What the World needs Now
Finally got moved into my new house. I got here yesterday but had to walk to my new house in the rain so I was soaked when I finally got here and just took the afternoon/night to rest. This morning I woke up bright and early and went to the Dispensa (grocery-store type thing…) and [...]
Video found here. Posted with vodpod I Loved this Video. I cried… but who’s surprised? My Favorite lines were: If you just take the time to get to know someone, everyone’s a saint.

I came across this website/blog today. I don’t remember how but I’m glad that I did. I’m sure you know by now that my Heart rests somewhere in the chaos that is Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault.
