Andrew CardI had a very down-to-earth product, my wrap dress, which was really a uniform. It was just a simple little cotton-jersey dress that everybody loved and everybody wore.

Don't think, dress, or act like the world; inwardly and outwardly, let others see the difference He makes in your life.

Be a poem.

And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to "God" are all answered at about the same 50% rate.
