Great and Noble Love

“Great and noble thoughts upon which you habitually dwell become great acts.” ~ Joseph Murphy ~ I went from crying daily for over a year to my present state of laughter and joy.  In part, it’s because of the two-hour exercise stints, which just feel incredible.  But mostly it’s because I’m learning to love and… Read more »
