Pictures
Take a look around,
Feel what you see.
Maybe it's a
memory, maybe it's nature, maybe it's love.
Find some pictures--your
own, a friend's, a book.
Let yourself go to

belief of how children eloquently, but simply, teach us important
lessons. |

Scar
by Carly Simon: Ms. Simon wrote this song during her recovery
from breast cancer treatment. It promotes the concept, embraced by Dr.
Bernie Siegel, that one heals better if the reality of an illness is
accepted, rather than "battled". Consider reading his book, Love,
Medicine, and Miracles if you're interested in reading more about this
topic. Lyrics Here |
| I
Want to Live by John Denver: A beautifully powerful

James Taylor: Look for the little things in life, because they're

by Don McLean, instrumental performed by Chet
Atkins. Just close your eyes and listen. Lyrics Here |

Garfunkel. A classic piece about helping others. Lyrics Here |

Long as You Love (Scarlet Wings) by Cindy Bullens.
Jesse Bullens-Crewe was a passionate, loving, bright girl with a head
full of flowing red hair to match her personality. She lives in our
hearts and in this song. Lyrics
