Which beliefs hold you prisoner to yesterday
and limit your options for designing a great future?

or your communities opinions, rather than your own.

should become the foundation of your being -
your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.

a heightened sense of community.

the limiting fence of our own events,
activities and preoccupations.

you will notice the gentle touch
and will be able to respond. Remember...
There are no small acts of kindness.
Every compassionate act makes large the world.
