Race to the Oak Tree .  The last journal entry was about the 'TOP FIVE' in your life. Did you make your list? We choose who we spend time with each day.  That is in our control and part of our responsibility to surround ourselves with wisdom and love.  It begins with us to have a positive life and be there for others as a good moving force in the world around us.   In every spoken word; in every typed email or letter; in every thought a...

Walking by Faith and not by Sight . Horse of Midnight . Contemporary Western Horse Paintings When we bought this two story house two years ago, Diane Whitehead laughed when I posed the thought...
