Thanks Steph,

This was so touching and beautiful. Both of my grandmothers came from the Emerald Isle. I do believe the trials make us stronger.

Sincerely,

Liz J.

Steph,
what a beatutiful blessing.
Thank you for that.
I've been to Scoland but not Irelend and my daughter's been to both.
She said I surely have to go the Emerald Isle
Is that true ??
She claims another trip is in order.....
What do you think.?
I truly love the Irish even though they don't like to hug like my Itanlian fireinds and have in the them an inate desire to just hug people whether they be Scoch, Irish, Sweds ( unlkiely because I'm married to one and their are a little stiff ) ( trust me I know).......
So do I go to Ireland and enjoy the total warmth or do i stay in my sanctuary of no- touchhee no feelee
Do I freely expose myself. ??
I hoe the answer is yes.....
Hope you appreciate my humor because these days, that's s how I GET BY.

Carol

Wink Oh What A Special Blessing...

Thank you Steph for the blessing that touched my Soul. The haunting melody is stirring. The message and the scenery all full of God, as are we. We learn to find grace and belief in the darkest moments of our Soul. We are meant to grow with each day, ever seeking to learn and share. We return to God when we understand that we have always been One... I feel a part of God as I feel God is a part of me. Blessings to you all...
Andi
