Our Friendships - Transcending

Hi All~
I wanted to be sure to share this video with all of you, my family of friends. It's called "Transcending" by author Kelly Corrigan.
While many of the details in the content may not be specific to our relationships in this 'virtual world', the message is certainly universal & I feel so blessed to experience the truth in her words with all of you.

Keep the Faith~

Great Link

I shared this video with the ladies in our community that have worked so hard in fighting breast cancer (walks, fundraisers, etc.) One of the ladies told me how much she appreciated the video...she went right to the library to get the book.

Thanks for passing it along!
