"When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait.” ~ Paulo Coelho

Let's bravely be true to our highest ideals and stand for them, speak about them, reach for them when they are challenged, and live them.

With strength, courage, faith, and hope,
Charlene

P.S. - And always with love. Always with love and compassion.
