I believe we have the power to change; through our actions, we can effect the direction of our personal lives and those around us. Often we think, in order for things to change, it has to be a grand gesture. Yes, we can take a giant leap to alter our (and others) ...

It is hard to believe, with the temperature tonight going down to -24C (with the windchill of -34C), that we are halfway to spring.  How do I know this? The groundhog had its day today, and predicted 6 more weeks of winter. And if groundhogs don't do it for you, ...
