Hi Sandy,

A sense of place and belonging are things I have struggled with since childhood, as well. It has become easier to shut out and shut down than to deal with disappointments that seem to never stop. Getting to the “letting go” of these feelings has not come for me just yet but I’m trying… I love Lyla’s purpose – to help. That is my focus this new year – to hold out my hand to anyone who needs a lift upwards. Nothing bad can come from extending hope and peace to another person.

I wish you all good things today and always, Sandy.
