We all want to make a difference, to live in peace, to have joy each morning that we get to live this day and see what it brings.

This breath, and this moment, and this life is a gift and we are all in this together. We all have countless choices every day to close down or stand up straight and open up, and take a big breath and say YES to the gift.

Faith can take many different forms and expressions.
