Communication
Michele Judkins2020-05-14T20:18:21+00:00Do you remember the game where a message is whispered to one person who then whispers it to another and on down the line until it comes to the last person? I learned that game with the name telephone.

Michele Judkins2020-05-14T19:30:34+00:00I talked about second chances on Friday, how life is full of second chances, we just have to be willing to look for them. I saw real live evidence of that over the weekend.
