Whether suffering from a chronic illness or not, every human being will experience a “Dark Night of the Soul” at some point in their life. Dealing with health challenges or disability may result in more long, dark nights. I am no stranger to them. At times, the pain – both mental and physical – is [...]

Persevere and Triumph
November 29, 2011 – 9:00 am
Both of these photos represent the triumph of the human spirit (to me). The first is a well known public figure – a Canadian (and International!) hero, Terry Fox.
