dominic...2025-05-151h 06
Read-Aloud Revival ®RAR #252: The Making of Because BarbaraA library should be a kind of paradise, don’t you agree? Author and illustrator Barbara Cooney certainly thought so. Barbara Cooney was an extraordinary author and illustrator of over 100 children’s books with stories that span the world, from the shores of Greece to the mountains of Appalachia.

The Brain is a topic I've been fascinated with since I heard comforting voices soothing me as a child. I understood more when I began studying alternative medicine in 1980, the human energy system & human emotion.

This is NOT A HOW TO session. We all have many layers that make up the complex characters that we are.

How we connect to ourselves matters and we deserve the same compassion we serve others. Community is determined by these communications.
How we treat one another matters because we have not been taught HOW TO. We've been encouraged to compete. To win at all cost. The division in the hearts of our ancestors is not our burden now.
