 Are you ready for the renewal, revival, rebirth

and growth that comes with Spring?

I believe in the process. I believe in four seasons.

I believe that winter’s tough, but spring’s coming.
I believe that there’s a growing season.
And I think that you realize that in life, you grow.
You get better.
Steve Southerland

 The Light

It's always there, waiting to be found.

"One discovers the light in darkness, that is what darkness is for;

but everything in our lives depends on how we bear the light.

It is necessary, while in darkness, to know that 

there is a light somewhere, to know that in oneself,

waiting to be found, there is a light."

James Baldwin

Will the place where you've been any 

better off for your having been there?

"Being There: 

I think when you are somewhere, you oughta be there. 

'Cause it's not about how long you stay in a place. 

It's about what you do while you're there. 

And - when you go, will the place where you've been any 

better off for your having been there?"
