Courage to Connect by David Spinks Men imagine that they communicate their virtue or vice only by overt actions, and do not see that virtue or vice emit a breath every moment. – Ralph Waldo Emerson Who is one person that you’ve been dying to connect with, but just haven’t had the courage to reach out […]

#Trust30 – prompt#7 – Dare
Dare to be bold by Matt Cheuvront Our arts, our occupations, our marriages, our religion, we have not chosen, but society has chosen for us. We are parlour soldiers.
