No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow.
– Alice Walker
Friends should lift us up when we are down, support our dreams and goals no matter where we are at in our lives, and they should always listen. Listening is key to any relationship. No one should ever feel that their voice is being silenced by someone else. Be the friend who shows up, listens and supports your friend’s dreams.

Today, I am re-minded that a ray of sun can be like the gift of a thousand smiles. And the rain can feel like a thousand tears. Yet, both are the blessings of life. Everyday, I have the opportunity to see the gifts of life and nature before my eyes, and I am grateful. – Pamela Leavey

Bird Highway, by Pamela Leavey Bird highway with lots of fast food stops all around the house. Cardinals in pairs, Sparrows by the dozen. Why lately we’ve spotted six Bluebirds almost daily. The Bluebirds are special. They are of course— The Bluebird of Happiness. Look, look at me, said the bird in the tree. What if you were like me flying free. Fill the suet, stock the seed we will all be by to sing our songs. All different, our colors. All vibrant our feathers as delicate as a breeze. If you build a bird highway, They will make it their regular flyway.
