reaching way out

just when i think i cannot hear
one more sad story;
when it seems like there is just so much
bad in the world,
i read this.
go on...click it. it is a short read.

jen lemen's words
about her trip to rwanda, to visit odette's children,
help me remember the power of sisterhood.
it reminds me that, if you listen to your heart
and do what is right,
then we really can make a difference.

  2. Hey sweet mama,
    My family is coming to Baltimore this weekend but I won't be with'em this time. I'm hoping to come up next time, which should be soon!

    I adore Jen Lemen's work. Her sister (a friend of mine)also has a blog, kindnessgirl.com

    until we meet again,

  4. I love this image. The color and the graininess adds to the mood of it. Jen Lemen's words always touch me and stay with me.
