Unconditional love…?

Rick Tobias, CEO of Yonge Street Mission in downtown Toronto, teaches my Youth at Risk class. Rick stated that “We abandon our kids when they abandon our values.

Chasing lights in the dark

It’s been an incredible journey the last while, I haven’t had time to post. Which is great in a way, since for the most part we really should be more busy living than busy writing about living.
