"Open your eyes to see humanity
Open your mind to see love
Open your brain to learn

Open your heart to forgive..."

-Sonal Takalkar

May we keep our eyes, our minds, and our hearts open to learning and growing, to forgiving and healing, and to living fully with love and compassion.

If we close in any way, let's remember - let's be assured - that we can reopen to love, to dreams, to hope and beauty, to joy and the fullness of life, possibly even more deeply and richly than ever before. 

With love, wisdom, and grace, we can. 

Truly,
Charlene

THE TENTH GIFT IS WISDOM.
Wisdom will lead you
through knowledge to understanding.
May you hear its soft voice.
- from The Twelve Gifts of Birth 

Even a long-shuttered and neglected window can be reopened for light, air, and beauty.
